Pricing and choosing a provider
Directory service prices and practices vary. This section explains what determines the price and what options are available.
How much does number search cost?
Directory service prices vary a lot between providers. 16500.fi offers name, number and address search at a clear, fixed price per message, with no hidden fees. The price always includes the reply sent straight to your phone by SMS. See current prices at www.16500.fi/en/number-search.
Is there a free number search?
There's no completely free and comprehensive number search, because the data comes from up-to-date, supervised sources. Some limited information can be found online, but its reliability and accuracy vary, especially for private persons' contact details.
The 16500.fi services are paid, but they provide data from official sources without registration, hidden fees or apps.
What's the difference between the 16500 services?
16500.fi offers three contact search services:
- Name search, when you want to know who a number belongs to
- Number search, when you have a name but need the phone number
- Address search, when you want to know a person's or company's address
All services work for both private persons and companies.
16500.fi also offers license plate search by SMS and the online vehicle search.
What is the best directory service?
When choosing a directory service, pay attention to its speed, price, Finnish origin and how up to date its data is.
Reliable directory services get their data from up-to-date, supervised sources. The provider usually displays its customer service contact details, clear terms of use and pricing information.
16500.fi is a fully Finnish service with clear prices, no hidden fees and no registration. Based on feedback and user experience, 16500 is often seen as an easy and reliable choice – especially when you need a search quickly and on the go.
