Ccincy: When I logged into FB afew mintues ago I found a message from one of my friends saying that Eveyones phone number is being published.

If you click on Account then Edit Friends and then on the left side of your screen and click Phonebook.Thank goodness mines unlisted.

Be careful peeps, ''nothing'' is totaly private on FB!!! It's VERY unsecured and a very dodgy site to say the least. Good luck.

ali110: Exactly ,it doesnt make sense to share Number on the front page ,If we need to give number we can give by personal email



True.Only if it's someone we know we can really and truly trust with that info.

MizKyGal: Mine's on there so I can post via my cell phone...a lot of people use only cell phones today rather than a desktop or laptop



Did you know that even telemarketers can gain access to your cellphone number? At least that's what I was told anyway.

I don't have a clue.But if a landline phone number comes across my caller id I can google for it and it'll show to where that number came from.It will also show me if it's some kind of a scam.

I think the cell numbers will only give the area of the place of origin of the phone like the store that is handling your contract, but not sure

That's what I thought...I NEVER give my home/landline number, so I think it's safe....for today anyway. Who knows what tomorrow may bring professor

thumbs up Most free websites will contract to give out information including photos, i have found my photo on web searches also my family, home values, square feet of property, how many acres, names of neighbors, And people whine because people chose not to post a photo, i would say they are the smart ones. JMHO
