I work in the industry. This list is for real. There are several telecom providers who have formed a "Consortium" to gather and build a 411 "Information Directory" for cell phones.

**HOWEVER** As others have stated here, this is an OPT-IN list at this time, although the Service Providers that are part of the "Consortium" building this list are indeed giving up your phone numbers. You cannot be called from this list until you "OPT-IN". I'm proud to say the company I work for is not part of the "Consortium" that would entertain the idea of giving up it's customers information. Choose your service provider wisely. They can be your best friend, or you worst enemy. Just think about how little time will pass before this Database is compromised by some hacker. Arrgghhh!
