On-line
There are a number of search engines that allow you to type in what information you know, such as the person's name or their address, and get their number. Google's Local service and Microsoft Bing integrate their business sections with their search engines, but there are also more phone-specific services like whitepages.com and yellowpages.com, the on-line portals for the ubiquitous phone books. Numbers in foreign countries can be found using Numberway.com.
By phone
Dialing 411 will still get you directory service, but this will come with a service charge. Several companies have created free directory services, integrating their on-line searches.
1-800-FREE-411 : A free directory service supported by phone advertisements.
1-800-GOOG-411 : Google Local
1-800-BING-411 : Microsoft Bing
Finding Cell Phone Numbers
Cell phone numbers are protected by privacy laws, and are not normally included in directories unless the owner has purposely published their number. There are pay services that will look up these numbers, but they use the same public information.
