WhitePages Mobile integrates seamlessly with the BlackBerry smartphone functions that people use most. Users can easily add or update contacts with WhitePages listing data, or identify unknown callers directly from the call history.

In a nod to the needs of the professional user, a new Company Search feature provides instant access to phone numbers and addresses for over 40 million professional contacts - with no ‘friending' or account setup required.

Priced at $6.99 for six months of service, WhitePages Mobile makes it easy for users to:

  • Identify who is calling or texting. Look up unknown numbers or search directly from the phone's call history to connect a name with a number, including hard to find mobile and unpublished numbers.
  • Link with business associates. Search by company to get work phone and address for important business contacts in seconds.
  • Lookup people and businesses by category or name. Get phone numbers and addresses including driving directions and maps to your destination.
  • Keep contacts up to date. Add WhitePages listings directly to contacts, update existing contacts with full address details, or send and share by email.
  • View results any time. No need to search again -- recent searches are saved for easy access, on or off the network
