Nope, it's absolutely NOT true. It is an urban legend that has been around for a while. My favorite place to check things like this is:
www.snopes.com
A link to your "legend":

Please do everyone a favor and check snopes before passing on information you get from "a reliable source"... (not directed at you personally Dave)

I haven't.
These days, I'm gunshy.
It's probably a number to be added to a do call list.

Thanks Gary.
I thought about checking that out, but had forgotten the (snopes) web site.
I'll bookmark that one.

This is NOT true! For reference, here is the link to the FTC website concerning the email:

I'm with Cingular, which is now AT&T.
Their occasional spam text messages on my phone are bad enough, but I'm not ready for a deluge of telemarketers.

Call you cell phone company and ask them. I mean who better would know the truth? Or so we would hope.

You're kidding, right? I mean, you have called customer service before, haven't you?

Actually I have, and when I get no help, I escalate the call, and if I still get no help I escalate again, and again and again, until I DO get help.
I usually get help B-)

and the problem with most of those customer service centers is that the escalator, or elevator, doesn't reach the top floor...

David:
I have been using the do not call list for quite a long time now for all my phones and it works quite well. I can't attest to the effectiveness with my cell, which is my primary business phone, but it's rare when I get calls or even the annoying faxes I used to get.
