In recognition of National Cellphone Courtesy Month, Sprint (NYSE: FON) has announced the results of The 2004 Sprint Wireless Courtesy Report, a nationwide survey of wireless etiquette. The findings reveal that the overwhelming majority of Americans say people are less courteous today when using a wireless phone, but no one sees themselves as discourteous.

Mobile numbers to be added to 411
That’s about to change, however. After years of hesitation, cellular providers are getting close to making wireless numbers available to 411 callers.
Although the information service probably won’t be available until next year at the earliest, some details already are clear.
The centralized database of wireless numbers would be off limits to telemarketers, and consumers would be able to choose whether to have their numbers listed or unlisted, according to people familiar with the process.
Individual carriers would determine whether subscribers would have to pay to be unlisted.
Other privacy options are possible, too.
