    Claim:   Cell phone users must register their numbers with the
    national "Do Not Call" directory to prevent their cell phone
    numbers from being released to telemarketers.

    Status:   False.

Not that adding your number to the DNC list isn't a good thing, but
not doing so is not going to cause a sudden stream of telemarketers
calling you on your cell phone.  We added all of our phone numbers,
including our cell phone, as soon as New York enacted the state-
level law before there was a federal DNC list  It hasn't stopped all
of the calls, but it's rare that we get such calls.

(BTW, the above warning has been circulating since at least 2004.)
