For whoever is interested, this issue is a Hoax!
Here's some accurate information:
The Truth About Cell Phones and the National Do Not Call Registry
If you've received an e-mail telling you that your cell phone is about to
be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number
database, rest assured that this is not the case.
Telemarketing to cell phone numbers has always been illegal in most cases
and will continue to be so. In response to recent e-mail campaigns urging
consumers to place their cell phone numbers on the National Do Not Call
Registry, the Federal Trade Commission and Federal Communications
Commission issue this advisory to give consumers the facts.

JUST A REMINDER...
14 days from today, cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing
companies. You will start to receive sale calls. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR
THESE CALLS! These telemarketers will eat up your free minutes and end up
costing you money in the long run.
To prevent this, call 1-888-382-1222 from your cell phone. It is the
National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take 15 seconds of your time. It
blocks your number for five (5) years.
PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
