In Australia, phone directories don't generally include mobile phone numbers, and with the massive shift from landline phones to mobile phones over the past decade, this means many people are completely gone from the phone directory. I suspect it may be a similar situation in other countries - the phone directory still exists, but is increasingly useless. The view of the sensitivity of phone numbers and home address as PII has changed with this trend too.
