Re: What carrier controls your phone number?
Hmm...
Interesting website. But it seems that some of the data might be out of date. Not a big deal, if you know a little bit of history.
Example:
I tried looking up my POTS number, just to see what it would say. It came up as Ameritech, a company that no longer exists under that name. But the history of it was this: Ameritech --> SBC --> AT&T
So, it's correct but it's incorrect at the same time. It was accurate though. |

Farmington, MI | I don't think the database is kept up to date wrt corporate name changes. Likely a good thing, as that would be more than a full time job.  |

1 edit | name changes in industry databases tend to be the responsibility of the provider, not the owner of the database. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there were results that said "General Telephone" instead of Verizon, or Comtel or United or Sprint instead of Embarq or the new owner CenturyTel.
As I implied earlier, there is nothing substantive that an individual can do with this info. |
