How do you look up business phone numbers online?

Besides a general Internet search of a business, people looking for business phone numbers can find information through sites such as YellowBook.com and YellowPages.com. Yelp.com, BusinessJournals.com and the Better Business Bureau are other sources of business phone numbers.

A general Internet search yields customer contact information for a business, including phone numbers. If the business has a website, customers can navigate to that page. Many business websites feature a Contact Us page that gives customers numerous phone numbers for different types of issues. These numbers include extensions, if necessary.

YellowBook.com, YellowPages.com and Yelp.com all list business phone numbers. Typically the listings are categorized according to business type, such as restaurants or banks. Such websites also offer information such as business hours, address and location on a map. Websites such as Yelp.com also feature consumer reviews.

BusinessJournals.com offers similar information. However, users can navigate to pages that give full contact listings as well as descriptions of the business. If the business has a website, the page about that business includes a link.

The Better Business Bureau offers comprehensive information about businesses, including their customer and even corporate phone numbers. The Better Business Bureau also lists customer complaints to that business, the company's answer to that complaint and what, if any, resolution came from the complaint. Users can choose to view only businesses with clean records.
