The instructions say it is not for cell phones because it is already illegal to make unsolicited telemarketing calls to cell phones, so theoretically it should not be necessary to register them. But we all know that that is not the case in real life. Registering your cell phone on the regular do not call list will cut down on some of the calls. But there is nothing that will eliminate the calls from the slimey companies who don't care about the law.
No. This is a wise tale started by e-mail chain letters. There are no 'master lists'. Each carrier has the numbers registered, but not centralized.

In order to be off a telemarketing list, you need to register your phone number with the "Do Not Call" list. This is a government service. Once you are on the list, it is illegal for telemarketers to contact you.
No, they are not. And even so, you can add your number to the Do Not Call list at any time. There is no deadline. Read the story at this link: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/cell411.asp
It is not nearly as common as telemarketer calls to landline phones since it is usually illegal for telemarketers to call wireless phone numbers. It does still happen, though users can register their number with the national do-not-call registry.
