if you know someones cell number but you dont know who the phone belongs to...is there anyway you can find out whos number that is? Can you get the name of the person, because it would be considered personal information right so they wouldnt give it away?!?

thanx

imported_gatherer

imported_trackhack

Dial and ask? Haha.

imported_redeYelove

I would say if you are trying to contact the owner of a phone, call a random in their phonebook

where there is a will, there is a way.

call the cellphone and ask who it is when they pick up?

ADR3NLYN_EK

no no if i DONT have the cell phone, if i only know the cell number but the person who owns it has the phone...and idont know their name...is there anyone i can call to find out their name? im guessing no one would give out that info...like rogers fido etc...

The info is out there but it isn't easy to get. You can get Bell phone numbers easy in the phone book because that was originally the point. Bell however won't make a phone book of cell numbers because the numbers are either not owned by Bell or are subcontracted out to smaller companies. Even Bell Mobility is a smaller company legally.

If you know the cell number, a little research will tell you which cell company is responsible for it. After that you need to ask somebody that works with that cell company. The average person will automatically tell you "no, that info is confidential" but I think that you could make a legal arguement against that considering the fact of land line phone books. So, with that in mind, when you start asking the people to look up the number, you might want to consider giving them a bribe. Whether it is legal or not is a grey area, but that being beside the point, it's not likely going to be in their job discription and nobody does stuff for free. A $20 or $50 would likely make the whole process much smoother in the long run.

I dont think its possible.

If it was a house number, you can do a reverse look up.

Easy if you know someone who works for a carrier

imported_dmacbo

i work for a carrier, if we give out info like that to people our asses will be fired. breaks the privacy act

imported_gatherer

sabre your only part right.

the way it works is when you get a landline number you own that number want to switch to telus or sprint.. sure you keep the number...

with Cell phone companies they buy numbers in bulk from the landline so they own the numbers then they basically rent those numbers out to customers.. want to switch services for cell phone you won't be able to keep your number. ussually numbers are bought in 10,000 digit blocks... so for example all numbers from 647-223-0000 to 647-223-9999 are all bell mobility numbers. if you use a reverse number lookup tool thats what it'kll tell you. this block is refered too as the 647-223 block. anyways thats how it works...

I would call the cell phone and say

"Hi is this Bob?" and hope he says no this is NAMEHERE.

Double_B

I had someone call me on my cell, ask for blah blah whoever, and I said, you have the wrong number. Then they have the nerve to ask me if I was sure!
