Company Research & Contact Info
A quick word about phone directories on the Internet: almost all are incomplete when compared to the phone book; and many of these sites use all kinds of tricks and gadgets to try to get money out of you. Don't fall for it; if you can't find the information you want for free, try another site, or another approach. Don't reach for your wallet at the first sign of frustration.
Yellow.com
This is the best of the Internet Yellow Pages (or white pages, for that matter). From a single form, you can search the Smart Pages, Yellow.com, YP.com, DexOnline, AreaGuides, and Yahoo!'s directory listings. Results are returned more consistently (and accurately) here, than any of the others that I tried. There's also a zip- and area code lookup database, with links to maps, services, etc. You can also find people, as the site has a section for White Pages look-ups at www.yellow.com/white.html. Other pages exist for doing reverse number look-ups and address searches, as well as looking for people on the Web
YellowPages
Yellowpages.com and Yellow.com are different sites. What one lacks the other may have.
Addresses.Com
Another excellent resource. In addition to finding people and businesses, there are reverse email and phone lookups, links to public records, and a database of mailing and email addresses for many celebrities; so if you want a job as Madonna's hairdresser
Canada 411
Business listings for Canada. You can search by City, Province, Type of Business, or Name of Business.
