So recently friends are telling me when I call, instead of my name (caller ID) appearing on their phone, a logo for an auto parts store appears. Finally I called my land line, and sure enough, I was now an auto parts store. So a call to t-mo tech and the guy says this biz must have had my number at one time and... whatever. So, short version, he submits a slight variation of my name + same number to the Magical Company that Controls All Numbers which will force it to be corrected. However, just in case -- and if I ever need to do it myself -- he gives me an email that will allow me to submit a number... any number... and change that caller ID.

Am now trying to figure out how to raise hell with this...

Post here for everyone and we will rain terror down on the caller id of anyone who doesn't own a BlackBerry.

It pays to punch you phone number into Google. I found some oddball website that had my mobile number. I got them to remove it. Many of these databases with your phone number or other personal ID will remove the data, but with varying levels of pain (effort).
