That's useful information. But even Google points out that you are only removing your listing from their search engine.

Yea, I had to us AT&Ts reverse lookup when I first got internet access in '97 to check our technicians cell phone bills to find if they were spending company cell phone minutes and company time on personnal calls .
I can say though, if your unlisted it won't show. I searched my new number that I've had for a year now and left unlisted and it didn't show but my old number did. __________________ Freedom needs a soldier A nameless faceless one A young girl's lover A baby's father Some mother's son |
