You can always ask your friend to give you their address if you need it for something, but that is not always something we want to do. There are times when we don't really know how to reach our friend, or we want to surprise them with something. If you are planning something and you need a lot of addresses at once, calling each person one at a time can be very time consuming. It might be easier for you to use the Internet to get what you need much more quickly.

Some addresses are harder to find then others, but those that have listed landline numbers are the easiest to find. All you have to do is to go to the online white pages. Once there, all you have to do is to enter the name of your friend to see if their address comes up with their number. In most cases, that works with listed numbers. You can narrow down the hits you get by entering state or town. Instead of 500 Joe Smiths coming up, you may only get one or two when you do that.

You may find that social and professional networks can help you out with address. If you live in an area that has a lot of different towns crammed together, you may not be sure in which your friend's house resides. You can go to social networks to see what town is listed for them, though you rarely find the address that way. For a full address, you may have more luck through professional networks, as people post addresses there for reasons of networking with other professionals in their field.

You may also want to see what you can find through the regular searches you get through Yahoo, MSN or Google. You simply enter your friend's name and location (if known) to see if you can get an address that way. You may also want to use the news and blog search options, as these are also great places to find some addresses.

Another options is the reverse cell phone tracer. You can use this if you have someone's cell phone number. You may see that their names comes up with the number, and you may also see that you get an address. Sometimes, there are the best places to find those addresses, but searching all options is certainly a good idea.
