Cell phone numbers going public. - Register them on the government Do Not Call list.
I'm fairly sure this is true as I got a telemarketing call today, or it could just be a very weird coincidence. Either way, can't hurt to have your cell on the DO NOT CALL list.

You may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.
You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. Federal Communications Commission regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers.
