Address from Phone Number?

[[GSV]Trig]

Hypothetically speaking if someone owed someone else money and they knew the other person's phone number could you then find out there address from that phone number?

There was this thread not long ago, I cant remember what the outcome was though

No, is the short answer. The only people with the ability to do that are the operators who own the customer. For example, when I worked at Orange, if the police needed info on a customer, they had to fax through a form signed by at least an Inspector (if I remember correctly) before Orange would release the customer's name and address.

Doesn't matter, the same rules apply. Data Protection Act covers it, I believe.

Get someone else to ring up and tell them they are entitled to a free promotional case of wine from Opodo, asking them to confirm their address and their preferred delivery time, am or pm.

Then go round and smash their legs or threaten to drown them in their bath.

I'm not a lawyer and make no warrant as to the legality of the above

I looked on the net for you, but am unable to include the info on this post..
In the yahoo address bar I typed: ''find an address from a known phone number''
I think the one you want was about the fourth or fifth down

It can help you if its in the US or Canada,

If in the UK maybe you be able to get a 'hint' of your options from what info you can pick up from the given website..

Hope this helps...

No you cannot, unless you know someone working at their provider. Or a mate in the police force that owes you a favour.

Thanks for that. Made me laugh out loud.

To the OP: If you know of any journalists they should be able to get the address for you. But it could cost you £50 or so. There's no free way on the internet.
