Whitepages free people search service allows you to enter a name and quickly find phone numbers, addresses, relatives, and additional public records.
Searching for someone's phone number or address by name online can sometimes be a little challenging, especially if that person has a common name. You'll likely find it even more challenging to find someone's cell phone number.
One of the most popular ways to find contact information by name is to perform a people search or use a people finder to search white pages information. A true people search is a public records search that relies on a user entering a person’s name in order to generate a list of matching records.
Whitepages helps people reconnect, send cards, find owners of lost pets, verify identities, check backgrounds, feel safer, find neighbors, and make better decisions. In addition, we help businesses prevent fraud, vet and verify identities, and stay in contact with customers.

However not all data is created equal or available for free. Across the industry, it's always a challenge to deliver the most accurate data while at the same time providing a broad reach covering the entire United States population. There are unfortunately sometimes data gaps, and some companies and websites are better at filling those gaps than others. Whitepages is constantly refining our data to bring you the most accurate, true, and broad reaching data as possible, and we've been perfecting our capabilities since 1997. Some data changes more frequently, while other data is more challenging to find and ensure accuracy. This leads to the reason why you will find some contact data for free, while other data comes at a cost, like cell phone numbers.
As a general rule, you can expect to find most people's true current address and landline phone number for free on Whitepages. And in general, you’ll find relatives and associates for free too. This data is often referred to as basic contact information or basic data. Basic contact information is very similar to the data that’s been published in white pages phone books for years.
Over the years data, technology, and forms of communication have expanded and evolved. We now have cell phones, email addresses, and social media profiles. This new data and enhanced contact information along with criminal records, property data, and background reports fall into a category often referred to as premium data or premium contact information. This premium data comes at a cost as it takes more time and resources to ensure its breadth and accuracy.
Access to premium contact information and background checks is often available for a one time fee or at a discount when users have a subscription. Whitepages Premium offers both one time access as well as monthly subscriptions for premium data.
Unlike many of our competitors, Whitepages provides true basic contact information for free (landline phone numbers and current addresses). Plus, Whitepages gives you the option to quickly purchase premium data, including cell phone numbers, and background checks when you need them. We don’t make you wait in long lines or waste your time with long sales pitches. We believe you have the right to perform a true people search and quickly get what you want, and that belief applies to both basic contact information and premium data.
