Didnt know where to put this so move if necessary

I need to write a letter to someone but all I have is the landline number of the place I'm sending it to and the first name of the person. So I was wondering is there any way like calling directory enquiries or something giving them the information I have and then they can give me the rest of the details I need ?

(I'd rather not have to call the person to ask)

If it's a business, directory enquiries will give it to you. If not, no. It's private. Coudl google the number and hope you get lucky. Or ring it - he may answer the phone with his full name.

Ring directory enquiries and ask them if you give them the number can they give you the address?

Where To

Put on a funny voice and pretend to ne from Eircom or somewhere so they won't now it's you, and ask them to confirm their address.

I haven't had a landline in nearly six years. Them Sky TV babes, eh?

Sounds stalkish. If you end up murdering this person all the newspapers are going to blame online media for the rampage you're about to go on. You've ruined the internet for everyone. Hope you're happy with yourself.

Ring their local Domino's. Give them the phone number and hope that they say 'So you'd like it delivered to such and such?'

Castrated? Sorry to hear that....

Why don't you just ring the number and ask for the postal address, pretend you're posting a winners cheque or a prize for a competition.

And after six years of looking at numbers it'll turn out he's ex-directory.

OP, he just gave you his first name and his number for a reason, he doesn't want his wife seeing a valentines card from you.

the 1st couple of digits after the area code, usually correspond to a certain town,

could narrow it down to then & then randomly drive around there all night & look for him

yeah becausea all eircom staff talk in funny voices. I suggest using a welsh or scottish accent and while your at it ask for their bank account details just to make it more believable.

Ah jaysis...
There's probably a reason you only got a first name and a number.

It doesn't have to be completely random. It's not only the first two digits that are geographically significant. For instance on this list I know that 042 9378xxx is Inniskeen and 9376xxx is Riverstown.

So armed with a phone book look for numbers with the same first four digits and then ones closest the the range xxx in the last three. Could give a fairly narrow geographical location. After that a voters list could crack it.
