all telemarketing calls to wireless phones are illegal.

From
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts...ellphones.html

"You may be one of many consumers who have received e-mails saying
you’re about to be assaulted by unwanted telemarketing calls to your
wireless phone. Rest assured that placing telemarketing calls to
wireless phones is -- and always has been -- illegal in most cases.

Why the Confusion?

The confusion seems to stem from recent discussions in the wireless
phone industry about establishing a wireless 411 phone directory, much
like your traditional (wired) 411 phone directory. A number of e-mail
campaigns seem to suggest that if your wireless telephone number is
listed in a wireless 411 directory, it will be available to
telemarketers, and you will start to receive sales calls. In addition,
some of these e-mail campaigns suggest that there is a separate
do-not-call “cell phone registry,” which you must call to have your
wireless phone number covered by the do-not-call rules. This
information is wrong.
