Try this google search

I don't know if this is common knowlege, but I just got creeped out when I found out that if you put your phone number into google it will return your name, address, and a map to your house.

4. A friend here at work got no results, too

But hers is a recent number so maybe the google listings aren't up to date?

8. Reverse directories listing by number are available

from the phone company so, yes, you can look up an name and address given only the phone number.

9. Didn't work for me

Which is odd, because I'm quite sure it used to work for me. A year or so ago.

Now that I think about it, I think google provided an option to "delist" your number. I think I selected that or something, and perhaps that's why it doesn't work for me anymore.

But my memory is hazy.

10. Better yet - google Weapons of Mass Destruction

And btw, google only shows numbers that are listed. My number doesn't show up
