Could someone tell me if it's possible for someone to find out my home address if I were to give them my cell phone number.
Use Google Voice and give people that phone number. Set up your Sprint number to ring for calls to your Google Voice number so you still receive calls. No one can trace you that way through your GV number. Like has been said though, don't join Google Latitudes (seperate from GV).There are some crazy people out here I guess want to be safe I give alot of people my number because I run a business.
The answer is if the address is the one associated with the account - "YES".
It can actually be done fairly easily, albeit for a fee.
The phones location can also be found with varying accuracy (post 9-11) even without GPS enabled.
I would assume it depends on a whole host of factors.Could someone tell me if it's possible for someone to find out my home address if I were to give them my cell phone number.

I typed in my number, and it pin pointed it to the nearest city. It said the number was from Madison, but i live in a small city outside of Madison.
I'm guessing that it's looking at the Sprint store where the phone was activated?! Maybe?!
Nahh, your phone's 1st six digits (NPA-NXX) has a physical location, aka, a rate center, associated with it. It's used for a number of reasons but primarily for rating purposes, ie, local vs. intra-state vs. inter-state dialing.

Yes, some personal information (most of it is incorrect) can be purchased, but not through your cell phone number which was the concern.
Sorry... but...
From a Cell # - I can & will get the name and address associated with it.
Hmmm ... as it's illegal for the cell phone company to give that information out to anyone without a court order, I'm curious as to how that is possible?
I immediately ran a search based on phone, name given and area person said they were from and was able to at least (-minimally-) verify that this person was who they said they were.
This is so crazy maybe I should buy a gun.
