It doesn't hurt to register all of your numbers, but it won't make much
difference with cell phones.

The last two times I have activated new cell phone numbers, I started
immediately getting telemarketing calls. Just a few weeks ago I activated a new
GO phone for my father, the next day he had dozens of text messages waiting.
Fortunately, he has no idea how to retrieve a text message...
