Well, when I first added my phone number to the list it was a landline
at my house. I have since transferred that number to a cell phone.
I've also "re-entered" the number in the Do Not Call list since then,
but it did not ask what kind of phone it was. I also entered my
mother's phone number for her while I was there. She's 92 and doesn't
really need the aggravation.
