It doesn't seem to work for Canadian phone numbers.

All I have to say is, Those maps they provide are HORRIBLY inaccurate. They listed my dad as living on the extrem east of Battle Ground when in fact he lives near I-5 to the west.

The same goes for all the other maps they provided. They were off significantly. They do this so you don't enter a phone number then get the map and drive to the persons house and do something bad to them.

Think of it, if you could get the address for all of the telomarketors and collection companies that randomly call you, wouldn't you under a pshcotic break, go after them?

Doesn't work for Ireland either. But even if you have an unlisted number, the number of people who'd have access to where you live is still pretty long. Phone companies, gas, electricity, banks, libraries, airlines (if you've ever flown), and even taxi companies. Just found out if you book a taxi most companies will keep your details on file. Which was kinda freaky coz I rang a taxi from home yesterday, and the little recording voice came on with the usual "Thank you for calling..." then said "Press 1 to book a cab, press 2 for..." So I pressed 1, thinking I'd get put through to an operator. Instead, the same voice said, "Thank you, Tim, a taxi is now on it's way to [my address] now, and should arrive in 10minutes." Even stranger, 15mins later, my mobile phone rang and the little voice said, "You taxi is waiting outside." Freaky. Just plain freaky.

Add that to the reasons to own a gun.

Why would I want to shoot my taxi driver?

No, you want to shoot the guy who hacked into the taxicab company and is coming for revenge because you stepped on his sandwich in third grade.
