Remove Your Phone Number From Google Phonebook
If you don't want Google's information tentacles posting your phone number and address on the internet, you may want to remove it from their directory.
It's but one of a myriad of reverse-phone-number lookup services. If you really want to clean your digits out, follow the links they provide to other similar sites. — BEN POPKEN
This is a test using rich text formatting and html links. It's the generic "company" ad that should appear on all posts with the Company category if they don't have an ad attached to a specific company.

@structuralpoke: Per http://www.oldskoolphreak.com/tfiles/phreak/jenny07.txt -- it goes "ring ring ring ring (After about 10 rings or so it asked for a security code)"

See, here's my concern. I fill out the nice easy form and ask to be removed, right? But then, once I've done that, I've just *given* them my information (and now they know it's correct, not just something that was collected from "telephone directories and other public records available elsewhere on the web"). Seriously. They say they'll call you to confirm it, but then they don't say that they will protect said information.
Same concern as QuirkyRachel... especially since I can't figure out if/where I'm actually listed?
I tried looking around for "Google Phonebook" - and it *looks* like you should just be able to put in either a phone number, or a name/city combo, to get the info (enter it into the regular google search box) - but I don't come up on either (and least not yet!)
Sadly, plenty of other sites apparently have already uploaded the local phonebooks plus whatever else they can get their hands on, and there doesn't seem to be any way to get unlisted from those :(
Blech.



Good find.
