How To Get Phone Numbers From LinkedIn: 3 Methods That Work (77%+ Find Rate)

Run a list of LinkedIn profiles through lemlist’s phone finder and you get a verified number back for 77% of them on average. That number comes from a waterfall that checks 14+ data providers one after the other instead of betting on a single database. Meanwhile, most sales teams are still refreshing their inbox, waiting on a reply that never comes. Your competitors already have the number. They’re calling.

In this guide, I’ll show you the three ways to get phone numbers from LinkedIn: a Chrome extension that pulls numbers while you browse, the manual route straight off a profile, and the data extractor route with a comparison of the main tools in the category. I’ll also cover what you’re allowed to do with that data, and what to say once someone picks up.

How To Get Phone Numbers From LinkedIn Extension

The top performing sales teams don’t wait on replies. They call.

It’s no secret in 2026: leads are drowning in cold emails. AI made it worse. Nobody wants to read a “personalized” sequence that reads like it was written by a machine, because it was.

A phone call cuts through that. It builds a trust-based relationship and lifts the ROI of your campaigns.

Here’s how to get the numbers so you can reach prospects first. The extension runs waterfall enrichment in the background, so you’re not relying on one database to have the right number.

1. 1.

   Download and install the free Chrome extension

2. 2.

   Search for leads on LinkedIn

3. 3.

   Check “Find phone”

4. 4.

   Select the campaign to push the leads to

5. 5.

   Hit “Push # leads to this campaign”

6. 6.

   Leads and their phone numbers appear in lemlist

How To Get Phone Numbers From LinkedIn Manually

You can find a phone number manually from a LinkedIn profile. It’s free and it takes about twenty seconds per prospect.

That’s also the problem. Not every member shares a phone number. Privacy settings hide the ones who do share but restrict visibility. Doing this in bulk eats your morning. And the number sitting on a profile may be three jobs old.

Find your lead’s phone number on LinkedIn in 3 steps:

1. 1.

   Type the name of the person you’re looking for in the search bar

2. 2.

   Go to the LinkedIn profile and open Contact Info

3. 3.

   Read their contact details, including the phone number

When it works, it’s great. Time to call and book meetings. ⚡

One thing worth knowing before you dial. Anything you see in that panel was put there by the member, who can edit or delete it at any time through LinkedIn’s Contact Info settings, per LinkedIn’s Help Center. Visible does not mean unrestricted: if your prospect is in the EU, GDPR still applies to how you store that number, what you use it for, and how fast you delete it when someone asks. Keep a lawful basis documented, honor opt-outs on the first request, and source your data from providers that can show where it came from. That’s the standard lemlist’s enrichment is built to meet.

Find Phone Numbers on LinkedIn With Data Extractors

LinkedIn data extractors collect information about your leads in bulk. They pull phone numbers and fill the gaps in your contact database with fresher data than a profile page will give you.

1. Datagma

Datagma extracts phone numbers from LinkedIn profiles in batches.

Upload a list of profile URLs, let it run, and download the numbers when the job finishes. You don’t sit and watch it work, which is the whole point: the lookup happens on their side while you do something else.

2. Phantombuster

Automation tools like Phantombuster can extract data from many LinkedIn profiles at once, which makes them a fit for large-scale extraction projects.

To use Phantombuster for bulk extraction, you’ll need to:

1. 1.

   Create a new “Phantom” (their word for a task)

2. 2.

   Specify the LinkedIn profiles you want to scrape

3. 3.

   Let the tool do its work

The output lands in a CSV file, which you can then import into your database or CRM.

3. Lusha

Lusha is one of the better known contact data providers in the category. It ships a browser extension that surfaces a number on the profile you’re viewing, plus a web app for list building and bulk exports.

It works on a credit system, so the real cost depends on how many of your lookups actually return a usable mobile. Worth testing on a sample of your ICP before committing to a seat.

4. ContactOut

ContactOut takes the same extension-first approach: install it, browse LinkedIn, and contact details appear in a side panel as you go.

It leans heavily toward recruiter use cases, which means strong coverage on personal emails and mobiles for candidates. If your prospects are engineers or designers rather than VPs of Sales, that coverage profile can work in your favor.

5. lemlist

lemlist finds your leads’ phone numbers in bulk, straight from LinkedIn. Three entry points:

• •

  Search lemlist’s 600M+ leads database, push the leads to a campaign, and request their phone numbers in the same move.

• •

  Open an existing campaign and enrich the leads already sitting in it with phone numbers.

• •

  Upload a CSV of LinkedIn profile URLs and let the enrichment run on the whole file.

→ lemlist finds the numbers through waterfall enrichment. Instead of querying one source and giving up, it queries the next one, then the next, offering an average 77%+ find rate across 14+ data providers. You’re only charged for the numbers it actually finds.

4 Expert Tips To Make a Successful Cold Call

To book meetings, preparation and strategy are what separate a conversation from a hang-up. Here are 4 tips to stand out and stop hearing “I’m not interested.”

1. Preparation Phase

Know your prospect before you dial. Research their role and their pain points. Tailor your approach to grab their attention fast.

Show that you can solve their problem. You need credibility, and sounding like every other rep who called them this week won’t get you there. 👉 Mention a recent event or a mutual connection to get the conversation flowing.

2. Creating a script

Craft a clear, concise message. Talk about the outcome they get. Keep it conversational so the prospect stays engaged. Add an opener with the right tone and a relevant CTA.

Try opening with a question that speaks to their specific challenge:

“Hi {{firstName}}! I noticed your team is expanding in {{industry}}. How are you currently handling {{challenge}}?”

👉 This makes your script feel less robotic and more like a dialogue that respects their time.

3. Anticipating Objections

All leads have objections. Listen first, then answer with a solution.

Be ready for the usual suspects: price and timing.

Stay confident and turn the objection into trust.

“It’s too expensive” → “I get it. A lot of our clients felt the same way at first, but once they saw how much time and money they saved, they saw the value.”

👉 This shifts the conversation from cost to ROI. The pain point becomes an asset.

4. Don’t take rejections personally

You’ll face rejection. Often.

And life goes on. Your prospect will have forgotten you by tomorrow morning. Knowing how to pick yourself up after a failure makes you unstoppable.

Rejection stings. Treat it as part of the process.

Think of it as gathering feedback: “What can I improve for the next call?”

👉 Reflecting on your calls constructively helps you grow, and makes each “no” feel like a step closer to the next “yes.”

None of this matters if the number sits in a spreadsheet for three days. Call while the trigger is fresh. lemlist’s native dialer lets you dial from the same tab where you found the number, records the call, writes an AI summary, and syncs the whole thing to your CRM. No tab-switching, no manual logging, no forgetting what was said on call number eleven.
