Try the following strategies on how to get a person's name when all you have is the phone number:
- Call the number and see if you can get the recorded voice mail.
It might state the full name of the owner. - Have a friend call the number and see if they can get the information either from the voice mail or from whomever answers.
- Look the number up on the internet both with the area code and without.
If the owner of that phone number has used their number online anywhere, you might get lucky and find their name, if not their address and perhaps their employer. - Use free online reverse directories to get the registered name and address for land line phone numbers.

Since there is no public directory of cell phone listings, you won't be able to find a reverse directory for free.
Only specialized companies have been able to collect this data but they have made it available to consumers.
There's usually a one time fee or a charge per number investigated, but it's relatively inexpensive.
