Finding Phone Numbers on LinkedIn: Manual and Automated Methods
Here are some of the best ways to find phone numbers on LinkedIn, including manual and automated methods:
Manual Methods
1. Checking Contact Info:
This is the most straightforward approach. On a LinkedIn profile, look for the "Contact Info" section under the profile picture. If the user has chosen to make their phone number public, it will be displayed here.
2. Advanced Search:
Use LinkedIn's advanced search functionalities to narrow down your search and find people in specific industries, locations, or companies. While phone numbers won't appear directly in search results, you can connect with these individuals and then check their "Contact Info" section.
🚩 Limitation with manual methods- Only a small number of folks share their phone numbers openly. About 5% share their phone numbers with their 1st-degree connections and a tiny 0.5% share it with 2nd or 3rd-degree connections.

Some Important Considerations While Finding Phone Numbers
- Respect User Privacy: Not everyone chooses to share their phone number on LinkedIn. It's crucial to respect user privacy and avoid using aggressive tactics to find private contact information.
- Data Accuracy: Automated tools and web searches may provide inaccurate or outdated information. Always double-check the validity of any phone number before using it.
- LinkedIn Terms of Service: Be mindful of LinkedIn's terms of service. Scraping data or using unauthorized methods to extract information can violate their policies and lead to account suspension.
