I've heard through the grapevine that it is illegal in the US (ie,
federally) to telemarket to cell phones(on the same logic that makes it
illegal to send spam-faxes, it consumes the receiver's resouces, and
probably just about as effective).

Google, sadly, does little to resolve the issue, since the internet
contradicts itself a good bit on this particular topic(as it is wont to
do).

Anyone know for certain?
