Googling just gives pages and pages of SEO crap and scams. Any actual decent site to look up a number on?

[-] ArgentRaven@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

It used to give good info, maybe 10 years ago. And remember when everyone's number was in the phone book? Why isn't there an online version of that anymore? Not this "buy now" scam stuff.

There really ought to be a crowdsourced database. It could even use AP.

Yeah Google actually. If it's a legit number a business name will pop up the seo pages are all scam numbers

I believe Google and others purposely broke searching by a phone number. Many years ago I was able to even search by email. I don't think it is SEO, but after they blocked it, SEO is the only thing that remained.
