This type of email makes its round every so often.
Here is the email:
If you have a cell phone, remember to make your call with it…
Cell phone numbers go public next month: All cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls. You will be charged for these calls. To prevent this, call 1-888-382-1222, the National Do Not Call List. It blocks your number for 5 (five) years. You must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different number.
Help others by passing this on to all friends. It takes about 20 seconds.
A good idea but not necessary. Read about it from the FCC.

Originally, phone numbers remained on the registry for a period of five years, but are now permanent due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, effective February 2008.
