Controversial Cell Phone Number Directory Closes Up Shop

I have nothing to hide

this is so strange, i just look in the white pages of aol.com listings, and there was my home phone, address, and yes my cell phone number. i hit the roof, and called aol. com, and told them they had no right to publish my cell number to anyone! they quickly told me how to remove it!! kinda late for that........i have no idea how long it had been published for all to see??? it's now removed...........check the white pages people, and be sure your cell is not listed!!!!!

Uh GBO, and major LOL, uh FOLKS, YOUR PRIVATE INFO IS SOLD over and over and over again, You give out your SS# to get even ELECTRIC UTILITY SERVICE, or at the Doctors office or CC or , well you name it, your SS# is REQUIRED from kindergarten or preschool enrollment on thru ANY and ALL "normal" activities that one engages in and OH, Here in California, was standard operating "service" of the state govt. to sell DRIVERS LICENSE LISTS and don't forget your banker...THERE IS NO PRIVACY, google or dogpile yourself and discover what IS available for starters, but there are far more information services available as well that are used and abused all along the way and far too late to close the door on it, no stuffing back into a bottle or box !!!

I have used sites like this, Always a good thing to have when you know your spouse is cheating on you, and you just don't know who is calling the house and hanging up when you answer. Let me just say, i found out who and where he lived.

OK guys, now that the dumbest idea ever has being take care of, lets proceed. Who was the retarded that suggested this idea and the cerebrally decompensated that approved it, because you both are fired!

Thank GOD somebody actually did something!! It's bad enough having your phone number on Google - WITH A MAP TO YOUR HOUSE!!! So much for the "security" warnings to single women told to use their initials instead of full name - you can GOOGLE anything and get it! NOBODY IS SAFE ANYMORE!!!! Take it from somebody who did everything "right" and still got hit by some a-hole company out for the almight dollar.

It is as simple as this. If they've got your cell phone number, all of which are un-posted, then they've invaded your privacy. Now if you posted your cell phone number in public ... (business card, website, yada) and they can prove they pulled it from there ... well, there is room for argument.

GOOGLE YOUR OWN INFO AND SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE!!!

GOOGLE YOUR OWN INFO AND SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE!!!
BE SAFE!

"google" your OWN info! KNOW what others know about you!!! Be safe, please!!!!!

Please--you people are so naive! I bet you are all in favor of the Patriot Act--which is far more invasive than this! I do not think that cell numbers are any more private than land line numbers. You should be able to get an "unlisted" number just as with landline. Again, however, with technology and the way the laws are now-"they" can get any information, any time anywhere!

Will say it again - "google" your OWN info and see what others know about you. PLEASE be safe! My name is not listed in phone book, but it IS in google! Google gives maps to your house!

HIPPA is the privacy act for medical/dental fields
we need something like that in other fields as well

It is HIPAA--and we do have similar regulations. HIPAA is based on FERPA which covers schools and college records. We also have Code of Ethics in many fields that speak to confidentiality and privacy. What we need is a new fresh adminstration who believes in the Constitution and puts its citizens and needs and their rights(including privacy) first.

To Joe who said: companies selling or distributing personal information need to be shut down permanently. So Joe that would include almost all newspapers and magazines,all television stations, stores, medical providers, law enforcement, kids/adult sports leagues, fantasy sports leagues, courts, real estate companies, banks, the Federal government, all state, county, city, town, village courts, telephone directories, telephone information, all most any and all websites,youtube,facebook,myspace,man I could go on forever. Your statement is so absurd it's laughable. For instance this very site you posted on. You provided personal information, your e-mail address, just to post your comments. Duh. Everytime you swipe your bonus card at the grocery store they are tracking your spending habits and then they send you coupons for things you like to buy. What if you were in an accident and you, your insurance company or your attorney needed a copy of the accident report. What if you were being sued and you wanted to see if the person suing you is a career claims scam artist. What if you needed to locate a witness, an heir, a donor, a candidate for a position at your company,a person/friend family member you lost touch with. What if you needed to check the background of, a person you were going to hire as a healthcare worker, a teacher,a nanny, a person running for political office or the next police chief. The whole economy and American way of life depends on a free flow of information. You show me where in the Constitution you are guaranteed privacy. If you want privacy you better move to an island with no communication, TV,Phones, internet etc. The popularity of sites like youtube, myspace and facebook and television shows like Survivor, Big Brother and American Idol would certainly indicate the last thing on most American's minds is privacy. You can't have it all junior. Technology is all about information. Try the best you can to keep your info. private and don't just plop it out there is about the best you can do, and go on and worry about something else.
