Finding a telephone number through address?

Is it possible to get the telephone number of someone just from their address?

Yup, if they're listed in the phone book.

Start at page one, and look down the list. When you find their address you can simply glance across and get the phone number.

Is there an online method?

I looked through my phonebooks and as i suspected, i only have ones for Worthing and Brighton.

The address i need to find is in Cambridgeshire.

Directory enquiries? Or is that the other way round? I can never remember.

Pretty obvious

Just need their basic details like post code etc

Not really.

I have no name, just an address.

I found my answer though:

http://www.infobel.com if anyone is interested.

Thanks though.

It is against the law to be given a phone number from an address only without a surname or to do a reverse search. About 10 years ago there was a piece of software called UK Info that did this and it got all the information from catalogue company's but they were quickly ordered to stop.

Lol, yes it does....

If you try and type a phone number into one of those boxes, it comes up with something saying 'no phone numbers' and the law against it.

What are you looking at?

Mine says :
Last name or Surname
Postal Code or City Name

If you type a phone number it says "Personal Data Protection"

Looking at 'PeopleFinder', http://www.infobel.com/uk/wp/search/

I see 2 boxes:
Who?
Where?

I typed in the postcode and out came a list of street numbers and the numbers.

I won't post an example for obvious reasons but try your own postcode.

Jez · 9 Nov 2006 at 20:13

As above, all you need is a post code and it spits out everyone in the area.

Interesting.
It doesn't know me even though i've lived here 25 years and its got my mate on who hasn't lived there for 15 years. Its also got him down in the wrong business.
Its also got my mothers phone number when she is ex-directory.
It looks like old catalogue information.
