    Do you put your REAL PHONE NUMBER on your domains whois?

    If so, what kind of calls do you get? Do you ever get surfers harassing you? Would it be better to have a bullshit number rather than a real number? I thought about getting a cheap Vonage line for domains and to give to sponsors so their idiotic account reps can call me on something other than my cell phone. That really pisses me off when they call me at 9:00 PM when I'm trying to relax and play some xbox or am sitting down to eat.
    I like pie.

                      You might want to try a free voicemail number from eVoice.com if you don't mind getting messages by email.

                        i register at namecheap and take advantage of their free WHOIS guard for domain names that I think I might need it on.

                        I had outdated contact information on one my godaddy registered domain names. Apparently a "buyer" was interested in my domain name, he contacted GoDaddy and reported that my information was false. Almost lost 4 domain names do to it.

                        All my info is updated once every couple of months now.

                          I think it would be considered a breach of the registration agreement terms (and you may lose your domains), but nothing against the law. It's like staying at a hotel. You may have a 12:00 Noon checkout time, but if you're late in moving your ass out of the room, the Hotel Police are not going to come and take you away to jail. The worst thing that will happen is the hotel will bill you for another night's stay and possibly a housekeeping employee will give you a dirty look.

                            I have an $8 a month voicemail box and I've never gotten a message from a surfer on it. It's

                            Voicemail with a PO Box and you will have no worries.

                                  I use a voicemail number then sends me an email. I get 2 or 3 telemarketers a month, you know, the idiot search engine people. Innoport.com is the shits - for a few bucks a month I get virtual fax and email arriving by email.
                                  I have no signature

                                    Virtual number from vonage. If calls become a problem simply disable it, and setup a new one.

                                    Don't reply. Let it die.

                                          You're an idiot. First of all, there is no such law. Second, what would getting phone calls have to do with McDonalds?

                                          By the way, GFY is for webmasters. You obviously have no business being here.

                                            well the funny thing is that I attempted to contact the same guy about his domain name (I have domain name ending in _ _ _ _ _fitness.com and he had _ _ _ _ _ fit.com) and his contact info was wrong. But he had some obscure registrar so I just gave up trying to get in contact with him. But I was ready to rat out the fucker too...he ripped off my name and beat me to the short version.

                                                I had some anti-porn people calling me at nights. It was funny first time, but not every night. So now I use whoisguard protection. Its worth a good night sleep....

                                                    I've had a few 212 numbers call me, but that's about it.
                                                    I guess surfers in the area wanted to hit me up.

                                                        all you have to do to get some ones homes adress is to put the # in google and it will give you a mapquest, i dont think anyone wants to rick that.

                                                        (put your # in google, you will see it tells the adress, no need to look in "yellow page" type websites anylonger )

                                                          I've got my cell phone number there. I get a few calls now and then but nothing too problematic. If I don't know the incoming number, I always let it go to voice mail.
