It doesn't do it with unlisted numbers, you get a map too. I'm not real comfortable with this, but I guess it's no different than the phone book.

Interesting, however you can't just look up someones phone number in a directory, unless you have the database.

In order for someone to find you, they need to know your name.  Phone numbers aren't listed in numerical order.

It should give chicks pause before they give guys their phone number.  In the past a number kept one fairly anonymous.  Now giving out a number could trigger an unwanted visit.

There have been reverse telephone books as long as there have been normal telephone books.  They don't come for free in the mail, but can be purchased at a minimal cost.  They let you look up by phone number and/or address instead of by name.  I used to always have a current one until the internet came along.  Now there is no reason to pay for it.

Huh??? Reverse lookups have been around for many years. They used to print reverse-phone-number phone books, even back before 1990.
