<p>I’m wondering if there is some way to find a cell phone number in the states? The search engines are frustrating.</p>
<p>I just got word that a dear friend is in the hospital with pneumonia, and I’d like to call his family. I realized that I only have their house number in the phone I have with me, and I’m sure there is no one at home.</p>
<p>I don’t think there is any cell phone directory that is free to the user, although there are on-line companies that do provide that service for a fee.</p>
<p>Google turned up these resources:

<p>Call the house and leave a message – they will likely pick up messages.
Call your friend’s cell number – family will likely answer.
If you know the hospital, send flowers to your friend with your phone number.
Try Facebook/Myspace.
Try googling your friend’s exact name with quotes.
Try googling your friend’s parent’s exact name with quotes.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help. It’s good to have some other heads thinking outside the box. I did leave messages with several folks. (Ironically, no one answered any of the phones I called, which is why I posted the earlier note.)</p>
<p>Finally got an email back from my BIL with the number. End result-- we had a great talk, all is going well, the antibiotics are doing their thing. So I can stop worrying, and go to bed (it’s late in Asia).</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
