Well, most of us might use TrueCaller app to find out the unknown number you receive to your cell phone. It crowd sources contact details from all its users' address books and by this your number might be on TrueCaller's Database.
Not everyone knows this, but for some fixed-line phones,Truecaller even lists the address of the landline. This doesn't mean much when telemarketers or spammers call from an office address, but ideally you wouldn't want strangers to know your home address just because you called them from your landline.
Here's how to remove your number from the TrueCaller's Database,

Watch out our video:
Once you have deactivated your Truecaller account, you can proceed to removing your number from the service. Here's how.
How to remove your number from Truecaller
- Go to the Truecaller unlist page.
- Enter your phone number with the correct country code. For example: +911140404040 or+919999999999.
- Tick one of the reasons for unlisting, or if you wish, type your reasons for removal in the Other form.
- Key in the verification captcha.
- Click Unlist.
Truecaller claims that it removes these numbers up to 24 hours after receiving an unlist request. This doesn't always mean that your number will stay off the service forever. We'd removed our mobile number around a year ago but it started appearing again on the service a few days ago even though we've never used Truecaller. Your best bet is to keep checking with Truecaller users whether they see your contact details. If they don't, you're good to go. If not, you can always ask them to unlist your number.
awesome :-)
