Finding a Long Lost Friend

pattypeep — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 18:09:28 GMT

I've seen posts on here with websites to look up phone numbers for a person. I have her name and address, but cannot find a phone number. Everywhere I look, it costs money and I'd rather not give out my cc number on these sites. Any help? TIA

Why not send a letter?

I will if I cannot speak with her.

I think most of the free sites have disappeared. At one time whitepages.com gave out phone numbers. It's possible your friend has an unlisted number or just a cell phone.

Thank you. That is what I discovered. We have a mutual friend and I will call her. God bless.

I have sent a private message through Facebook to them or one of their relatives with good luck in the past

I found my long lost best friend from 5th grade through our old school. I put her name in and the school district. Found out she lived in the same house she grew up in. The funny thing is that when I moved back to this area I sat in my car in front of her childhood home not knowing that she had bought it from her parents. I could have found her years earlier had I just rung the doorbell. She had saved all of my letters and pictures from when we were pen pals. She remembered things that I had forgotten. We email each other now and get together when we can.

@pattypeep, I wish you luck! I have been looking for my best friend from the time I was 6 till I graduated from HS! She went to college and I did not, and I later married someone in the military. I was living overseas when her mother died, my sister went to the funeral, and cannot remember where she lived at that time, but that has been over 25 yrs. ago! Our HS will be celebrating our 50th Reunion next June 2017, and they still have her old adress from HS on file! I have done everything but pay to have her found, but I don't want to use my CC either, I sure wish I could find her!

At least you have an address for your friend, I just know her age, and birthdate, and maiden name! I wish you the best!

Whitepages.com

Do a reverse look-up by address and then click on the name if it comes up. If it's a published number it will come up.

Google her name and state --- occasionally the person's phone number appears. Also, go to 411.com. Yes - the FREE sites were removed because the "big" companies shut them out so they can charge. I would NEVER give my credit card information to any of these types of companies. I don't trust them.
