    There are many websites that represent themselves to provide "free phone number lookup" but after going through the maze of screens on the site, one has to join a service for a fee. I just want a phone number. Is there any site that provides it at no cost?

    For a private party? Not that I know of, thankfully.

    Are you in the US? You may qualify for the so called Obama phone. It is a free of charge cell phone with limited usage. Anything outside the limit is extra.

    Do you have cable service in your area? Most cable companies offer a home phone through the cable company for around $20 dollars us.

    . The OP is trying to find a phone number by using the Internet instead of a phone book. ;)

    We don't get phone books any longer. A good way to find a number is at the library reference desk, using the Haines Criss+Cross Directory in either print form or on CD-ROM. If a number is unlisted or is a cellphone number, though, it probably won't be there.
