One's address is a matter of public record anyway, so I'm not too concerned about my address appearing in a WHOIS. Phone number, at worst you get some spam calls, but I don't answer numbers I don't recognize so it's of low concern.
In many countries, one's address is in fact not a matter of public record. For example, in China.
It does you zero favors.
Can you clarify what jurisdiction you mean? In the United States, this isn't true - there are certain (admittedly common) things that generate public records with your address, such as buying a house or (in some areas) registering to vote. (In other areas, voter registration databases are technically not public, but volunteers on any political campaign have access.)
However, if you're not registered to vote and you're renting an apartment, there isn't any real reason why your address would be a public record.
There is no white pages for cellphones but I still get junk calls anyway.
