Is there a better alternative to whitepages?

Hi everyone, I've been doing some research on people finding/reverse phone number websites and it seems that White Pages has the best reviews. I'm planning on using it for cold calling so the premium all access package with a 200 contact info limit is simply not enough. I am aware that there is an option for 1000 contact info per month but it is out of my budget. Can anyone recommend any other similar websites or a way around this limitation within white pages? Thank you.

Use a site like batchleads or propstream.

I've shopped around with a bunch of different skip tracers and what I've landed on for residential is using MLS data (Realist or Remine) or local County data to pull the lists. We personally pull our specific criteria lists for residential tear downs for development from Remine and Realist (We have access to both as licensed realtors in NJ for free). Make sure to pull the mailing address as well because for tenant occupied properties that helps to get the owners phone number.

We then put this list into BatchLeads Skip Tracing for $0.09 a lead, and can bulk skip trace. The numbers are pretty accurate across the board, but no skip tracer will be 100% perfect. We then import the batch leads lists into MojoDialer and use the TripleLine Dialer to call them.

For commercial property I would strongly recommend using Reonomy as that seems to be industry standard. Skip tracing LLCs in bulk can be time consuming, and Reonomy can pull lists of 1000s of whatever asset class and criteria you’re trying to call.

Spokeo is the "best" cheap option, but still maybe only 40% reliable. A pro account at DealMachine comes with skip tracing on all properties, that might be your best bet with a budget.

For agent cold-calling, look up Mojo. That is the best dialer with good data on expired, etc.
