"Do Not Call" list & Mobile phones

You may have seen a copy of this recently:
In a few weeks, cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls on cell phones. Call this number from your cell phone 888-382-1222. It is the national Do Not Call list. It blocks your number for 5 years. Please pass on, Here is online form ...
The "Do Not Call" list & its website/phone# are legit, and they will register mobile numbers as well as land lines. However, it's apparently not imminent that there will be any release of mobile numbers; some debunking by: truthorfiction snopes but still a good idea to get on the "Do Not Call" list - as long as you trust the government to manage it well... (Thanks to my Dad for a pointer.)
