Phone number? Heck if you know their first name, city of residence, and approximate age that's already enough in most cases.

- alkonaut 3y agoDidn't most countries have phone books where peoples names, phone numbers and some times address would be listed? And weren't those phone books usually quite complete? Were they opt in then so that phone book sales people asked you to list your number? (Swedish phonebooks were opt-out). Were you offered any kind of compensation then for allowing your number/address to be listed there?
- lou1306 3y agoLet me be clear. These websites list your full name, date of birth, main address (including the exact apartment number if you live in a flat), your flatmates if any, the size of your apartment, and the average salary in your neighbourhood. Comparing this to a phonebook entry is a bit of a stretch. Also, obviously, you only appeared in the phonebook if you had a landline.
