That's one of the reasons you should put 000-000-0000 as a phone number.
The whois info is used only for such purposes, so I started to
set up a false info everytime I register a new domain name. (Except the
admin e-mail ;)
So you could recommend your customers not to supply their phone
numbers. Better let them to put their SSN :)
