    How to find a landline phone number

    Let's start this guide dedicated to how to find a phone number from the contact details of fixed line. There are several useful services on the Internet in this regard. Below you will find those that in my opinion represent the best in the category.

    White pages

    How to find phone number

    Let's start with a service for many "taken for granted" but undoubtedly useful: the one offered by White pages, which allows you to find the telephone numbers of private citizens, freelancers and companies. For private individuals, only landline telephone numbers are shown (those present in public directories) while for companies and professionals, mobile numbers can also be traced.



    To use the PagineBianche site, all you have to do is connect to it and type in the field where it says Name, Surname or Company name, the name of a person or professional whose telephone number you want to know. Then type the name of the reference city from the adjacent field and click on search to view the search results.

    If you want to perform a reverse search, ie starting from a phone number to find out its owner, select the tab telephone number and enter the number to find in the search field that appears in the center of the page; then click on the button search.

    PagineBianche can also be used on smartphones and tablets: just download its official app which is free and can be used on both Android and iOS / iPadOS.

    Yellow Pages

    How to find phone number

    If you need to find the telephone number of a company or a professional, you can count on Yellow Pages. Apart from fixed telephony, the mobile numbers of those who have requested it have recently been included, with reference to firms, companies and freelancers.



    To use it, connected to the homepage of the PagineGialle site, click on the tab telephone number and enter the telephone number you wish to know more about in the appropriate text field. Then click on the button search to start the search.

    If, on the other hand, you want to do a reverse search, or go back from the name of the header to the number, you have to click on the tab name, type the name of the company, activity or category of reference, indicate the reference location in the field on the right (if this has not already been detected automatically) and click on the button search. In case you want to find all the shops, offices and public places that are located in a specific area, just select the tab address and repeat the above steps providing the requested information.

    You can also use the PagineGialle service from smartphones and tablets by installing the official app for Android and iOS / iPadOS, which is free.

    InfoBell

    How to find phone number
    InfoBell is another service that I recommend you use. What is it about? A sort of vast telephone directory that can be consulted online, thanks to which it is possible to find telephone numbers of individuals and companies.

    How to use? It's very easy: first of all, connect to its main page and select through the appropriate drop-down menu whether to search for the number of acompany or that of a private. After selecting the option you prefer, type in the appropriate text field the number for which you wish to obtain further information and click on the button Research to start the search.


    Now, all you have to do is consult the results that have been found and see if there is any useful information to trace the origin of the numbering sought.

    Google

    How to find phone number

    Services like Dive3000 are not always able to return satisfactory results, so alternatively you can try to do some research on Google.

    If the person whose number you want to find out also uses their mobile phone for professional purposes, you could find their contact details by searching for their name on the number one search engine in the world (in quotes, in order to avoid too dispersive searches, eg. "Save configurehow mobile number"). Next, analyze the displayed results and click on the one you think might be most relevant.
