If you click the link it comes up with a simple block Text Message
"US GOVERNMENT"
I doubt the US Government has any thing to do with it but... something is

Excuse me!
Doing that with http://freecnam.org/dip?q=9038874180
Comes up with WAL-MART which is correct, so I guess my mistrust was
paranoid. (But just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that someone
isn't trying to infiltrate your computer or steal your email address or what
ever!)
And the returned page is perfectly clean as far as HTML code is concerned!
I DO suggest changing the example so as not to alarm suspicious minds.

This is the main public Whitehouse switchboard number. I figured I would use a prominent phone number for my sample dip.

Indeed I can't find one that IS.
Works well - however, I see you included the API access. Are there more parameters that we can pass to get more information? Example, when we go to the web site, it gives you the City/State/Province/Postcode and carrier. G On 5/29/2011 07:47, Michael R.
