If you know someone’s telephone number,
you can search for his/her street address using:

Anywho - If you go to the "Reverse Lookup" choice in Anywho, you can try to find someone by his/her telephone number. You must know a person’s complete (10-digit) telephone number to try and find his/her street address using Anywho. Anywho does not require you to register with it to use its services: it earns money by selling advertising on its site. 

Infospace - Infospace’s "White Pages Reverse Lookup" choice lets you find someone by his/her telephone number. You can use a partial number or the complete number. The search will give you an address and a complete telephone number. You do not have to register with Infospace to use its services: it earns money by selling advertising and services on its website.

Reverse Phone Directory - lets you find someone by his/her telephone number. You must know the person’s full telephone number, which you will enter into a fill-in-the-blank field on-line. You have the choice of several search engines through this site, and you should try all of them. Reverse Phone Directory does not require you to register with it to use its services: it earns money by selling advertising on its website. This site also has a link to "Net Detective", which is not an on-line, for-pay search service, but a sales site for some software which does searches.

Switchboard - You must know the first seven digits of the telephone number of the person you are looking for. You will have to "plug" those seven numbers into fill-in-the-blank slots on-line to begin a search. If you also know the last four digits of the telephone number, you can use those digits as well. Switchboard does not require you to register with it to use its services: it earns money by selling advertising on its site. Switchboard also lets you connect to Classmates, a service which helps you locate people by their high school and which is described below.
