Find a Telephone Number - 5 Ways to Find ANY Number1. Use free services.You can find almost every telephone number using public record services. If you're looking for a person it might be a bit harder because many people request their number removed from the public databases. However, if you're looking for a business, that shouldn't be a problem. Just go to yellowpages.com and search there. If the business isn't listed in Yellow Pages, simply do a Google search on the name of the business and if they have a website, find the "contact us" or "about us" link to find out more about them. But, for a person, if a free service doesn't help you might want to consider investing in some of the paid and more advanced services. 2. Use paid services There are lots of players in this field. Unfortunately, I found that 90% of so-called "detective" websites are rip-offs. If you find a site that says you can get instant access (for a certain time) to millions of public, address, criminal, marriage records there is a huge chance the site is a rip-off. Why? Because paid sites don't work this way. You get charged for detailed background report of a person. With a good reason. Some of those sites actually pay to the database provider for each search. Some of them (like US Search for courthouse records) even have a team of people who go and ask for the data in person. 3. Use people search engines Sites like pipl.com (you have a bigger list here help you search through social networking sites like MySpace or Hi5. Some people store their phone numbers there. If you find a persons profile, you can even contact him for a phone number. 4. Use your 'social engineering' skills Although this is a black hat technique, you can use it in good purposes. If you really need a persons number, call his/her close relative, friend of them you know and say you're a close friend and you need their number immediately in order to give some important information or whatever. 5. Use a private investigator This is the most expensive, yet time-saving option. There are lots of private investigators to find on sites like freelancesecurity.com for little money.
