My cell phone company was suppossed to make my cell number Private.
I have been communicating with them, and they completely acknowledge that the error is 100% their's and they have made small offers to financially reimberse for any inconvenience they have caused.
However, there are MAJOR reasons why I wanted my number private....including the fact that people I communicate with and mutual aquaintances of people I communicate with, are not suppossed to know ANYTHING about me...not just a simple phone number, but not even the state that I live in.
So even though a simple solution would be to change the number so people do not call, now, people know what state, AND city I live in (thanks to area codes)...
regardless of the details of WHY I needed my number private...the cell phone company has caused MAJOR privacy breaches because of their mistake....
CAN I SUE? If so, about how much would I get?
It may seem absurb to you, but I may have to relocate because of this!!!!!

Are you in the witness protection program. If your a snitch I hope they get you . If you are a victim fight them with all you got. Good luck either way!!!

And this should concern everyone how? Go ahead and sue, hate to tell you but any legal action such as a lawsuit will be public record. The the boogey man can really find you. Get those disposable pay as you go cell phones. You can put anyone's name on one, and know one will be the wiser.

I would think the limit of your ability would be the amount you paid for service. While they did fail to provide the privacy setting you requested, you failed to verify it was correctly set before calling people that should not have that information. You did not exercise due diligence.
