Assuming you want to find someone's telephone number... you can use an online directory.

These directories are generally 'country specific' -but there may not be directories for all people of some countries. And, for various reasons, some people's telephone numbers may not be listed.

Steps...

# Use an internet search engine, such as Google.

# search for 'USA telephone directory', (or enter whatever country you require) # You will be shown a number of directories. Click on one that you think might help you, and

# enter the person's name and any information you have about where they live (otherwise you might get thousands of possible numbers, and you won't know which one is the one you want!) Sometimes the directories will give you additional information about the person so that you can tell if it is the person you were looking for.

[We have tested this suggestion by choosing a country at random, and using their directory look-up, entered a colleague's name and a random city. We found that were a number of people in that place who have the same name or similar ones, as our colleague! The directory listed everyone that matched, showing full address and telephone numbers.] NOTE

* Directory information is provided for legitimate use only

* When calling, take due account of time zone differences

* Nuisance calls are criminal offenses

* Telecoms companies keep records of all calls

Internet Addiction information?

Internet addiction is described as an impulse control disorder which does not involve use of an intoxicating drug and is very similar to pathological gambling. * Preoccupation with the Internet. (Thoughts about previous on-line activity or anticipation of the next on-line session.) * Use of the Internet in increasing amounts of time in order to achieve satisfaction. * Repeated, unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop Internet use. * Feelings of restlessness, moodiness, depression or irritability when attempting to cut down use of the Internet. * On-line longer than originally intended. * Jeopardized or risked loss of significant relationships, job, educational or career opportunities because of Internet use. * Lies to family members, therapist, or others to conceal the extent of involvement with the Internet. * Use of the Internet as a way to escape from problems or to relieve a dysphoric mood. (e.g., feelings of hopelessness, guilt, anxiety, depression.) Internet addiction results in personal, family, academic, financial and occupational problems that are characteristic of other addictions. Impairment of real life relationships are disrupted as a result of excessive use of the internet. Internet addicts spend more time in solitary seclusion and spend less time with real people in their lives. Arguments may result due to the volume of time spent on-line. Internet addicts may attempt to conceal the amount of time spent on-line, which results in distrust and the disturbance of quality in once stable relationships. Financial problems may occur due to the significant amount of time spent on-line and the service provider charges. Common financial issues are large bills for use of some services, the telephone connection charges and telephone bills for calls made to ?friends̠in chat rooms. Other financial charges may include a connection with compulsive spending/shopping. Internet addicts may choose to shop on-line and credit card charges for purchases may become high. Also, a connection with gambling exists with the availability of on-line casinos. Some internet users may develop an emotional attachment to on-line friends and activities they create on their computer screens. Internet users may enjoy aspects of the internet that allow them to meet, socialize and exchange ideas through the use of chat rooms or "virtual communities". These communities allow the person the means to escape from reality and seek out means to fulfill unmet emotional and psychological needs, which are more intimate and less threatening than real life relationships. Some Internet addicts may also create on-line personas where they are able to alter their identities and pretend to be someone other than themselves.The highest risk for creation of a secret life are those who suffer from low self esteem, feelings of inadequacy, and fear of disapproval from others. Such negative self concepts lead to clinical problems of depression. There is help for Internet Addiction. The Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery at Proctor Hospital provides assessment and treatment services for the Internet addict. Counselors trained in the identification and treatment of Internet addiction provide professional assessments to determine if addiction to the Internet exists and placement into a level of care for treatment.
