I have gotten several spam calls on my cell phone. I thought this was outright illegal. But of course, they do not leave company information, only a callback number (and sometimes not even that) which would only serve to verify my phone number. Any suggestions? I didn't read the whole thread, so apologies if this has already been addressed.

After I got a new cell phone number recently I began receiving many spam SMS
messages.  I listed my cell number with the Do Not Call registry and the
messages soon stopped.

Urban Legend!

This is an Internet rumor that rears its ugly head every few months.

It's a good idea to register your LAND LINE with the do not call registry if
you haven't already, but it is unnecessary for cell phones.
