how can i get an unlisted phone number

Hi walt6969-ga,

There is no easy, free way to obtain an unlisted telephone number. 
However, several services offer to lookup unlisted numbers for a fee:

"American Unlisted Phone Numbers"
http://www.american-unlisted-phone-numbers.com/

This site charges $69 to lookup an unlisted number.  Here is a quote
from their homepage:
"We provide unlisted phone number retrieval and related services to
individuals, attorneys and other professionals daily. We provide a
confidential & personal service not found elsewhere. Please do not
hesitate to contact us before ordering any search. We want you to be
perfectly comfortable about who you are dealing with."

"Phone Trace"
http://www.phone-trace.com/

This site charges $85 to look up unlisted numbers.

"AMERICANADA Information Broker"
http://www.americanada.com/

This site charges $45 to look up unlisted numbers.

"Tracing America Searches"
http://www.tracingamerica.com/phone.htm

This site charges $65 to lookup unlisted numbers.  A quote from their
site:
"You have come to the right company for your unlisted phone numbers
searches! Tracing America knows how to provide accurate information
quickly and privately at affordable prices. Turnaround time on most
searches is from one to three business days. We guarantee our searches
to be current and accurate or no charges will apply!"

SEARCH STRATEGY:

I searched for the following terms on Google

Find Unlisted Numbers -
://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=find+unlisted+numbers

Unlisted Phone Numbers -
://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=unlisted+phone+numbers

I would also suggest taking a look at the above search links - there
are a tremendous number of sites offering this service - it would be
impossible to list them all here!

I hope this information is of assistance to you,
