Since phone books are being phased out, how can we easily find phone numbers online? I don't have a problem with local businesses, but I can't seem to find individual numbers there. I go to whitepages.com, but they don't give phone numbers, unless you follow the links to other sites that make you pay for them. I WILL NOT PAY for a phone number that I could get free from the phone book! Am I overlooking something? Is there another site to go to? If I'm trying to look up a neighbor to call and tell them their cows got out, I don't want to spend an hour trying to find a phone number online!

You won't find an individual's phone number online if they're number is not a "published" number. In other words, if it's not found in a phone book, you won't find it online, either.

Whitepages works as long as the number is listed. I just tried my grandmother.... the only person I know who's # is still listed.... thats being phased out too apparently... times are changing :sad1:

i have used 411.com but if it is not listed it won't show it..i have used this one for business and people
-
Look up whitepages in google chrome (online phone book pretty much) and you will be able to find any phone number thats listed
-
Yes! Phone books are obsolete nowadays. It's practically impossible to find anyone's number since most people don't have home phones.
-
Even phone numbers that are in the phone books aren't on whitepages.com. That website is completely useless. I was hoping there was a better alternative. I guess I can try 411.com. Sometimes technology can't replace the older stuff!

you can try www.google.com this site has most of the world's answers
