It is, indeed, illegal for telemarketers to call wireless phones, according to the LA Times. That is a powerful incentive for me to go wireless-only. I had never thought about the listing of wireless numbers. That is the otherside of spam issue. I don't think caller-pays is a big issue. I have the first Q phone from Sprint. It gives caller-ID and the first incoming minute free. If I don't recognise the caller i don't need to take the call. If I do take the call, I have a minute to decide whether I want to pay for it. In countries where there is "caller pays", I think the caller can identify from the number prefix that the number is wireless and will cost more. That will reduce the efficiency of assigning numbers.
