A new site has cropped up, an alternative to the costly Mirus Online
Seems okay. ===============================================
Just found this posted in aus.comms
should be of interest to most readers of this group I would think.
Needs state prefix, also some mobile numbers come up, some don't.
Cheers Don...
Terrific!!!
Thanks for the link
Cheers ..............
is it legal?
This could be a very good tool for identity theives. Just checked my current # then my previous # in a different town. Both on display for all to grab.
I'm not there - "silent number".
"z1"
** The only legal issue was that copyright the data was held by Telstra.The Federal Court has ruled there is no copyright in such a list - cos it lacks "originality".
Long been said of phone books that they have fantastic casts but no identifiable plots.

When my dad bought his car way back in Perth - just after the war - it included a directory of owner names, addresses and regos of every car in WA. Hard to believe, I guess in those days you didn't get many hot chicks driving, and cool guys hanging out for their contact details.
Looks like Telstra list, doesn't work with my home or mobile number but I have 0 connections with Telstra - they offered me a non-ADSL capable landline so they can keep it...

Corse its legal, its never been illegal to do a reverse lookup.
You're always free to get an unlisted number if you're that paranoid.
I have no connections with telstra either and it works fine anyway.
Your use of the word free does not apply in this case.
Corse it does. I never said they dont cost anything.
And they dont cost a cent with mobile numbers anyway.
How to get delisted
If you do not want your number to be listed on this web site, please contact us using the feedback link on the right. Only numbers that are on the ACMA Do Not Call Register will be delisted. This is to prevent fraud.
First time today I had a use for it (missed call with number that doesn't look familiar) and site seems to be dead, pity it haven't lasted too long.

Still working here....
Was not working yesterday, is now.
guess what?
they are charging for it now. :-)
Cheers Don...
==================
Bugger!!! - But I suppose it was too good to last as a free site :-(
