Would appreciate it if some one could give me a lead on finding a reverse directory on CD-rom.

Many thanks

I use Phone Search USA by DeLorme. I got it at Best Buy for 27.99. It does it all, it even can do a radius search from a particuler address and print out the addresses you want onto Avery Labels. I think it works great for me.

Don’t PAY for it, it is online FREE - Posted by Jim IL

There is a website that does phone number searches, by name and/or number.
It is free and uses all the MAJOR websites with that service involved.
Here is the URL:
http://www.theultimates.com/white/

It is called, “The Ultimate White pages”.
All the sites you have ever seen, used or heard of can be access simultaneously here. It uses a JAVA applet to input your data to all the searches at once.
Hope this helps,
Jim

P.S. I am a P.I. and use this daily.

Check this out! - Posted by BRnBA

If you feel you need a CD Rom…Phone Disc PowerFinder Pro is hands down the best. It is the choice of most PI’s, or at least was until searching the net came of age. There is also some software called PhoneFerret you can download for free at www.winfiles.com that will search every phone book available on the internet in one simple search. I’m not sure if it will reverse search though, check it out for yourself. When you get to winfiles just search for PhoneFerret…it’s in there.

I purchased one at Best Buy for $30.00. It’s called “104 Million Businesses & Households Phone Book”. You can search by an individuals name or business name. Or you can reverse search by phone number. I have had about 75% success rate with the reverse search.
Make sure you get the 1999 edition. It has 40% more entries than the 1998 edition. It comes in a yellow box and is made by CD-USA.
Good Luck

Bill,

There are several out there… differing largely in price. You can us Powerfinder Phone disk to do a reverse search. Also… City Directory makes a Criss-cross directory… as doe Polks. I think both of these have CD versions.

There are also Tax Assessors roles on CD that will accomplish the same thing and more. These can be fairly expensive. Experian and DataQuick are two names that come to mind. Also First American Real Estate Solutions.

You can probably find all of these online via a good search.

Best of RealEstateSuccess!

Do any of these products allow you to build an address label sheet by adding one reverse search on top of another? For instance, if I want to build a list from the “for rent” ads in the paper? Thanks…
