I am usually really cautious when giving out my phone number... I heard people can track you/look up your information just by your cell phone number. 0.0

I usually get other people's numbers. When I contact them, they have my number.

I didn't know people were this paranoid about giving away phone numbers.

Me either.

I give it out for work and people I work with give it out. I never answer the damn thing though. People who actually know me know that a text or email is the only way to make sure you get me.

here's the secret. when you meet a girl just ask her for her phone number asap. Most girls will either be too nice to say no so they'll give you their number. Or two they'll give you a fake number.

what you can do is give out a google voice number and filter everything.

You have heard that have you? How exactly is that done? Is there a website I can go to? Do tell.

I am not sure.. I haven't been stalking people of sorts.. but I am just guessing since your phone number is tied to your personal information. People with some connections can just look it up I supposed.

Guessed I am just being overly paranoid though...

Asked someone for their number in college once.



It went to a Chinese takeout place in town. :(

It's on my website...Call me maybe. ;):cool::sneaky:

I rarely give my number to people. but if they find it more power to them. I pretty much always let calls go to voicemail.

As far as the information thing, it doesn't seem like much information can be obtained about a person from a cell phone number. Much less so than a regular landline number. For example, if you Google a cell phone number you'll be hard-pressed to find a person's name associated with it. It also usually lists the wrong city/town. You can't really get any usable info from a cell number without paying for it.

Email only. People tend to abuse it less.

When I give out my number I get 50 calls and 200 texts before one whole day passes. Its sick.

People are fucking addicted or something. I must be very uncool by comparison.

Yeah I give it out, don't really give a crap. I don't get any telemarketing calls so that's all that matters.
