Did you know that you can go to google.com on your computer, type in area code+phone number, and you will be given the name and address that goes with that phone number, unless it is unlisted. This seems dangerous for kids, especially. Warn them!
It seems that if your number is unlisted, your info won't show up when entered. I know it costs extra to have an unlisted number, but being a single mom it's definately worth it!
There are many sites on the Internet which will do this reverse lookup, so I don't understand the hoopla this is creating. We had the same warning at work. You can be removed from google.
There's another site to check for this too...Dogpile.com They have a reverse lookup for phone numbers, then displays them complete with name, address, and a map. You can have it deleted, but check back often. They seem to take their time deleting information. Also, once it's deleted (I had to get after them with a few follow up emails to finally get my information deleted), continue to check up on them. My information was deleted a year or so ago, and I checked again, and it was back.
