As I'm watching Notorious, there was one thing that bothered me. How did they get Biggie's cell number? It was odd that he was getting threats on his personal phone. A cell phone is unlisted. It had to be someone within his circle that was behind the phone threats. If only Big was paying attention.

Biggie didn't know how they were getting his numbers. His mom has said in interviews that he had his numbers changed on a monthly basis because of this. Some people think the Feds were involved, who knows.. No one in Junior MAFIA was unloyal though, they could have gotten his number other ways for sure
shareI would've kept of list of people I gave my number too. If your number is supposed to be private it should remain as such.

wow, what do you mean by that?
sharewell there has been talk of the guy that shot him maybe being a cop who worked for death row on security if it was him making the calls he could have got it easy but truthly I would not worry there is so much in this movie that is not true

they use one of these phonecalls for the intro to My Downfall on Life after Death. The calls are real.

Because Poop Diddy had him killed.
shareThere's so many ways they could've obtained his phone number. Aside from the other possibilities already mentioned, it wouldn't have been beyond a dishonest employee in the phone company to look up his details and sell the number onto others.
shareIt's not as easy as you think. When I worked for T-Mobile there was a VIP department. Regular reps don't get to look up celeb phone numbers. The VIP accounts would likely not even be in his name anyways, probably under the name of the agency that represents him. That is how these things often work. If he changed his number frequently, anyone who accessed the account would leave a "foot print" indicating that it was accessed.
As for how these people got the numbers, aside from the "women talk" angle, I'm sure that there are a lot of people who would get his number by default. All of the producers and what not that he worked with, along with numerous other people that he collaborated with and just those that he was kind of friends with. Also, if he called someone who had call display that might explain it as well.
Simply put, there are too many people in the music industry who would be willing to play both sides. Alternatively it could have been that cop in the LAPD who likely had hiim killed in the first place, but I also doubt that as there would be a trail of either him requesting it or him asking people for it.
