I'm not very knowledgable about the people searches, where the info. comes from. Does it come from public landline phone records? I was curious if I could find myself on whitepages.com or pipl.com. I have lived in the same home since 1996 and had a landline up until about 2 yrs. ago when it was disconnected because I got satellite internet and we have cell phones so there was no need to pay for the landline. The whole time I had the same phone number and it was private. I couldn't find myself on the searches. Could this be the reason? Does it just go by the phone or other utilities? I have other utilities in my name. Could this be the reason Whisp. can't find an address in CC for T and C? Maybe they didn't have a landline phone.
Twall--yes all those white pages listings come from the phone directories. This is one thing I DO know, having worked for a phone company for 24 years LOL. If you have an unlisted number, you won't show up. Or if you have no landline--same thing. Phone companies sell those listings to the directory companies and they in turn sell them to websites like white pages.
