I'm still trying to understand why you're getting all huffy about a coworker getting your cell phone number.
Simply because only the person "owning" the phone number has the authority to publicize it.
This case is no different than finding out a local B&M store gave out your phone number to a lawn service company.
It's my phone number, and I decide, not you or anyone else, who gets that number. There is no published directory for cell phone numbers as there is for land lines.
Cell phone numbers are only a LITTLE less private than social security numbers, as they generally cannot be tied to bank account numbers or other specific financial data.
