Reply to comment by uterinejellyfish in Anyone else getting loads of voting texts? I don’t know how they got my number. by thatgotmegood

I didn’t think cell phones were, but really have no idea. I know name and address are public with a house purchase, but not cell.

The amount of information in your voting file is ridiculous. The White Pages wishes it had that much info

Lots of people have a cell phone as their main line and have no home phone (myself included).

Also, selling contact info is very common among businesses.

Technically correct. They’re owned by your provider. They likely sold it with your demographic info and bam, enjoy your texts.
