Yes - it'd be advised to prevent ban - it's a common thing to buy a prepaid SIM card from tobacconists or local stores.
Yes, users can always change their profile visibility. To view or edit these settings :
- WhatsApp : Settings > Privacy
- Telegram : Settings > Privacy and Security
Your phone can be banned by WhatsApp and/or Telegram, make sure to not overuse this application. A reasonable reverse lookup frequency would be 40/day (each one different), waiting at least a few seconds between each call, at an irregular frequency. Use a prepaid SIM card to prevent such situations.
It's legal to view publicly available information. However, scraping would violate Terms of Use of WhatsApp and Telegram and would result in a permanent suspension.
