Intelius halts cellphone directory service
By James Phillip on Feb 5, 2008 in Startup, Tech
Speaking of cellphone caller id (below is an article on the startup Cequint) Intelius has halted it’s cell phone lookup feature after complaints from the public and corporations like Verizon.
Personally I do not want my cell in a directory anywhere if it can be avoid. I am all for a product like Cequint that is offering since it is use but not invasive. I still wonder how they had access to such a list to begin with? If you know post up a comment I am curious to hear.
As of right now I do not see anyone pulling off a cell phone directory without half of the country going after them so it is a lost cause. Maybe in a few years some other feature will satisfy the need on all cell phones.
An article on the Intelius IPO will be up shortly so stay tuned.
