Either you filled out something with that number by mistake or someone is playing a joke on you by giving them your number.
But to get rid of them simply tell them to take your name off whatever list they have the next time they call, then just hope they actually listen.

yea the whole thing about solicitors being allowed to call cell phones is all a rumor. in fact the gov't released a campaign to get cell phone users to stop signing their cell phones onto the do not call lists because it was overloading things (the original intention of the rumor was to overload the do not call list and make it ineffective)
So if they call tell them its a cellphone, and as a safety factor dont ever use your cell phone on any form of paper form or online form.

The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at home. Most telemarketers should not call your number once it has been on the registry for 31 days. If they do, you can file a complaint at this Website. You can register your home or mobile phone for free. Your registration will be effective for five years.
