Question ALL Cell Phone numbers made PUBLIC???

Has anyone heard that starting tomorrow that all cell phone numbers are going to be made public? I tried looking up any information about this but couldn't find anything. But, just incase I did register my cell phone number on the national Do Not Call List. Incase anyone else is interested you can call 1 888 382 1222 & register your cell phone. Make sure you call from the cell phone you want to register for the Do Not Call List or register online at http://www.donotcall.gov. I figured better safe than sorry; I can't stand those telemarketers, especially when you just sit down to eat, &, WHAM!, the phone rings - uggh!

That "Snopes" post was from the year 2006. I checked this out befor I posted my message. But just to let everyone know, my aunt in Florida, just called her cell phone company which is VERIZON, to verify this, & they told her "YES, CELL PHONE NUMBERS ARE GOING PUBLIC TOMORROW". Its up to you weather or not you want to call & register. I figured I'd just put it out there.

That's the nature of email hoaxes. This circulated heavily a few years ago and the dates have just been changed and it has been circulated again.

How about an FTC link: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2006/01/dnccellphones.shtm

You could also google "cell numbers made public" and every result points to this being a hoax.
