| | Finding an Address
Is it possible to find somebody's address from either their mobile telephone number, or post office box number. Thanks in advance.

Best you can do is doing an internet search on the mobile number, though the chance of anyone making their private mobile number public are (and should rightly be so) dim. Some non-crazy-security-freak people post it publically on their facebook pages.
There are search engines for fixed numbers such as this one: http://www.local.ch/
Never found one with mobile numbers.
Not totally sure what a post office box number is.
You met some girl last night? *wink* |

I would suggest asking the News of the World for advise, except they no longer exist.

Just remember that the Swiss recycle mobile phone numbers. The previous owner of mine is in deep trouble with a number of insurance companies, car dealerships, and mail order businesses, all mainly from the Arc Lemanique area.
These folks keep calling "my" number (which used to be his) trying to recover their money which is understandable, although they give up fairly quickly when I tell them I'm not from [that chap's country] and do so in English, or "imitation Swiss German" if they sound like a French native speaker.

Many thanks for all your replies. I have accessed all the sites suggested, but no luck I am afraid.
Just a long shot, is it possible to find an individual's address via their email address - the person uses Gmail.

Just google the e-mail address.
Most private people will not post this kind of information online, though, and that's how it should be...

Sounds a dodgy business if they have only a PO Box address, mobile number and gmail.
Are you expecting a payment from a recently deceased Nigerian politician?

The individual also has a Google map reference which shows that the person lives half way up the Weissehorn!

Am I missing something here? |

Never found one with mobile numbers. | | | | | Actually, that works for any mobiles listed in the phone book as well.
