Free Reverse Cell Phone Search – All You Need To Know to Accurately Trace Telephone Numbers

It’s a well-known fact that landline numbers are carried in public phone books and free online directories.  What is not so well-known is that wireless numbers are NOT.  So, a common question many people have is whether there is way to actually perform a free reverse cell phone search. 

And while there are more than a few methods of performing this type of search without paying any money, it’s an entirely different matter whether these methods will actually produce the results you are after.  But if your intent is to identify an unknown cell phone caller without the need of paying a directory that specializes in this sort of search, the rest of this article will detail the best way to do it.

Straight out of the gate, you can enter the number you are searching directly into the search box of your favorite search engine, whether it is Google, Bing, or Yahoo.  You will then be able to sort through the results to see whether a match for your inquiry is available.  In order to narrow down your results as much as possible, just make sure that when you enter the number into the search box, you enter as much pertinent information as possible.

For example, if you know the number was issued in a particular state (like Ohio), you would want to enter the number in this fashion:  “area code+seven-digit local phone number+Ohio”.  This method relies on that fact that many people enter their personal information along with their phone number into many different types of websites.  Such websites include social networking sites, forums, blogs, and financial websites. 

But although the personal information may be entered on pages within these various websites, most of these pages are not available for public viewing.  So, although performing a search of a wireless number using a search engine may be free, obtaining accurate and up-to-date information is another matter altogether. 

The reason this information is so hard to come by using free methods is because mobile numbers are not categorized in the same manner as landline numbers.  Wireless numbers have the personal details connected with them protected by privacy laws.  So any method that relies on free techniques is going to involve quite a bit of time and effort.  And I have yet run across a method that has worked consistently or reliably.

But there is another way.

For the price of what you might pay for a new book at your local bookstore, you can quickly find out just about every personal detail carried within a wireless carrier’s database regarding any cell phone user you may want to search.
