at least they are not entirely accurate, i have lived in my apartment for nearly 2 years and when iI typed in my phone number, it gave me an address close to me (about 5 miles) but not mine, im going to experiment with other numbers.

I would not loose any sleep over this. It's not really acurate. If you are getting an Ulcer over this, just have your number changed to not listed or private and it shouldn't show up in Google.

Not sure where you are supposed to enter your phone number, but mine did not come up. I put it in the search field in google.

I tried it and it came up right where I live - maybe because we have been here for 11 years -- kind of scary.

If your phone number is in the white pages. Your address is right there anyways. Anyone could go to Mapquest and get detailed directions to your house. If I had your address I could find it with my GPS finder, it will Live direct me right to your driveway. Is supposed to be the fringe benefits of technology today. Sort of scary, but is cool if you need it for a good reason
