Unfortunately, that's not necessarily true. If the number isn't on the list, then it's not protected, whether its a cell phone or not. Most telemarketers and list brokers don't have the ability to differentiate between cell and land lines.
I have to admit, I'm a little torn on this issue. On one hand, it's a bit inconvenient to have to re-up every 5 years, but on the other I see where numbers shouldn't be permanently parked.
And BOR, the "40 Year Old Virgin" referrence involves the title character calling a woman to ask her out, chickening out and pretending to be a telemarketers and her telling him to basically go fuck himself.
It's a lot funnier than I make it out to be, and you should check the movie out some time.
