Does anyone know if there is a way to do a reverse lookup on a phone number in Australia?


Hi Jude,

I might be wrong, but I have always thought this to be a serious invasion of privacy

A telephone number and address details " advertised " in a PUBLIC document
can hardly be classed as PRIVATE ........

and whether it is accessed via number , name or address details is irrelevant .

What is " a serious invasion of privacy " is the release into the PUBLIC ARENA the details of any Phone service that the owner has contracted as a " Silent number ".

Hi Bob,
Although my phone number is listed in the telephone book, I do not want everyone I give that number to to have access to my address.

For example, I have my phone number marked on my house keys, so that if they are lost the finder can call me. I don't want anyone finding the keys to have free access to my house to take what they like!

Regards,

John Taylor
