Or perhaps you pulled a phone number out of a classified ad and would like to know the name of the person or business to whom it belongs. In cases like these, Telename operators need only a few seconds to find a name and address from a database of 74 million personal and business numbers. It's like an extended form of Caller ID -- one that you use only when needed, to save money. But unlisted numbers are not included, and new numbers can take up to a year to make their way into the database. You can call on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Eastern Time).
