Cellphone 411 Directory Still on Track

Telemarketers will have a new way to reach out and touch potential customers with the help of a new cellphone 411. Most cellphone users have a good idea how to make sure that friends, colleagues, and family know how to give them a call if they need them, so why is there a need for a 411 directory. Could it be that more and more Americans are using cellphones for all of their telecommunication needs? Either way no one is asking cellphone users whether they think that this is a good idea or not.
