..... can someone please do some investigation on me. Instead of calling our business line people are calling my personal number.

?
EDIT: Seems it's even in the WHOIS still.
I always get annoyed when people call me. Don't they know these devices only support this "phone" feature for the same reason we kept floppy drives around for far too long? Talking is overrated.
(903) 746-4415 is the number I'm seeing in the whois.
That whois information there is google cache and will be removed soon right? Surely they are getting the info somewhere else.
I sense sarcasm.
Ask them politely
You'd think so, but the "phone" app is actually my least favorite one
Right, seems the site I linked did some failing number parsing. Seems to have the same number.
The information on the site I linked comes straight from the WHOIS. The problem is that you didn't give your personal number, so I have no idea if the number in your WHOIS is a personal or a company number. Seemed like a personal number because of the associated address.
I don't mind if people call me, but my business number is there for a buffer. Maybe I'm asleep and that's why business phone isn't getting answered.... I don't want them calling me when I'm asleep.
I had to unfriend everyone on facebook because the first time there was an issue they were messaging me on facebook instead of opening a ticket.
No the site you linked actually has my personal number, the 746 is an old number.
I see, then it's probably old WHOIS data. It'll take a while for it to vanish from all the online WHOIS services.
Also, removed number and URL from my post.
Ahh ok gotcha.
Also if you have ever posted it, which you have, then there are sites that index that stuff and keep it. Many agencies will look it up for people also for a minimal fee.
I've posted my number? It was in whois, but do other sites keep that info?
Sites like DomainTools will, but they charge for it. I strongly doubt someone is going to pay DomainTools to get your personal number, unless you really piss someone off.
Ahh ok I see.
903-590-xxxx is your personal #?
There are some free services to see prior domain history, it's not as extensive as DomainTools but it frequently does the job for me.
I've got some domains where I enabled privacy but it seems the registrar pushed the domain through with my original details first then updated it with the whois privacy, as a result you can see the original information with sites like this.
I recommend not worrying too much about who has your number, and just set up your phone to ignore calls from unknown numbers between certain hours. There are plenty of apps that do that. Sure, you shouldn't HAVE to do that, but once your number is out there, it's out there, and someone determined enough WILL find it.
Tip: If you've entered it on internet, it can be found. Somehow.
LOL This thread reminds me, I just got a random voice message from some guy today on google voice.
"Hi Mike, This is John with Brian homes. Please call me at (703) 598-3128. Thank you, bye, bye."
My name isn't even mike, lol. Was pretty funny
Google giving our voice phone numbers to advertisers? Bastards!
I received a new cell number the other day and received a text that I had won a target gift card twenty minutes later. Someone received a phone call soon after a rather nasty one. Namely my cell company.
@AuroraZ
Probably since your phonecompany reused your number.
I have accidently called a guy at Dell when I was looking for someone else on another company. Calling the number listed for the guy I was looking for.
No it is not.
@Corey - it's already out there - your best option is to change your personal number and never give it out to anyone but your family/friends/etc contacts.
Then use a google voice number for any online service you sign up for to prevent marketing/potential leaks.
Then use your business number strictly for your business.
If anyone wants a british number, going to their Skype, Contact me
They did just kind of cheesed me off was all. I had them block the number for good.
Can't you do that already?
Skype Prices = Expensive
About $9 pm, I can do them for about Half
Meh, leave that for the Cess Pit. I wouldn't trust you to be honest, you've hardly just joined the forums.
