Answer 1

Cell phone numbers are not published, in print or online.

Answer 2

If this is important and you can't seem to track this guy down using any other means (it's true that there is no directory for cell phones), then you have few options.



1.) Find his service provider and see if there is anyway that you can obtain his mobile number by providing his name, address, etc. By law, they cannot legally give that info out, but you never know. I don't suggest you try to break the law, but asking can't hurt. They'll likely say that they can't help you, but you may ask if they could leave a message from you on his account. If you beg and have a really friendly rep, they may help. Explain that it's urgent. You can *guess* his service provider by where he is from. It's hit or miss. If he's from Winnipeg, his mobile provider is *likely* MTS or possibly a nationwide carrier like Rogers. You may have to call around.



2.) Post a classified add in local newspapers in his area (I.e. Winnipeg Free Press) with your name and number telling him to call you. He may just see it. Any old pervert now has your number, but less people will call long distance as a prank than you think. Hey, if you need to reach him, you have to do whatever it takes, right?



3.) Try searching for him on sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace, Classmates, Hotmail, etc. You may be able to get ahold of him and/or his contact info from there.



Good luck!

Answer 3

Probably not. Mobile phone numbers aren't listed, even in the reverse directory (all you'll get is the cellular service provider's name).



Myself, I'm not listed in any public telephone directory because I use only cellular phones and voice over ip at home. Neither has a public listing service, to my knowledge. (And even if voip did create a directory, it could be very confusing. You can select any area code you like with voip. As it is, our home phone area code is actually for Toronto - 416 - rather than what it should be - 905 - since we "could" select a 416 number. We could have chosen one from Texas or British Columbia or wherever. It would just mean that locals would have to call long distance - if they have land lines or stupid voip/cellular plans - to call us, if we used a far away area code. So how do you create a directory when a person's home address doesn't match his/her area code? Then, in my case, the service is in my husband's name. Since I didn't change my name when I married, my last name is nothing like my husband's. So, it's incredibly unlikely that I'd ever be listed in any public directory.)



I know... "TMI" But the short answers is, "No." You probably won't be able to find someone's cellular number via name and even address. But you might be able to find a land line...if he has one. Do you know anyone who knows him? Do you know where he works? Try those as well.

Answer 4

You can TRY this site, but in general, cell phones here are not listed, as they are not a part of the published telephone directory books, which is where the search websites get their information from.



try this.
