Looking for free methods for tracing a cell phone number?

When someone first gets it in their head to try to find a name and address related to a certain mobile number,What Free Options Are Available For Tracing a Wireless Phone Number? Articles their first question is how can they possibly obtain this information for free.  So, if this is a question you have, this article will reveal the ways you can obtain personal details connected to mobile numbers without paying any money.

Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.

The first method you can try is inputting the number into a search bar of your favorite search engine and go through the results that come up.  Admittedly, I have never had success with this method, but I have read about other people who have claimed success. But I view those claims with more than a bit of skepticism.

The only problem with this method is that the information you are searching for is considered private information.  Mobile numbers are categorized differently than landline numbers, which are considered public information.  Thus, the personal information connected to landline numbers is readily obtainable all over the Internet for free.

If you want the search engine method to work for you, you are going to have to be willing to spend quite a bit of time searching, because basically what you are looking for is a loophole in the system.  Telephone companies like AT&T and Sprint own this private information and they do a very good job of making sure it does not get revealed without their being compensated.

“Free” Reverse Cell Phone Directories

While you are going through the results of your search, you may notice literally hundreds of ads that promise to deliver results for a reverse cell phone lookup for free.  I would definitely steer clear of those sites, if you know what is good for you.  From experience, I can tell you the most you will ever discover from such a site is:

1)    Where the cell phone number was issued.
2)    The name of the wireless carrier.

Any information beyond this, the site will demand a payment for.  To me, this is false advertising.  I personally would not trust the quality of the data delivered from a site that used such methods in order to get me to purchase something that was originally offered for free.

The Best Method For Tracing a Wireless Phone Number

If you want to find out the most information that can possibly be discovered in connection with almost any mobile number you can think of, the only reliable way to consistently discover this information quickly and easily is to spend a few bucks with one of the few respected reverse cell phone directories that exist on the Internet. 

Believe me, the cost is not very much and the better directories also will back each report you purchase with a full money back guarantee.  This is the best and only method.  I wish there was a free method to tell you about that works, but there isn’t.  You can believe that or go find out for yourself.
