My aunt recently sent out one of those emails warning that US cell phone numbers are becoming public soon. This might be just a rumor (verification, anyone?) but it never hurts to visit donotcall.gov -- the US government's do not call registry -- to block spammers from calling your phone. After you've been registered for a month, you can also use the site to complain about unwanted calls: https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2

Not sure if there is an equivalent resource for other countries, but I think it's a great service for Americans.
