looking for friend

smartcom · Jul 13th, 2007, 15:26

Hello

My name is Anton and I'm from Slovenia. Like few months ago I had a visit from India, very nice guy, no doubt about it. He gave me his phone number which I saved in my mobile phone but it was stolen.

Now can I somehow get his phone number or even better his home address, because I want to send him some of our cultural monuments (which he forgot to take) and I can't contact him. He's more technology guy and we talked and I think he mentioned that he's using tuta or tata service provider or something like that. Do they have phonebook with home or his office address.

I know that I'm new, but Google didn't give me any results, so I decided to maybe ask if somebody has a phonebook - if there is any. If there is, then I'll give his name and surname...

Thanks, bye

ps: Really nice forum, a lot of useful info around here

Friendly moderator suggestion: If people can help out, please keep the actual personal details to private communication using the site's "PM" (Private Message) system, as explained in the FAQ.

Thanks.

was he working for tata consultancy services? if yes, i think we can get the information. i am sure we will have at least one member who works for that company

smartcom · Jul 13th, 2007, 15:38

no he's just using that service provider. Because during his visit I was setting up my internet because I changed provider and somehow he mentioned this... I thought it might be useful

That means he was using TATA Indicom...a major service provider in India..

but again, which city or state did that person belong to..

smartcom · Jul 13th, 2007, 15:46

wow, some progress...

he lives in kolkata

Prashant.M · Jul 13th, 2007, 15:49

Mobile/cell phone companies do not publish phone-books or directories. Maybe another approach would be to post your friend's city. Then if some member responds, you can PM him the personal details of your friend. If your friend is from Bangalore, then I volunteer to give it a try.

<added later>
Wow threads on IM move fast. Let's see if someone from Kolkata responds.

machadinha · Jul 13th, 2007, 15:53

I've moved this to Kolkata forum now. Let us know if somewhere else is preferred

If you have spelled his name wrongly then google search may not help much.[like Tuta Telecom

] You can PM any of us Indians here to verify if you have got the spelling of the name correct.

You can also try making a search in BSNL Directory. BSNL is the main non-private service provider and maybe your friend has an old BSNL telephone connection at home.

btw Calcutta is Kolkata.

Does India have a publicly available electoral roll where all registered voters are listed?

yeah a list of 1.1 Billion people..out of them atleast (at a safe bet) 600 million voters...

Such an easy list to publish..

Shark · Jul 18th, 2007, 06:56

Sarcasim is such a wonderful virtue. Given that we know this person is in Kolkata it reduces your 600 million considerably. I would be interested to know shashank's plan of attack.

in you post you asked about India and not Kolkatta...

There is no plan of action, however go to www.Tataindicom.com and take the number of customer care in kolkatta and call them directly and talk to them..they might be able to help out..

kolkata electoral roll/voter list

http://ceowestbengal.nic.in/AcNoMatr...district_id=11

unfortunately, it seems to be areawise, not consolidated. But still searchable within each area.

Nick-H · Jul 18th, 2007, 11:11

That's amazing!

But very, very many people in India are not registered voters. A voter's card, like a ration card, is a pretty precious thing and can be hard or impossible to get. Democracy in name... (but that's a whole other topic).
