Verizon not in big game for cell phone directory

4 Years ago when the big 3 (Sprint, T-Mobile and At&t) decided to go
ahead with a public cell phone directory, Verizon put the foot in the
door. Recently the news about cell phone directory started to
circulate the net again... this time there might be more success.
Although privacy activists are right for the most part.... but in our
mobile phone society when many people don't even have home phones
anymore life without cell phone directory sucks.

There are private directories like they talk in this post
http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=2091491

These often give you inaccurate info though because the cell phone
companies recycle the numbers nowadays and such private paid
directories cannot keep up with updates... as they need to shell out
every time for new info... Anyway, hope Verizon will coopearet this
time better.

Every land line company and their brother sell my number and other personal
data. The last thing I want is my cell phone offered up for someone's
profit. To stop the abuse I'm expected to pay for an unlisted number.

My land line is listed in my great grand father's name on my mother's side.
The minute the caller uses that name I know where they 'found' the number.
