Protect Your Cell Phone Number
Your cell phone number is already protected since the FTC prohibits telemarketers to use automated dialers to call your cell phone. In case you are worried that telemarketers can call you in person (instead of through automated dialers), you can register your cell phone with the National Do Not Call Registry like you do with your home phone.

Protect Your Fax Number
Marketers cannot fax to you unless you have given prior permission or if they have a business relationship with you. However calling and asking if you are open for business might constitute a "business relationship". The Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005 now requires marketers to include a method for you to opt out.
