How to Find a Person's Address and Phone for Free

1. Check the phone book if the person lives in the same city. Phone books usually list both phone number and address. Cell phones are not listed, however, and people can opt to have their landlines unlisted as well. While there are now cell phone directories available, none are free of charge so you will have to resort to other methods if the person does not have a landline phone number.
2. Ask mutual friends or the family of the person you are seeking. Other acquaintances may have the information and be able to share it with you.
3. Look online. Check if the person has a website or maintains any social networking pages. Some people list contact information online and you may be able to find his address or phone number in this way. Try entering variations of his first name if the person uses a nickname. If you are looking for someone named Richard, for example, try searching for Rich or Dick as well.
4. Search through the alumni directory of the school the person attended. Along these lines, you may look through a professional directory if you know the person's career. There are also numerous online telephone directories, many of which provide phone numbers free of charge though they may not always list the address.
