How To Find Your Address From A Phone Number

Do you ever feel like your address is falling through the cracks? Perhaps you’re trying to connect with someone but they’re not responding to your messages or they don’t seem to be interested in meeting up? Or maybe you’re looking for someone specific but they live miles away and you can’t find their address?

It can be really frustrating when you can’t seem to find someone’s contact information. Whether you’re trying to connect with someone or you’re just looking for a friend, you can find their address by phone number.

It might seem like a small thing, but having a number that you can reference makes it a lot easier to connect with people. Let’s take a look at how to do it.

How To Find Your Address From A Phone Number? Step By Step

  1. Find the number of your local phone company. You can find it in the telephone book or in the letter you received from them. For example, if you live in Los Angeles, your local phone company is Pacific Bell.
  2. Find your telephone exchange number by looking in the white pages under “Telephone Exchanges”. If you don’t know what that is, ask someone at the phone company or look it up on a map of where you live (an address). For example, if your address is 1314 North Main Street and your telephone exchange is EAST-1234 then: EAST-1234 = 213-123-4567 (that’s what you’ll use to call people who have a 213 area code and are located between Vermont and Western).
  3. Decide how many digits of your phone number will be left after the area code has been removed. For example, if there are only two digits left after removing 213 from 213-123-4567 you’ll need to dial 1 + 2 + the remaining 2 digits (123) to call a 213 area code number.
  4. Look up the area code and telephone exchange in the white pages (under “Area Codes”) or in a telephone book for the rest of your state. For example, if you live in Los Angeles, your area code is 213 and your exchange is EAST-1234.
  5. Call directory assistance and ask for your phone number starting with the first digit of your phone number after removing the area code. Ask them to give it to you without saying anything else. For example, if you’re located at 213-123-4567 then they will probably only read back 1234567 (which is all you need). They may also say something like “Your telephone number has been changed” or “The last four digits on this line are 1234567”. You will have to dial 1+the area code+the rest of the phone number to call a 213 area code number.
  6. If you’re still having problems, call the main number of your local phone company (such as 1-800-425-1008) and find out if they have a long distance calling card or if you can get a direct line to their main offices. If so, tell them that you need to make an international call and ask for their international operator or switchboard. Tell them that you need to make a long-distance call from California, USA (which is the country code for the USA) and that you want to make a call back home in Canada (which is the country code for Canada).
  7. Tell them that your phone number is 213-123-4567 and your name is Greg Brickner, for example. They may also need your address, city, state, and zip code (if they ask). They will then say something like “Your telephone number has been changed” or “The last four digits on this line are 1234567”. Ask them to dial 1+the area code+the rest of the phone number to call a 213 area code number.
  8. If you still can’t get through, then call the main number of your local phone company (such as 1-800-425-1008) and find out if they have a long-distance calling card or if you can get a direct line to their main offices. Tell them that you need to make an international call and ask for their international operator or switchboard. Tell them that you need to make a long distance call from California, USA (which is the country code for the USA) and that you want to make a call back home in Canada (which is the country code for Canada).
  9. If they say “Your telephone number has been changed” or “The last four digits on this line are 1234567” then ask them how much it will cost. Say something like: “I am calling from California, USA and I want to call my friend in Canada”. Say “I have a long-distance calling card but it says that I can only call Canada from the USA and vice-versa”. Then say “I need to call my friend back in Canada and I need to do it right now”.
  10. Tell them that you want to make a long-distance call from California, USA (which is the country code for the USA) and that you want to make a call back home in Canada (which is the country code for Canada). Ask them for their international operator or switchboard number. Tell them that you need to make a long-distance call from California, USA (which is the country code for the USA) and that you want to make a call back home in Canada (which is the country code for Canada).

What Are The Best Ways To Find An Address From A Phone Number?

  1. Dial the phone number and ask the person for his/her current address.
  2. Call the phone number, wait for the voicemail message, then dial 0 and ask for his/her current address.
  3. Call the phone number and ask for his/her current address (if he has one).
  4. Lookup a reverse phone lookup service to find out who owns the phone number (this is often done by automated computer software).
  5. Ask your friends or family members to help you find out who owns the phone number (you may have to pay them money or give them something in order to help you out).

Conclusion

As you can see, there are many ways to find an address from a phone number. In many cases, it’s easier than asking the person directly. For example, if they are in a store and you ask them directly, they may not know where the address is located. However, if you ask them about the number that they just gave you and start a conversation about it, then the person may be more willing to share information about their location with you.
