[VoiceOps] Preventing calls to cell phones with guaranteed accuracy

[Carlos Alvarez]

That's all we need to know.  If the number is currently going to a cell
carrier, it gets moved to a manual-dial bucket.  If not, allow it to be
auto-dialed.  That's all.  The regulations are a joke and are just
affecting legit businesses doing actual work.  The spam/scam operators just
ignore it all and can't be found since they are overseas or using overseas
proxies.

I've since also found, from my own research, that there are many reasons
they could still auto-dial a cell phone.  If they have any existing
business with the person, if the person has previously agreed to do phone
surveys, and similar scenarios.  So the only numbers affected are those
that they random-dial or sequential-dial for purposes of polling a random
sampling of people.  This is only a small fraction of their projects.
