Reverse cell phone lookup has only added further discomfort to our already growing discomfort regarding our privacy. These days the only thing you have to do is to type in the number in one of many free internet reverse phone lookup services and provided that the number in question is not unlisted, you will have the persons name, address and many other personal information right before you.
So how can you protect yourself?
1. Always, always have all your phone numbers unlisted. Provide your phone number only on a need to know basis, to your family and close friends.
Even if someone wants to pay for that information, it will be very hard to obtain your personal information in this way, if your phones are unlisted.
This should be your first line of defense, and in case that your number is already listed ask your service provider to change it, and then have it unlisted.
