Sounds like a great thing to have, but I doubt this is possible without
violating existing laws. At least in Europe there are some quite
restricting rules concerning the storage and transmission of
people-related data. Without explicit permission you might not be
allowed to transmit people's "unlisted" phone numbers, for example.

Take care,
