There could be a lot of reasons why you would want to perform a reverse cell phone look up.
Some of the most common ones are: 1.
Find out the source of a harassing (prank) caller.
2.
If you have a phone number but no contact/location information.
3.
Research a number that appeared on your phone bill.
There are plenty of other reasons but those are the most common I hear about.
So how do I go about doing this? That's a really great question! First you will need to figure out if the number is a land line (Home phone) or a cell phone number.
The easiest way to do this is simply type the number into a Google search.
If you get no results there than you can pull up the white pages and type the number in question into the appropriate field.
This is whats known as the "free" method.
If your searches don't yield any results than more than likely the number is a cell phone.
Unfortunately cell phones aren't listed in public directories.
The good news is, the information can be obtained but there is usually a small fee involved.
However, depending on the reason for your research, the fee could be minimal compared to the problem.
Which Service Should I Use? While there are a lot of different services out there, there are only a handful that provide quality information at a reasonable price.
The service that I use most often is called Phone Detective.
The reason I like this service so much is: 1.
the quality and accuracy of its information.
2.
128 bit encryption order screen.
(secure ordering so no third party can view your private information) 3.
It provides more information than any other service I've come across.
* Phone owner name * Current street address * Line type - landline or mobile * Phone company / carrier * Issuing location with map * Previous addresses 4.
This is also the only service I've found that will assist me if their computer cant find the number/information I'm looking for at no extra charge!
