Today’s information highway makes it possible to connect with old friends, but for those with unlisted phone numbers it may take a little time, effort, and a bit of sleuthing.
You Will Need
- Your friend's personal information
- Internet access
- Mutual friends
- Paid search service
- Detective agency
Step 1: Call directory assistance
Call your local directory assistance to determine for certain whether your friend’s phone number is unlisted.
Step 2: Gather personal information
Gather as much personal information about your friend as possible, including names they go by, age, and address.
Step 3: Go online
Go online to a free people search site with a database of phone numbers within the United States and Canada; then key in your friend’s personal information.
An unlisted number is not the same as an unpublished number and it may be included in information databases.
Step 4: Consider using an online paid search service
Consider using a reputable online paid search service to get unlisted phone numbers, but be aware of what they charge, and make sure only legal methods are used.
Successfully getting unlisted numbers often depends on whether a person owns real estate and has a mailing address.
Step 5: Contact relatives
Contact your friend’s relatives or mutual friends who may have access to the unlisted numbers you want.
Step 6: Employ a detective agency
Employ a detective agency to take your case and get the unlisted phone numbers your seek. If you find your inner Sherlock Holmes and add persistence and a bit of help, your chances of a reunion are good.
When the telephone was invented in 1876, it was considered a radical form of communication.
