I agree--I got my T and marriage counselor's cell numbers the same way, though they never blocked it/listed it as private when they called. Eventually I mentioned to my T that I had her cell number but didn't know if it was OK to call her there. She was like, "Don't call just to chat, but it's fine to use it." Hm, I guess I didn't officially ask MC, but just texted him at one point. He wrote back, so I assumed it was OK. We did talk about it at some point, and he said calling/texting his cell was fine, too.
And I'd save the number somewhere--if you feel weird keeping it in your phone, write it down and stash it somewhere. Just in case.
