I just love it when people forward well-known urban legends to mailing
lists :o)

http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp

"[Signing up with the National Do Not Call Registry] will not keep wireless
customer listings out of the proposed Wireless 411 database - it will only
add their phone numbers to a list of numbers off-limits to most
telemarketers, a step which is premature (because the Wireless 411 directory
has not yet been implemented) and largely unnecessary (because the Wireless
411 directory information is not supposed to be supplied to telemarketers,
and because FCC regulations already in place block the bulk of telemarketing
calls to cell phones)."
