Getting Phone Numbers

kivah — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 00:26:53 GMT

I live in southern California and once in a while, I google white pages to find people's home addresses. All of a sudden, the site said that I've reached my limit (nonsense) and want to charge me $5. a month.

Has this happened to you?

Are there other sites I could find addresses???

@kivah Most legit websites do charge.

@kivah Try Zabasearch. Or, if it is not a common name, like John Smith, sometimes if you type the first and last name and the town or city and/or you can find the correct person.

I used to use Zabasearch - but I forgot about it. Sometimes I type the person's name, city in the browser and have gotten their address. Thanks for ur help.

I've never paid before. Surprises me that the white pages would start charging.

@kivah, Our church uses the whitepages.com site occasionally. Recently Whitepages made a change that uses temporary cookies to monitor usage and, you're right, they block access when the "limit" is reached. If you'll delete your browser cookies/cache/website data when you see the "limit" notice you should be able to proceed free of charge as before.😊

Thank You - I'll have wait til my roomie returns as I'm computer-challenged.

I've never had an issue trying to get a phone number for free from Whitepages.com.

I used to be able to get most phone numbers online, but more and more, there's a charge.

I miss the good old days when we had phone books.

I used it a lot over the holidays because I needed to verify some addresses while I was addressing cards. I got a notice that asked me if I was a business. I realized they were tracking my use, so I closed my browser, cleared my cookies and browsing history, and continued.

Here is how I feel about them charging. They have collected and provided more information on me and my family than would ever appear in an old fashioned telephone book. They should be paying me!
