Carriers are also selling your billing records. They offer a service to return the carrier billing address/name based on the mobile number.
Not only this but late last year all 4 of the major US carriers are offering APIs to convert mobile IP to a billing record (name/address/phone number).

That's terrifying. Do you have a source I can look at for this? It might be time to always-on VPN my phone.
This is even more disconcerting - just out of curiousirty what does this cost?
9c on the high end, under a 1c on the low end (with volume/long term commitment)
