How do I Search?

RSS Feed

Who is Calling Me? -- I have a phone number and I would like to find out who it belongs to.

  1. If you have only one, two or ten phone numbers and you would like to find out who they belong too we suggest using our main website.

    http://www.whitepages.com/reverse_phone/

    There isn't anything you can get from this API that isn't already available at that address.

    If you are developing a web mashup or a new application I suggest starting with the documentation here:

    I think I'm confused. I signed up for this because it appeared this would give me more information than the main page. I have a phone number and have used the reverse number page which is your main page, and it does not give me any information of who it belongs to or any address, the page wants me to buy some 1800US Search thing to get the information because according to them they have the information if I pay. Please HELP!

    I am having the same problem, I have a # and I want to know who it belongs to but it is directing me to intellius and asking for money.

    Cherish and Debbie,
    We don't ever charge for our information. Nor do we require you to sign up for further information. If we do not show the listing information it either means it is most likely 1) a number that is unpublished or 2) a cell phone or 3) one of the 20% of numbers we don't have in our data.

    Cherish, We do have advertisers who do more in depth public records searches. US Search is one of them.

    Debbie, I don't think we have an advertising relationship with Intellius currently. If you could email the URL that you were viewing when you saw this to ( api at whitepages dot com ) with a subject line of attn: Dan that would be very helpful.

    To search for individual phone numbers, go to www.whitepages.com. If the search returns no results, the information is either unavailable, non-published or has been removed for privacy reasons. For further assistance on "Reverse Phone" searches, go to http://www.whitepages.com/help/reverse_phone.

    WHICH IS THE LISTING FOR THE WHITE PAGES

    IT GAVE ME 5 PAGES OF RESULTS

  17. MrDin – 5 years ago

    Most land lines are available for name and address. But if cell phone will not be found and will direct to U S search and need to pay to reverse phone look up.

    Any website that free search for any phone... mostly nowaday is cell phone.

  18. JIM – 5 years ago

    I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON AN APPLICATION FOR CELL PHONES SO WHEN YOU TYPE IN THE CELL NUMBER NOT ONLY WILL IT GIVE YOU INFORMATION ON WHOS PHONE IT IS BUT IF THE PHONE IS ON IT WILL GIVE YOU A LOCATION OF THAT PHONE WITHIN 50 YARDS

  21. louise – 5 years ago

    Well! After reading some of these comments/responses I feel I have just wasted my time with this site. If anyone out in cyberspace has found a more accurate site with successful results, please e-mail me @ t.sw25@yahoo.com
    or if someone can get more info on unlisted landline cell #s with success , try finding this !##@%^ number 409-XXX-XXXX
    i've spent over 3 mths investigating that costed $$$$$$ , HELP! THE IMPORTANCE IS SUCH THAT I MAY LOOSE MY FRIGIN MIND!
    THANKS. LOUISE

    I have tried this website h
    http://developer.whitepages.com/docs/Methods/reverse_phone

    But I do not know how can I apply it to find out the address and the owner of this number 714 XXX XXXX. Please give me the instructions with all the steps which I can follow and use it to look for another numbers.

  23. FreakyPeanut56 – 5 years ago

    Just can't seem to get the hang of this...Ihave an API key, but where do I put it?

  24. Dan_WhitePages – 5 years ago

    FreakyPeanut56

    the API key goes in the URL like this
    api_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX;phone=2065551212

    See the documentation page here in the section 'Request Format'
    http://developer.whitepages.com/docs

    I would suggest using the main website for your single query rather than the API. There is a help page on how to use it located here:
