Way way OT but someone might know
Thanks in advance if anyone has an answer. I know I'm way OT but I read
here regularly and know there's a lot of good info here. Here's my question. Is there any way, online, to get someone's telephone number? They have a land line and it's a listed number. Not a big deal. I can make a call and get the #. More just curious. Back in the day you could google a name and location and a number would usually pop up. Now days there's a hundred different services who will tell you everything you would ever want to know or not want to know but run you through a whole gauntlet before you even find out how much they want to charge. Not even going there. Thanks much. Doug |

Search on "USA 411", you'll find several look-up services. They all look like they're going to want $$. Nothing I've seen just pops up with the phone #. They show the person and the address but all I see after that is give us your credit card if you want the #. |

How did you get anywho to give you the # for free? |

Good question. Physical paper phone books are on their way out. So, does that mean that there will be no way to look up a number without paying for the privilege? I don't like that. |

(I plugged in my own name and got only a listing from 3+ years ago.) Whitepages, OTOH, yielded someone with your name in NC with a phone number ending in 8461.

I get address, sister, wife etc and then every link goes to "people finder" or some other wants $$ site. I just input name and zip code on the first 411.com page that comes up and off it goes. ??? |

Yeh, I can get my own # also, but when I put in the person I'm looking for half ways across the country all I get are other search site options. Wierd! (I plugged in my own name and got only a listing from 3+ years ago.) Whitepages, OTOH, yielded someone with your name in NC with a phone number ending in 8461. (Whitepages has nothing for me.) |

(Whitepages has nothing for me.) it's possible that IF the person has told their phone company to LIST their number that you will find it. But if they have told their phone company NOT to list their number then those "free" services won't give it to you for free. So in short, it's possible that LISTED numbers show up for free and UNlisted ones cost money. |

That's probably what the deal is. I know it used to be listed but maybe they changed it for some reason. Haven't talked to them for awhile. Did some random searches on a couple other folks and both came up with numbers. Oh well, another one of those mysteries of life. Or as a buddy of mine decided years ago, "I don't answer "why" questions". Thanks all |

Here in UK, there's a free on-line telephone directory at www.thephonebook.bt.com/ -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked. |

Non-published can be accessed by calling Directory Assistance but unlisted can't. |
