I think I've heard that companies can get in trouble if they are bugging you on your cell phone.
Not here in Australia, we are getting a lot of spam and SMS calls that cost $3.00 each way if you get caught up in it! If they get your number then you are can get it, they are selling the information on to others. Its a big problem, one high school got caught up in it and it had cost the students over $20000 in 8 hours in total up until when principal found out about it! It was something about your past life? It was on the News here.
