Cell Phone Numbers are not going PUBLIC to telemarketers today!!

EDIT:

You may get an e-mail stating this, but after further research, it turns out that you DON'T need to register your cell#....

A typical e-mail will state:
Important FYI
Cell phone numbers going public today.

REMINDER....all cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies today and you will start to receive sale calls.

....YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:
888-382-1222.

It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time
It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

I don't think that this is true... might want to confirm before putting your cell on the national DNC list.

Where's the offical link that provides this information?
This has been around since 2004. So if it's true let's
see an offical confirmation.

Not true

You may receive an email saying cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers "tomorrow" and you must register your cell phone number with the National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry to avoid being charged for these calls. According to a press release by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), this information is not true and there is no deadline for registering your cell phone number.

Cell Phones and Telemarketers

The FTC says cell phone numbers are NOT being released to telemarketers in the near future. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Using automated dialers is standard in the telemarketing industry, and in most cases, cell phone owners must give their consent for telemarketers to call their cell phone

I stand corrected. Dang, what would happen if you registered, I bet you now your cellphone number will be on a DNC list which can become public and released to telemarketers....UGH!
