Couldn't I tell the phone company to NOT include my profile in the phone book / directory they publish? I remember doing something like that with SBC - sons of you-know-what, they definitely sell out that info judging from number of crap calls I got when I was with them.

You can chose if you profile is indexable or not.

Not sure if this is still the case, but at one point you had to pay $1 a month for that privilege of having an unlisted number. Crazy!
