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 ANAC Number to find its phone number and then call the CNA operator to see who owns it and where they live.

Social Engineering CNA Numbers
You can often social engineer CNA information out of telephone company employees or out of employees of other companies with CNA access.

Them: Hi, thanks for call, may I take your order please?
You: Yes, I'd like 4 large pepperoni pizzas.
Them: May I have your phone number please?
You:
Them: Is this 238 Ward Road?
