Do with this what you will, but I checked and it does provide the information -- my name and address were there, but the map links to my house were wrong.

If you go to www.google.com and type in your telephone number it will actually pull up your address and directions to your house and business.

If you go to www.google.com and type in your telephone number it will actually pull up your address and directions to your house and business.

There is a way to have your number removed. Please read below. Many people are unaware of this situation.

Go to www.google.com then type in your phone number (including area code) and click on Google Search. If your phone number is listed, it will show your phone #, name and address and give you two map options: Yahoo and MapQuest. Check it out and see how accurate the map is to your home.

Any person wishing to discover the physical location of a phone number, be it a home or business address, could use this feature to locate a physical street address, and receive directions on how to get there from anywhere in the country. In this age of internet communications we all know the dangers of this -- for adults and CHILDREN!

People you do not even know will not only have your name and phone number but they will also have complete and accurate directions to your home.


Google has made available an option that will allow anyone to REMOVE their telephone number from the database that is linked to the mapping feature.

You will first need to check if your number is listed in this manner by attempting a search-entering your full telephone with area code. If the number appears in the mapping database, an icon resembling a telephone will appear next to and to the “left” of the results.

Clicking on this icon will take you to a page containing a description of the service. Scroll down to about the third page and look for the heading “PHONE BOOK”. Then scroll down the last paragraph --- “To Have your residential or business phone -----etc.” click on the words, “CLICK HERE and you will be linked to a form to use to request your number be removed from the database.

So far unlisted numbers and cell phone numbers, do not show up on the Google Site.

PLEASE, TAKE A MOMENT TO CHECK YOUR OWN PHONE NUMBERS & FORWARD THIS ON TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS - YOUR LOVED ONES WILL NOT MIND GETTING THIS EMAIL!


Like I said, do with this what you will. Delete it if you feel you need to, but I thought it might be worthwhile.
many other sites have this already set-up for years. Infospace, etc. Public info is public domain, sadly. And, in many case, private info sometimes, too.
You're right, I forgot about that. I always assumed that with the sites like infospace, etc, you had to put YOURSELF on the list...it wasn't automatic.
my number doesn't come up in google. Tongue
nobody wanted to call you anyway Rolleyes
You just have to call the prison for me, Ill call you back.....collect.
man, save a buck or two...

C-A-L-L A-T-T.


and by the way, sites having your info like that when you never signed up for such a thing, to have your info available....those sites should be illegal. Or, the least they could do is notify you that your info IS available on thier website and should offer/ask if you'd like that info to remain there or not.

There are people on in their databases that have no access to the internet...not fair for those folks whose info is "out there" for anyone to see.
What format are you supposed to use to enter your phone number?
555-555-5555
SA - that's fucked up. I keep calling, trying to reach you but, it keeps saying that the number is "not available".














you tease.

Tongue Wink :tumble:
