Is it possible?

If so, how?

I have an address, and I want the phone number of that address - but it is ex-directory. So is there any way I can get hold of this info (legally please biggrin) ?

Break in, and phone your mobile from the landline.

The number will appear on your screen.

Not as Legal as I'd hoped.

Why? Because I don't want to have to travel 200 miles to see if they are in...

Find out the number of the people who live next door and just add/subtract one number from/to the last digit.

I have just had a similar problem, but as it was in a village was able to obtain it from someones local knowledge. Pubs and PO are usually quite helpful. Is it RES or Bus number?

Google the postcode, and you may get a phone number for a house nearby. Then phone them up and ask if the people at number 24 are in?

Look up the number for the house next door and just change the last digit, then the last 2 digits etc etc until they answer.

Apply for a job in MI5
breeze through the massive selection process
go through the screening checks
get accepted
work your way up the ranks a bit
get posted to a UK counter terrorism job
nominate that address as a potential terror threat

Bob's your uncle - all the info you need, including the ex-directory phone number.


Alternatively: don't be such a fking scary weirdo.
