How do celebrities manage to keep their contact information private?

i work with local celebrities. from my experience heres the breakdown:

the manager/agents keep the numbers of the producers, ad companies, organizers, directors etc...so he/she is in charge of dealing with them.

the production assistant/assistant keeps the numbers of the stylist. hair and makeup person, favorite takeout resto, spa etc...so the assistant is responsible for dealing with them.

the celebrity keeps numbers of his/her own personal contacts who are family, friends, celebrity friends. usually family won't give out the numbers.

friends are celebrity and non celebrity. of course the celebrity friends will not give away the numbers and since you are a celebrity, as time passes you have less non-celebrity friends so if your number slips out you have about a handful to blame.

usually the celeb gives a business number where his/her manager/assistant will answer and take messages and bookings. the celeb will give out her number to whomever she pleases but she also doesn't answer to unregistered numbers. some celebs also keep two mobile phone lines, one for personal (close friends, family) and one for business. so it is easier to detect who is calling and the nature of the call.

lets say a call comes in on the personal line and it is unregistered, she will not pick up. if it is extremely urgent then the person always has an option to sms/text/email and that way he/she can identify him/herself or call the business line. if the unregistered caller does not text or call back then you have a fan call. all you do is ignore it or have someone else answer the phone. fan calls usually don't answer when you pick up or are hesitant to identify themselves. so there is a way around it.

RE:

Yes, of course we know they have an army of representatives, agents, etc. etc. acting as a shield or filter between them and inquisitive members of the general public.

But surely, celebrities have personal telephone numbers and e-mail addresses too? Direct points of contact reserved for their...

A reverse cell phone lookup service I have used is http://reversephone.toptips.org

Enter the number in the system and they will tell you a lot of informations about the phone number and the person who owns it.
If they have extra details you will have to pay for the report.
Free reverse phone lookup sites generally don't provide anything interesting. To get further information, money will have to be paid. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book.
The best thing is that you can get informations about anyone!!

I'm with Painintheneck all the way on this one. I also work with local artists and at times major musicians. The way that painintheneck broke it down is right on point.

Also, remember they are not always able to hide this information from everyone. Take the girl that was on Dr. Phil for stalking Jay Z; she was going as far as calling his sister as well as calling Jay-Z's personal line. So, he just changed the numbers but she was never able to contact him directly because of this wall of protection painintheneck mentioned.

You are talking about celebrities like if you are talking about gods...they are normal people, they use the Internet and i assume that the contact list on their phone is far bigger than the 100+ you stated on your question.
the thing is that technology nowadays make things simpler for example : a celebrity can chose to receive phone calls only from numbers that exist on his/her phone, same thing for emails..etc..

By having reeeeeally good friends and family
