[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Register your cell phone?

[Cabal]

Where did this info come from. 

It's still illegal to send marketing faxes because it cost people money. 

What will happen if telemarketers start calling cell phones is that people
will stop using them. Plain and simple, I'll terminate my service I start
getting that crap everywhere I go.

But where's the official link that has the story that backs up the claim
these numbers are going public and it is now lawful to do this? I ask,
because there was a "rumor" a few years ago about the same thing that turned
out to be false.

Plus, it seems weird that I watch the news (too often) and never heard a
word about this.

Geoff:
Does this mean that there will be a listing of your mobile numbers 
available? No such thing exists publicly in the UK. Getting someone's 
mobile number - or email address for that matter - can be a nightmare.
