Match address to phone

Is there a way to find out a phone number that goes with an address? I already know the name but I can't ask the person. If I could, there'd be no problem with it.

I'm not sure i understand. Are you trying to find out if the person still lives at the address you have? If so, that would be impossible unless you have an outside directory like a phone book which is up to date, otherwise you can't just search for a number and see the address.
 
No, I mean the other way. I have the address but not the phone number. It's someone far away and I can't just go there and ask for the phone number.

You could go the old fashioned route and post them a letter asking for their phone number ;)
 
Thanks,. I have tried WP but they want to charge for everything. I'm not trying to find out if a preschool teacher is a career criminal, just basic contact information. Psionandy, you are beyond right about the dear old telephone books. The last one I saw was maybe a year ago, and wasn't that yellow pages? Back in the day there was one telephone company, they owned all the equipment, and if you for some unimaginable reason actually wanted to remove the thing, you probably would have had to tear down the building.
 
So is there any reason you couldn't write a letter including your phone number and post/mail it to them and ask them to ring you so you'd have theirs? ;)
 
Actually there's a way to do that and way more..it's an app.

..then again, like my boys asked already more than once..is there a reason why you can't write the individual to ring you back?
 
It would take too long. I want to know if someone's going to be in town for the holidays. By the time it got there, it would be too late. What's the name of that app?
 
See if you can find:
Instant CheckMate 1.7.19.apk

You can find email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, people related and so on...
 
I't also amazing how much information out there is wrong. I just searched my full name it I found several listings that have me living at my mother's address from 1984 - 2001.

I did live at that address from 1972 until 1979 but I rented from '79 until '84. I bought a house and was married in 1985 and never moved back. I did sell that house in 2002 as executor of my mother's estate after she passed away.

The same site that had this misinformation also listed the address of the house I bought in '85 but it listed me as living there in the '70s.

I found much more about me that had some semi-valid information but wrong in the details ... like an incorrect middle initial, or listing current phone numbers as past employer's phone numbers.
 
I just searched my full name, and non of them is me.

I did see my picture (from my linkedin profile) but that was the only one and it was pretty far down on the list. Granted my name isn't all that unique, but I know I've got more than just that one.
 
I've never tried that, but I bet it can be pretty funny. Finding someone on Facebook is not all that easy, either. There are some people I haven't found at all.
