Email Regarding Telemarketers Contacting Wireless Phones is a Hoax
"According to regulators and consumer groups, emails warning consumers that telemarketers will soon start calling wireless phones are either part of a hoax or a misunderstanding by those who sent the messages. It is illegal to make sales pitches to wireless phones using automatic dialers, which is how telemarketing calls are placed. The emails appear to stem from plans by wireless carriers to launch a wireless 411 service for wireless phone numbers. The wireless 411 service would only include the phone numbers of subscribers who opt-in to the service and those phone numbers would not be shared with telemarketers. (Source: USA Today)"
