I have never had to pay to fine someone's phone number or address online if they were listed in their local phone book.  If they are asking you to pay it could be that they have an unlisted number so no they won't come up on any site for free in that case.  Mary

Ok perhaps you are correct. But Verizon does not own whitepages.com that I know of. But most everything I look up shows they want money. Most cell phones.

Also Verizon is looking into the issue of the broken web tools.

Oh cell phone numbers won't show at all, you would have to pay to get those but home phone numbers as long as they are in their local phone book you can just google the number or the name and address and it will come up. 

 Now in my case we used to be in the local phone book 20 some years but we dropped the landline and had that number ported to my cell.  Then a few months after that I noticed we could not be found online anymore and we are not in the local phone book.  I supposed I could do something about that by calling the phone book and adding us but I left it be.  Mary

I did point out the issue regarding the tools, and it is being investigated.by Verizon employees. But an ETA for getting it fixed or exactly how it is broke is up in the air. But yes Verizon should have that feature working somewhere.

The website is there, but no longer performs lookups.  http://www22.verizon.com/Residential/Support/Look+Up+Tools/

This is a valuable resource for Verizon's customers and it should be restored.  The web search alternatives are pricey data aggregators who want to sell me public records searches and personal information rather than just providing a neighbor's phone number.

I have never paid by googling to look up a listed number.  Is this tool special in that it will give you  unlisted numbers?  Wouldn't see the point in that since people pay to have their number unlisted and I for one would be mad.  Mary

How are we to look up a phone number these days?  The link (http://www

22.verizon.com/supportsearch/)

 above brings you to a :: run around

"We are not able to process your request. To continue, please select one of the following options:

• Return to the previous page.
• View the verizon.com site map.

I still don't understand what is so special about this tool that you can't look up a listed number on google, bing, white pages or any number of sites, would someone please explain.  Mary

Did you know: I can pay $150 a day to get a dump of all the Wireless traffic from a cell phone tower of my choice for a provider without any question? What's the point of encryption if I could simply pay to get data?

But that is true. For unlisted numbers you probably do have to pay if there are paid sites out there that index unlisted numbers. Even then, I've had plenty of luck using http://wp.superpages.com/ . Verizon's tool is at: http://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/phone/homephone/general+support/support+tools/general/1...
