Is there a cell phone directory?  

I have friends who decide it is cheaper to have a cell than a regular phone. Then I can't call them. When we run into each other, I might think to ask them or they might think to give it to me, but often not. Then they ask me why I didn't call them when such and such happened, it's very frustrating. I wouldn't spam anyone, I don't even know how and I don't want to know how.

At any rate, I had to call to be put on a do not call list for cell phones, so I would think there is either a directory or a random number generator.

I had to call to be placed on a do not call list or businesses would be calling me right and left. So either they are using a random dial generator and someone has told them all the first 3 digits for the cell phones or something. Thanks and take care.

I don't know, I get a lot of calls from people I don't know like businesses and things people are trying to sell me, so I don't know it's private. I had to call and be put on a do not call list for cell phones.

I guess your number has been spread out to other business company.

Then they shuold't complain when I don't call.

i was told that if you do business with one company, anyone they put you on a list that they sell to other companies, that is how your name and number spread from one company or another. They said on their small print that they won't do it but most don't follow that rule. If there is money in it for them they will do it. You are right I go through the same thing, some don't keep the same cell phone and alwaays changing, and hard to keep up with those, so unless they give you the number, you can't get it. There is reverse lookup that will tell you where the number originates from but not who it is listed to, just cell in whatever place the provider is. Not heard of a directory for cells.

Maybe

Yep!

Yes, I called that number. I still seem to be getting some cell phone calls.

You're probably right, but I was just hoping.

I do get annoyed from some phone calls but I do thing they do get the number from free stuff that I do order online.
They do share the number with other companies.
