Cellular Telephone Numbers

There are fewer cellular number directories than landline directories. There is no official White Pages style of phonebook for cellular numbers. That does not mean that the numbers are private. Many companies are attempting to create databases of cellular numbers and make them available to the masses. There are several methods they use to collect your number.

All of these databases rely on someone supplying a cellular number to them. Usually, this is you. When you use your cellular number as a contact for anything official, you take the chance of this number becoming public information. For example, when you sign up to win the new car at the mall and supply your name, number, and address, that information gets added to a large database. When you locate and print online coupons, you are often required to provide your personal information including a telephone number. This content also gets added to various databases. The advancements in technology allow for immediate identification of a telephone number to determine if it is a landline or cellular number. This identification can also be added to the database. A later chapter will discuss how you should protect this information in the future. Next are the methods for removing your cellular number from databases.
