16. What is a CNA number?

CNA stands for Customer Name and Address. The CNA number is a phone number
for telephone company personnel to call and get the name and address for a
phone number. If a telephone lineman finds a phone line he does not
recognize, he can use the ANI number to find its phone number and then call
the CNA operator to see who owns it and where they live.
Normal CNA numbers are available only to telephone company personnel.
Private citizens may legally get CNA information from private companies.
Two such companies are:

Unidirectory    (900)933-3330
Telename        (900)884-1212

Note that these are 900 numbers, and will cost you approximately one dollar
per minute.
If you are in 312 or 708, AmeriTech has a pay-for-play CNA service
available to the general public. The number is 796-9600. The cost is
$.35/call and can look up two numbers per call.
If you are in 415, Pacific Bell offers a public access CNA service at
(415)781-5271.
