I don't know why it would be illegal for anyone to call your cell, it's a phone just like any other. They just passed a new thing a couple months back that, to my understanding anyway, pretty much made cell phones and home phones equal, in fact it's main thing was to allow people to transfer their home numbers to their cell which then in effect became their home phone. I got a mailing from the phone company shortly after this thing was passed telling that if you did this then they would no longer guarantee 911 locater service for you. That makes sense since they would never be able to tell whee you actually were. Another thing that may be happening is that some of these places use random number dialers.

We still get a few every now and then, and 98% of them when asked just how the He-- did they get this number that's what they tell us.......It's like anything else in the world nowdays no information is truely personal or private anymore except for the secrets you keep to yourself, and I wonder sometimes how long til they figure out how to read them too......
