Yeah, but the OP stated that unlisted numbers also show up (whereas I don't think they do on 411.ca). I can't confirm since I no longer have a landline with Bell- but that's interesting.

I keyed in my unlisted phone number, and it came up with my address. Not cool at all.

Yes I know but when you type your phone number that's unlisted it should populate the postal code in the other section. It doesn't give you the house number but it does give you the street name.

If you enter the postal code, it doesn't matter if the phone number is unlisted or not, because it's not using anything from the phone number to populate the rest of the information.

Not cool, I will have a nice all with them tonight about this.

»www.bell.ca/Bell_Internet/Internet_access#

If you put in your phone number, it'll give the full address connecting to that number, even if it's unlisted. Can anyone else confirm?
