Is there any possible recovery of information of unpublished phone numbers?

[johnjackson]

I am really keen to get the information of unpublished phone numbers for advertising my agency. I want maximum people to be advertised by me for my new agency. Is there any way to get information about them?

You should read the responses to your previous post. The answer is NO, unpublished numbers are unpublished because people don't want to be pestered with marketing phone calls. In the US there is a "do not call" list and if you bother someone on that list, you will be fined. I only wish they would institute a similar list here in France - but until they do, any and all methods of thwarting this type of unsolicited annoyance are mine to use.
Cheers,

So you want to start a business by annoying people who don't want to be contacted?

In my opinion that is a) unethical, b) illegal in many places and c) going to annoy a lot of people as they are unlisted for a good reason. It's not a sound business model.

Bev,

There's a similar list in the UK. I made sure we were on it!

Sadly there were no fines though for those who still bothered you.

If that is your real name, it probably isn't smart to post about your intended illegal activity. Yes, it is illegal to obtain unlisted phone numbers.

Like it- Good point!

I think you will find if you check back, every several months or so someone from India asks the same sort of question either about telephone numbers, addresses or whatever.
I have no idea what is behind it, but it never goes anywhere, so draw your own conclusions I guess and dont bother replying

Rather fitting replies in my opinion. With so much spam e.mail, spam texts to mobiles, spam circulars to the mailbox and cold calling to house and mobile numbers - just had another one as I type - it is the last thing I want but unfortunately the stats indicate that getting one sale and pestering 99,999 others is a worthwhile "investment". As a matter of principle these days, whenever someone calls asking (in Spanish) for the "lady of the house" or the "proprietor" and cannot give a name for us, they get absolutely nowhere and if they really want to talk at their expense to a phone which has been put down on the table just so it costs more than hanging up, then so be it.
