    Where can I look up a Phone number on the Web?
    I was wondering if anyone knows of a web site where I can look up a phone number? I tried the white and yellow pages but its like $14.00 Is there any free look up web sites? :confused:

    If you are looking by name use:
    Residential Listings and yellow pages directories at Yellowbook.com

    If you want a reverse lookup i.e. by number use:
    Reverse Lookup on AnyWho

    Are you looking for a phone number or personal information about a phone number?

    Are you trying to look up a telephone number by a person or business name? Or, are you trying to lookup a name based on a telephone number?

    White Pages Phone Directory with Free People Search does not charge for a simple phone and address lookup. If you want to find anything more than that, then yes, there is a fee.

    I have the phone number I wanted to know who it is or if it's a business.. All it tells me is that it's a land line number

    Try going to Google and putting the number in area code first, like this

    123/555-1212

    I just did that to my own number and it came up as to who I was.

    If it still comes up "landline" than it may be a non-published number, or possibly a business with multiple phone lines.

    Well at Anyway it will sometimes have the information and sometimes not I think it depends on the phone service in question. It usually works for me, you could also go to Google and search "Reverse Phone Look up" there are many sites that offer it, for free...

    Cheers!

    If the receiver is paying for an unlisted number, that is all the info you are going to get.
