Re: OT: google and your phone number
Doesn't seem to work very well.
Great Cables . COM's phone number came up as something else. My federal work number didn't come up at all. My home number didn't come up and neither did my friend's. As to the last two, I'm thinking having an unlisted number might stop it from showing.

Re: OT: google and your phone number
I should point out that the maps they provide are HORRIBLY in accurate. Out of 10 numbers, 6 were hits, and of those 6 not one of the maps was correct.
They do this for a reason.

Re: OT: google and your phone number
I think its only as accurate as the white pages are. It just takes the white-page listing and feeds the address it gives to a standard online mapping site like MapQuest (which I use A LOT)
Im abit surprised that it didnt work for me, and disappointed also. I guess its no big deal since my phone number, address, and a ton of info have been on the net for years.

Re: OT: google and your phone number
It doesn't seem to work for Canadian phone numbers.

Re: OT: google and your phone number
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?
