Searching for a Phone Book Listing

With the Phone tab, you can search for a name and address based on a given phone

number or search for a phone number based upon a specified name and/or address.
You can pick and choose your selections to add to map, make a dataset, and so on.

Notes

• The Phone tab in XMap requires DeLorme Phone Data, available from

DeLorme. For information, visit www.delorme.com or call DeLorme Direct
Sales at 800-561-5105.

• A hyphen (-) before the name in a search result indicates a business

listing.

• An asterisk (*) before the name in a search result indicates a Do Not Call

preference The person or business listed has registered a preference to not
be solicited by telephone (as provided by law). DeLorme products cannot

be relied upon as a method for legal compliance with state and federal
regulations. A number is flagged as Do Not Call if at least one of the

following is true:
The phone number is unlisted. Unlisted phone numbers allow customers to

have their phone number be available from directory assistance but not
published in any phone directories.
Note
Customers paying for non-published service desire complete privacy

of their phone number, which means it is not published in the phone book
and is unavailable from directory assistance. Non-published numbers are

not available in Phone Data.
The phone number is on the Federal Trade Commission's National Do Not

Call Registry.
You can register your home or mobile phone number or verify your

registration at https://www.donotcall.gov.
The address is on a mail preference list that limits mail solicitations.
You can register your preference for mail and e-mail solicitations with the

Direct Marketing Association at http://www.the-dma.org/.
