Should cell phone numbers be apart of the "do not call list"?

Usually around January or June, people who have email accounts will start seeing a lot of emails pertaining to getting cell phone numbers registered with the "do not call list" that specifies that telemarketers cannot use that specific number to call about promotions, sales, or anything of the like. These emails are a false representation of a national registry that has been created by the main cellular service providers such as Alltel, AT&T, Cingular, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Nextel. This registry was formed due to the fact that there are so many people getting rid of their land line phones and just using their cellular phones. 
 

This registry is a database of all the cell phone numbers and their users that can be accessed for directory assistance customers who are in the need of finding someone's phone number when they do not have a land line phone but only use their cell phone for communication purposes. The main point that has been constrewed is the fact that this registry is on a voluntary basis only and cellular phone numbers are not just put on it. The cellular customer has to actually request their number put into the registry.

If you don't want your cell phone numbers in the registry, then that is your right and you don't have to have it listed. These emails state that you have until a certain date to register your cell phone number with the "do not call list" or else telemarketers will be calling your cell phone and racking up your cell phone bill because you will have to pay for these calls. This is false information that has been stuck into these emails and this information should just be disregarded and deleted. You can call your cellular service provider to find out this information for yourself.´ 

When you signed up for the service of your cellular phone, there is a privacy act that states that the cellular service cannot give out your information to anyone without your consent which keeps your information private unless you state otherwise so there are no worries when it comes to the emails that usually go around every year. It's really just one more way for some individuals to start a major hype with cell phone numbers and get the public scurrying around worried about their information getting out to the telemarketing companies that they do not want calling on their cell phones.
