Finding address from phone number

Hi.

I wonder if anyone can help.

I need to be able to get an address from a phone number, not sure how to do it with BT.

Have looked at various websites but they all seem to be US related.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Re: Finding address from phone number

I'm not sure whether it is actually legal to provide such a service. I think you are only allowed to search for a phone number/street address by inputting name and town/postcode (unless you are the police or emergency services).

Re: Finding address from phone number

I believe you can do a 'reverse lookup' via 192.com, but you have to register & pay a fee.

Re: Finding address from phone number

The UKInfo Disc does this to some extent. Obviously if the person is ex-directory then you're stuck...but if not then you might want to have a look at it. I don't know if it's still the case but they used to appear on the front of lots of PC magazines fairly regularly for free 9old versions I presume)

Also, have you tried typing the number (in quote marks) into Google? You'd be amazed how much you can find out - especially if the number is from a business. You'd probably need to format it like this "01xxx xxxxxx" or "01xxx xxx xxx" - don't forget to use the quotes to get rid of any search results that only contain a few of the digits.

Good luck.

Re: Finding address from phone number

Hi.

Thanks for the replies.

it is a business and an 0800 number.

I did try google but not with the quote marks, I will try that.

Re: Finding address from phone number

192.com (who produce Uk InfoDisc) used to do reverse search but stopped about 5 years ago after legal action was taken by BT IIRC.

Shame as it was a very useful service.

Re: Finding address from phone number

I did hear that you can't get reverse info i.e. number to address something to do with the data protection act I think.
