The Washington Post reported last week that an e-mail chain circulating claims all wireless phone numbers will soon be made public to telemarketing firms.

According to industry and government officials this is completely false. There is no list of wireless phone numbers being turned over to telemarketers. Additionally, telemarketers are barred from calling wireless phones. According to telemarketing officials, companies review their lists twice a month to remove any wireless phone numbers, under the Federal Communications Commission's rules.
