There's even a reverse number look-up too. There's also a well known paid service for getting a DB of contacts (name, address, phone numbers of persons and businesses). Just out of curiosity, what is it that your boss intend to offer that would stand out for already existing services? I doubt anyone would be sane enough to sit there and just browse through phone numbers only. Even if it does show the owner's name of the registered number, I highly doubt anyone sane would browse unless you provide some kind of filter/search. > Oh, and the 89 million is just for one state :) We are talking the > possibility of I believe 10 billion numbers to cover the US, not to mention > Canada which I believe uses the same numbering system as we do so that could > be another 10 billion... > > > > > As I've mentioned, something of this magnitude is better to leave it to > the > > DBA and work together with that DBA.
