It can. Phone directories refresh their data, and a new phone line or a move can create a new listing. Search your name and numbers again every few months.
How to remove AmericaPhonebook results from Google
Removing your listing from AmericaPhonebook does not instantly change Google. The old page can stay in search results until Google recrawls it. Once the listing is gone, search your name, find the old result, and use Google’s Refresh Outdated Content tool to ask for an update. Google’s Results about you tool can also hide results that show your phone number, home address or email, but it hides results in Google only; it does not delete the page from the website or from Bing.
