The extent of the data available from a phone number is a rather frightening. I'm surprised we haven't heard more about services like this from privacy advocates. Here's a sanitized lookup of a friends number (which is actually a Google Voice number):
"status": "successful"
On a more useful note, aboutthedata.com will show you what Acxiom (one of these customer analysis companies) knows about you. Request the "partner marketing data" emailed to you since that has most of the interesting data. I got this last week and it was fairly accurate. Although I had to laugh at the item: "Prefers BlackBerry".
That's the one with people who are really good at pretending like they're the manager, right?
"social_links": [
{
"type": "facebook",
"url": "https://www.facebook.com/XXXX"
}

You can infer a lot about the person from their profile if it's public and also can try to match back to existing customer records if it's private.
EDIT: "reverse append" is the act of appending data to a phone call record based on the phone number.
No opt-out makes NextCaller a creeper—like all the others.
Under those the whole operation of the site would be illegal unless the individuals reported on granted their explicit consent.
Any pointers on opting out of such services?
Give it a try, create a partially fake identity of a fairly rich man and see what happens ;)
Maybe something more along the lines of net worth?
