Yes it is. If you follow the link for more information for consumers, you come to an FTC FAQ which states:

What Phone Numbers Can I Register?

Can I register my cell phone on the National Do Not Call Registry?
Yes, you may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry.

You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers don't call consumers on their cell phones without their consent.


You can find this and more at:

There is an official web site where one may register phone numbers for "do not call" to take effect. I do not have it at hand, but I am sure that one is able to "Google" and locate it. I registered our phone numbers there a
couple of years back. I think that it is a government site.
