phonebook:###-###-####

I just found this cool feature. If you want to find a phone numbers identity, just type 'phonebook:###-###-####' (replacing the #'s with the phone number) in google and search. If the phone number's listed, it will return the names and addresses of the person or company. Am I just that far behind on what's going on at Google or is this new to others as well?

 

not trying to hate, but welcome to 2005... You don't need to type phonebook in front... Just type out the full number...

 

nice..never used GG for that

 

it does require you to type phonebook as prefix, or else it just gives u normal results.

Secondly its not working for me. I tried looking up on my office number and some other numbers didnt return any results

 

If we type ''lucky number:######'', we can get lottery number for tomorrow and everyone can get rich! Yippee...

Cheers!

try typing :

"Pamela Anderson:hotline" replace any name with pamela...you might get lucky

 

The phone number has to be listed. If it's a private number it won't show up.

 

It only works for the United States phone number.

 

its quite an old feature...

i use it very rarely..

 

wow,i'm suprised. i have learned this for the first time

i think , it's for only usa ?

 

i seriously knew about this in 2004 and you don't need to put phonebook. just enter the number and if it is listed it shows up.

 

as far as i know it's only US LISTED numbers. Basically it uses the same technology as GOOG-411.

Glad to know I'm not the first that knew about this back in the day, but I get neg repped for stating that...

 

Got to give that a try sometime!
