Did you know that your phone number may be listed in Google. If it is then anyone can find out where you live with map quest.
Google has a feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and be given the person's name and address. If you hit Mapquest, you will get directions to the person's house.
This is dangerous because if your child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives.
I tested a few Canadian numbers and noted it did not work, but it did work with a US number I tested.
This is really dangerous.
According to a blogging friend of mine, you can block your number by clicking on your telephone
number and then click on the Removal Form. Removal takes 48-hours.

Yes it is very dangerous I tried mine but I guess Ed has protected our line with one of his hair brainded inventions but this is scary and dangerous that someone can get your address

I just checked and no my phone number is not listed. Actually it is an unlisted number with my phone company for that reason.
