You may have gotten an e-mail saying if you don't act soon, telemarketers will get your cell phone number, but Whitney Watson with the Attorney General's office says that e-mail just isn't true.

"What is actually going to happen is five of the six major cell phone carriers have agreed to co-op per say, and they'll actually do a 411 directory," said Watson.

What that means is cell phone users, if they want to, can allow their cell phone number to be included in a special 411 registry of cell phone numbers; that registry can only be accessed by calling 411 and paying a fee.

It's all up to you. You will have to contact your wireless carrier and tell them you want to be in the registry. Does that mean telemarketers can get access to your number and call your cell phone?

"It's just not likely that a company soliciting for business is going to pay the fee to call and get the phone number," said Watson.

Congress is looking at several bills that would keep telemarketers from getting access to mobile phone numbers. Wireless 411 starts this spring.
