Reverse Cell Lookup - How To Discover Who's Calling

A reverse phone lookup for a residential or land line phone is quite easy and straightforward.

If you have a phone number in your possession and can't remember who it is, or where it is, you can go to any of the reverse lookup white pages on the internet and soon find out the name and address of the person concerned by entering the area code and phone number.

In the case of a reverse cell phone lookup it is not quite so easy, as cell phone numbers are not in the public domain and therefore there are no directories.

How can you find out where old friends are, who is making prank calls to your home, work or cell phone, or if you missed an important call, and who your partner may be calling?

First, you can try entering the number into a search engine, like Google, and see if anything turns up. In the unlikely event that the information you are looking for does turn up you will have saved yourself time and money.

There are also free reverse cell websites but you will find that what they provide is extremely limited and won't produce the information you are seeking, or they might lead you to a paid site, or in a few instances even to a scam.

To find one of the legitimate paid directories you will need to search for them online and when you find these sites you should do some research by checking out reviews, customer comments and recommendations until you find the website that is best for you.

You will need to pay a small, very reasonable fee for the information they provide but consider that these websites also have to pay for the information from the various cell phone companies, compile the information from millions of different records and develop a website, and for the constant updating of the information on their databases.

These sites will allow you to run a free preliminary search immediately and will tell you very quickly if the information is available or not. In the event that it is available you will be asked if you want to pay a small fee to access this information, or whether you would like to pay a one-time modest fee for unlimited lookups.

Additionally, with the right website you will be able to access even more detailed information as membership can include access to millions of public records and can even find long-lost friends even if you have not contacted each other for many years.
