Finding the phone number for someone with an unlisted telephone number is challenging, even more so if it is a cell phone number. The transient nature of cell phones makes it difficult to pinpoint the owner of the cell phone. Some cell phone numbers are the primary telephone numbers for individuals who do not have a traditional residential phone number, and these are sometimes obtainable, even if
. the number is unlisted. If the cell phone is the primary phone for the individual, the steps for finding the phone number are the same as those for a traditional residential telephone number.Try using a website such as whitepages.com. Put in the information that is available such as name and address and do the search. People sometimes keep their old telephone numbers when they choose to invoke more privacy by removing their telephone number from city directories or directory assistance. This means the number might show up in the search.When a more thorough search is required to find a number, there are several steps to follow. The first steps to take are to gather as much information as possible about the individual prior to the search. An address is very useful in tracking a phone number. Consider several variations on a first name, such as James, Jim or Jimmy, a first initial, such as J or a nickname by which the individual is known. Add in any additional information that may prove useful in narrowing the search for the individual. The age or date of birth, name of a current or former employer, or the school from which the individual graduated, a hometown, club memberships, all of these are potential clues in locating the telephone number by doing a search of the individuals name. Type the name into Google.com or another trusted search engine and examine the results. If the person has had a published number in the past that is now unlisted, but still the same, it may show up in these results.Another option is to try looking for court records that may contain this information. Although court records are public information, finding them is sometimes difficult unless the proper steps are taken. Do a search of keywords: judicial system, followed by the state, for example: judicial system Ohio. Find the county, then search the different courts by typing in the individuals name. This may yield additional information to help in the search.For more information, please see: http://www.reference.com/browse/unlisted+number
