How to Use Social Networking Sites to Find Someone's Telephone Number

Evangeline Bruce
If you´re online, the odds are pretty good that you´ve either visited a social networking site or that you even have your profile posted there. This is because social networking sites have exploded in their popularity over the last few years. They give people across the globe the opportunity to connect with people they know, people they don´t yet know, and people they used to know, but had lost touch with.

Though there are two primary social networking websites, Facebook and MySpace, there are lots of others popping up everywhere and gaining their own popularity within their niches. Furthermore, people are discovering that social networking sites work very well in conjunction with reverse phone lookup sites to give them the chance to update their address books, and send their mail to the right addresses.

To be able to use a social networking site to find someone´s number and then use that number to find their address, use the following steps:

Step 1 – Visit a social networking site where you believe your friend or family member may have a profile.

Step 2 – Register with that website, even if it is only a basic profile. You will need a profile registered later if you wish to access the profile of your friend or family member.


Step 3 – Once you´re registered, use the search feature of the site and enter the first and last name of the person you´re looking for, or choose from one of the additional searching options to narrow your query. Depending on the social networking site, you may be able to search using an email address, a city, a high school, a college, or similar profile information.

Step 4 – If you find the person you´re seeking, make sure that you´re signed in to the social networking website and send that person a request to gain access to his or her profile. Though you will be able to see that the person has a profile, you won´t be able to see any details until he or she grants you permission.

Step 5 – Once you have permission to view your friend or family member´s profile, you can check to see if there is a telephone number listed there.

You can then find out more about a phone number such as the person´s address, at a reverse phone lookup site by typing the number into the query field and clicking "search".
