How to Find a Verizon Customer Cell Phone Number Using Their Name

1. Look up the person's name in a commercial cell phone directory such as Intelius or CellPhoneRegistry.com (see Resources). While Verizon does not publish its own directory of cell phone numbers, other (third-party) companies do. These commercial cell phone directories charge a small fee for a search because they, in turn, pay a fee to other companies for access to cell phone number information. On the directory's website, enter the person's first and last name and state of residence. Click 'Search.' Scan the results for the most probable match, and purchase the cell phone number report.
2. Conduct a search for the person's name in a free cell phone directory such as NationalCellularDirectory.com (see Resources). Unlike commercial cell phone directories, this directory is free because cell phone owners voluntarily submit their numbers to these entities. On the directory website, enter the person's first and last name and state of residence. Click 'Search.' If the person has submitted his Verizon phone number to the directory, it will come up in the results.
3. Enter the person's name, enclosed in quotes, in your browser's search bar. Follow that with the word 'phone' or 'telephone.' See what information comes up in the search results. It's possible this information is listed in an online publication. The person may have published his cell phone number for business reasons or made it accessible online for some another reason.

How to Get a Free Cell Phone

Free Cell Phone Offers
1. Look for advertisements for free cell phones. Check newspapers, magazines, television ads and online.
2. Contact the provider that's offering the deal. Ask about the free cell phone offer.
3. Ask what type of phone they are offering. If it's free, it's likely an older model that's larger with less features than newer ones. Make sure this is one you're okay with.
4. Find out the stipulations of the deal. There's almost always a catch. It's usually a long-term commitment or buying with a rebate.
5. Accept the deal only if you are okay with the terms. Follow all the steps the provider tells you in order to get the free cell phone.
Replacing a Phone
6. Call your provider and ask to cancel your account. Even if you don't really mean to, say it as a bluff.
7. Speak in an upset tone. Make it seem like you're really tired of their service. This will cause them to go into a defensive mode to try and keep you.
8. Explain why you want to cancel once they ask you. Say that you're tired of your phone and never liked it. Or you can complain about the fees on your account.
9. Wait for them to offer the free phone. This will likely come immediately if you said you don't like your current one.
10. Ask about any fine print in the deal, especially if it requires any activation fees or new contract. Refuse the deal if it includes this and go back to wanting to cancel the account. They're then likely to waive it.
