It may be illegal for them to call cell phones, but it happens.  This past 
week, I started getting calls on my cell from an 800 number about every 20 
minutes during the day.  Phone would ring, but nobody was there.  This was 
especially annoying while I was attending a training session.

I called the number and it was one of those boiler-room outfits offering 
student loan consolidation (and I have never had a student loan).  It took a 
couple of calls to get them to leave me alone.

I have seen similar instances where telemarketers will repeatedly dial ISDN 
numbers.
