They cite some examples where it will be revealed to others. One biggie is if they get acquired or go bankrupt, etc., but there are a couple of other situations mentioned. So while the services might be handy, I would suggest users think what it might mean if their cellphone number did get out. Once personal data escapes, it's impossible to put it back in the bottle. Imagine the hassle of getting (and paying for!) cellphone SMS spam. 4info’s privacy policy does not provide sufficient protection for your cellphone number, IMHO.
