If you play at a few shops you're going to get calls when you stop playing, the more books you played at in the past the more calls you'll get.
You can get a Skype number within your area code for next to nothing. Get the number, call book "x" tell them your wife now has your old cell and they can't call it ever again and give them your new "cell" number (works best if you're calling in from the new #). Whenever you sign up at a new place only give this number. This can also be accomplished by purchasing a cheap throw-away phone at your local CVS or Walgreens.
Most people who are sick of the calls just give a bad number, but that can lead to problems, and the book can use this bad info as a breach of contract (based on which book it is this can get ugly). This way if needed you can still call in from the number listed in your account, but 99% of the time the phone is off and not bothering you.
