As a B2B database, ZoomInfo certainly has a lot to offer. Its detailed business information on people and companies is impressive, and I've found it to be a useful resource for researching potential clients and partners.
However, I do have a few criticisms of the product. Firstly, its pricing is quite steep, especially compared to other B2B databases on the market. This makes it difficult for smaller businesses or startups to justify the cost. Additionally, while the information on ZoomInfo is generally accurate and up-to-date, I have come across a few instances where the information was incomplete or outdated.
Despite these drawbacks, ZoomInfo is still a good resource for business information. It just might not be the best option out there. If you're willing to pay for a premium service, then ZoomInfo could be worth considering. However, if you're looking for more cost-effective alternatives, there are several options to consider.

It turns out it's via a service called Hiya. Haven't looked fully into how you go about adding your name and phone number to that, but obviously it would only work on compatible phones. Source: over 2 years ago
But you're right - most of the time it's a local number (even though it really isn't)! You can get the hiya.com app, which is really helpful. Source: about 3 years ago
For the phone calls - there's a decent chance they got your number from zoominfo.com - you can go there and request to be removed. Source: about 1 year ago
I just found a few data collator sites, zoominfo.com and signalhire.com are just two - they seem to scrape sites like Linkedin etc and collate everything. Personal numbers can be found pretty easily, if you've ever signed up for a business identification number it could be there, could be in a data leak somewhere - these companies are pretty shady and will buy data from places to just get a lead.

Zoominfo.com is used by larger companies. Source: about 2 years ago
I suppose the easiest way is to just search the company on the intrawebs and see what their web site pulls up. You can kind of tell from there and their Yelp reviews/Google reviews, if they are their own company or some kind of contractor type company. I also used zoominfo.com to get a sense of how big the company was. You'll probably be able to tell from there if they are their own company or part of a larger... Source: over 2 years ago
