mobile phones tend not to be on a phonebook, and overwhelming majority of those numbers are mobile.

That is true, but I really wasn’t able to get from the article what exactly someone could do with just my name and number beyond calling me while knowing my name in an attempt to scam me.
Where I live it is quite normal to have mobile numbers in the online phone book.
