I tried this with my number and a few others I knew by heart - and sure enough - there they were - along with the name, address and also you can click on "mapquest" and it shows you exactly where that phone is located.
I found this very interesting – TELEPHONE NUMBERS
Everyone should be aware of this!
Google.com has implemented a new feature wherein you can type someone's telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and then you will be given a map to their house.
Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. Before forwarding this, I tested it by typing my telephone number in google.com. My address came up, and when I clicked on the MapQuest link, it actually mapped out where I live. Quite scary.
Please look up your own number.
Read below for details.
Think about it--if a child, ANYONE gives out his/her phone number, someone can actually now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming.
In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: http://www.google.com/ Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e.555-555-1212) and hit enter.
If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on phonebook results link above your phone number and scroll down. I removed my name, but it takes 48-hours.
If you are unlisted in the phone book, you might not be in there, but it is a good idea just to check.
If your number does come up if you hit map, it will show you a direct map to your house.
You might want to pass this on to friends and family.
