Yes that's how I understood it - I never did it that way I used the website.

>One more question, if you don't mind. They say "text any number to 566587." Do I understand that I would text from my cell phone to this number 566587 a line that would be just the number I am interesed? E.g. "9999999999" ?

>>That's one of the ones I've used in the past - they have a $2.99/month unlimited plan too. Their data can be somewhat dated at times but its better than nothing I suppose...ha

>>>I understand I have to pay. I don't mind paying, reasonably. I found a site WhitePages that is "supposedly" will give me the information for $1.99 if I text to them. The price is very reasonable. But I am concern of them charging much more if they get my text. I have never done it before.
