Can CC Companies and others lookup cellular subscriber phone #'s?

A friend of mine is delinquent with CC's, etc. He told me the other day that
Discover Card left a msg on his Nextel voice mail. I asked him if he gave
them his cell # and he said no.

Is it possible for them or anyone else to look up #'s like that?

Thanks!

Has your friend ever called them on his Nextel? If so that is how they got
the number. One of the features of having an 800 number is that the holder
of the 800 number gets the calling part's data. For example, when I call
Fedex (800-GO-FEDEX) with my calling number blocked, then answer and know
it's me, eventhough my number is blocked (*67).

Hence, when using a mobile to call a creditor, always use their non-toll
free number and block your caller ID. Then again I guess the best answer is
pay your bill, I'm still trying to figure out hoe to do that

I agree there, can't figure out how to pay them! LOL

Thanks for the info Scott, and sorry I responded so late.
