No Whois Lookup for 800 #s

People often come to our site trying to track down the owner of a number, but unfortunately there isn’t any whois lookup to see the owner a toll free number. We have the phone company information for most numbers but they are the only ones that have the customer information.

You can subscribe to our advanced lookup and get the phone company information. That doesn’t guarantee you’re going to be able to get the customer information from the phone company. In fact there’s a very good chance you WON’T be able to get the customer information from the phone company, especially if you ask them for it.

That doesn’t mean you can’t get the phone company to slip and reveal some of that information. It’s not easy to do, but I generally find that the best way is to act like it’s your number. Call them up and ask why its not working. See if they will give you a little information in order to confirm it’s your account. Say yes and look up the city here they’re located and see if you can get that too. It may take several calls, and you need to write down the names of the people you talk to, but you can sometimes get the customer name and the city they’re in, which is usually all you need to track them down.

    We don’t have the secure lookup any more. We’re working on a new system for registered users to give out this information for FREE.

                Bill, Gloria and Rita,

                Thank you so much for your help. After researching vanity numbers and being unsuccessful at finding one available, I contacted Tollfreenumbers.com. At that time the specific number I wanted was NOT available. Bill told me he would keep trying to get it for me. A few months later I received an email from tollfreenumbers.com that they successfully acquired the phone number for me! Thanks for your hard work and perseverance. We really appreciate it.PULASKI & MIDDLEMAN, L.L.C.

                Sincerely,

                David Middleman

                I received my toll free birth cert and other info, thanks. It was a pleasure to deal with a real person and company that makes recommendations based on need not how much money does the customer have in their pocket. I will definitely refer you.

                BTW, if you have any other toll free numbers that will also be a benefit let me know I'll buy them. Can never have too many numbers.

                Thanks,
