How to Find a Cell Phone Number in Canada

1. Look for the individual's name in your provincial phone book if the person you want to contact via cell phone lives in your province. Such phone books are delivered to your home free by your local telephone service provider. With the increased use of cell phones, many individuals choose to list their cell phone numbers in these Canadian phone books.
2. Find a cell phone number on the online Canada411 database. Canada411 lists public cell phone numbers from the customers of Canada's largest cell phone service providers, including Fido and Bell. Canada's federal privacy regulations require that you know the individual's first and last name, as well as a postal code or city name, before you can try to find a cell phone number on the Canada411 database.
3. Search for the individual on a search engine such as Yahoo! or Google. Include the individual's name within quotation marks, and include 'cell phone' within the search.
4. Obtain the services of a licensed private investigator. A Canadian private investigator can help you find a cell phone number that is not easily obtained through traditional, public methods of research. You can find a reputable private investigator who is licensed to work in your province through the Canadian Private Investigators' Resource Centre.

How to Get Info About a Phone Number Free

1. Use a reverse search service to see if name and address information is available about the telephone number through a free online directory. There are many to choose from, and one is listed in the Resources section. This is the easiest way to get free information about a phone number unless it is unlisted.
2. Visit a phone call tracking website to see if others have reported receiving calls from the same number. If the number is a business, others may have reported getting calls in an online database such as 800notes.com or whocallsme.com (see Resources). Sometimes the only information will be that the number is known for making hang-up or harassing calls. Often, however, other visitors to the site will have additional information on the caller's name, company and address.
3. Narrow down the area code and prefix. If you cannot find information on the exact telephone number, you can often pinpoint its place of origin by doing some research on the area code and the first 3 digits of the number. There are many online sources for looking up area codes, one of which is listed in the Resources. To find the location of a prefix, search the area code and prefix together in Google (for example, for phone number (312) 555-1234, you would search 312 555). You will see a list of individual and business results, including addresses, which will tell you the number's probable location.
4. Call the number and ask for the information directly from the person who answers. This direct approach is especially good if you have a solid reason for wanting to know, such as receiving harassing calls or hang-ups from the number in question. Even if the person at the other end refuses to give out the information, he will be on notice that you are gathering information and may stop calling you. If the number you're investigating is a business number, you may not even need to ask because the person at the other end will probably answer with the business name.
