Listen, the service was useful and helpful and affordable. The only con is that you have to make sure, if it's being used once only, that you cancel before too long since it seems the auto-renew default option can bite you. That said, I want to say that on emailing customer support they were VERY prompt and helpful which I really appreciate. If I needed to, I would use them again and just be a little more vigilant.

Excess fees
February 25, 2022

I joined for the annual membership. Evidently, this is just a "membership fee". Obtaining any information is an extra charge! Cancelling membership is another runaround. Scammers!

White pages has my cell phone listed for someone else and they won't remove it from the fraudulent listing because I am not the account holder.

I talked to customer support and they say I can't do anything to rectify the situation.

Stay far, far away.
January 25, 2022

Expect multiple charges of $5, $10, or $20. I signed up for $20, and the background check that should have come with that was charged separately. I got a message saying my additional background check already paid for would expire, so I used the credit and was charged $4.99 im disputing the charges. Stay away from this group.

BACKGROUND CHECK
November 30, 2021

I paid for a background check but they won't let me get to it. They insist I upgrade! Why would they keep it from me if they weren't shady?

Omg wow shocking
November 26, 2021

I had a paid account in 2014 to advertise a business with them. I realised they were incompetent so I didn't continue. They sent a bill to the debt collector $237 which remains unpaid.
The service is lame, the customer service is 4th rate at best.
Do not WASTE your money with white pages advertising. Go do your business cards etc. Get your name out there by yourself.

Address Changes
November 18, 2021

I spent $19.00 and was told a person had a new address. I went to check, and the address had not changed. Whitepages said if I needed more information I would have to spend another 20.00. Complete rip off with VERY little information.

Pure SCUM! DO NOT USE!
October 30, 2021

Do not use these knuckle dragging, spamming cowards. I wouldn't spit on one of their coward employees if the human sewage was on fire, begging for relief- unless I had a mouthful of gasoline. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH ANY INFORMATION! THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU! (I. E. MONTHLY FAKE CHARGES, ETC.)

Beware strangers bearing gifts. Whitepages is useless. I was double charged for a year and only had one complete address & phone number after two years.

Do not waste your money
September 8, 2021

It it stated for the one time price you can get access to everything property owning who's got his associates criminal the whole thing and yeah when you pay them the $10 they don't give you anything but his address which they give you prior to that. So unless you join them for regular monthly payments, you won't receive any pertinent information! So don't waste your money. Very dissatisfied should have checked this out prior to painting them. My bad

WhitePages = NotPages
August 30, 2021

Will also place this review on Google and SiteJabber. Spent the $10 for a basic report; gave me out of date landlines, no mobile phones (there were three) and almost nothing about family members. Worth about $1 to confirm what I already knew. Will not use them again.

Out of 7 of my persona landline and cell phone/phone numbers... NOT ONE came up with the right information! I have had my personal landline number for 42 years and the information provided (search) is TOTALLY incorrect! Found the number but everything else associated with it is not accurate, beginning with the name! BEWARE! You cannot rely on the information is spits back at you! I chose 1 star ONLY because a 0 is not available!

Need of updating
July 19, 2021

It seems that whitepages.com Can NOT get their information on people CORRECTLY to the point that It is a pain in the butt to prove your Information 100%... Take 30 days to get back to you in order to correct your Name address, home phone# Cell phone # ect. That pure BULLS##T! White pages needs better customer service than that!

A few years ago I tried to find information about my dad who died when I was 6. I paid and didn't get any information I didn't already have. Ok fine. But I've been getting new address and criminal alerts as if he's still alive. So they're sending me alerts and trying to charge for misleading and inaccurate information

I used to really enjoy this site. All I need is a quick reverse phone search to determine who called. Their new format requires that I log out and back in again after searching the number. There isn't even a way to simply log out and back in again before the search. Every search sends me to an "upgrade for more money" page. What used to take a couple of seconds now takes a couple of minutes and I'm PAYING for this headache.

Total scam
May 16, 2021

I paid $10.29 and was charged another $1.50 for I have no idea what. Then ya have to pay extra for a report on someone. Why? That's BS, not to mention inaccurate information and definitely nothing up to date and current. All old info.
