How to Remove a Phone Number From Free Listings

1. Call your local telephone service provider's customer service line. Local telephone service providers compile residential telephone numbers and add them to their White Pages telephone directories.
2. Inform the customer service representative that you would like an unlisted telephone number. Find out whether it is possible to change your current number to an unlisted one. Keep in mind, though, there is no way to remove your phone number from existing printed and released directories.
3. Order a new unlisted phone number from your telephone provider's customer service representative. Do this if you want to ensure that your telephone number never makes it onto a White Pages listing. Skip this step if you do not mind your phone number existing in previous listings.
4. Search for your phone number on Google's online free listing. Enter your telephone number in the Google search bar (see Resources). Click the 'Phonebook Results' link containing your telephone number and personal information. Click the 'Request to Have Your Name Removed From This List' link on the ensuing Web page. Complete the ensuing form.
