Their own internal records wouldn't have every live phone number as they have got that many customers.
They are using a database that has been licensed from an external company that does have every landline telephone number whether ex-directory or not. It is regularly updated as new numbers arrive or disconnect, but certain tel numbers like voip & mobile will not appear on it, well not in the way landlines do.
Its telecom thing, I won't shout in public about Quote:
