Billing and Subscriber Information: Carriers inherently collect all basic identification data to provide service and manage billing.
Call Detail Records (CDRs): All calls, texts, and data usage are logged by the carrier for operational, billing, and regulatory purposes.
Location Data: Carriers have access to real-time and historical location data from cell tower connections, even without GPS being active on the device.
Network Performance Data: Information on data speed, signal strength, and network congestion from your device's connection.
3. Data Brokers and Aggregators:
Public Records: Phone numbers can be found in publicly accessible turkey phone number list records like property deeds, business registrations, professional licenses, and court documents.
Social Media Scraping: While increasingly restricted, historically data brokers would scrape public profiles from social media platforms.
Commercial Data: Purchasing data from companies that have collected it from consumers (e.g., retailers, lead generation companies, warranty registrations).
Partnerships and Exchanges: Companies exchange or sell consumer data to data brokers, often under broad terms and conditions users unknowingly agree to.
Web Scraping/Open Web: Automated tools constantly crawl websites, forums, and online directories for publicly posted phone numbers.
