Why are cell phone numbers unlisted?

0

Cell phones are unlisted because the cellular carriers do not maintain a whitepages database on their users. This is due in part to the fact that alot of cellular customers do not want such a database to come about, and also because people change their cellular phone numbers so often, and with the advent of pre-paid cellular phones that sometimes do not have any user information associated with them, it would be very difficult and costly.
