open iPhone Add comments

So you have your note pad, on it is scribbled some digits, you then say to yourself “how can I find this prank caller”.  Then a friend tells you reverse phone lookup man…!

What is the purpose of a reverse phone search, you ask?
There are many reasons why you might want to conduct a search in this manner:

  • Find out the source of a harassing (”prank”) caller
  • Research a number that appeared on your phone bill
  • Locate an old friend from high school or college
  • Research “missed calls” on your caller ID that you don’t recognize
  • Verify an address
  • And more

So how can phone number look up help you? If you’re like the example above and have in your possession a residential or cell phone number, but have no idea who the number belongs to or what address the owner resides at, then you can use a “reverse phone directory” service to find out this vital information.

Apart from finding that prank caller, this service can help you find, a friend or family member whose telephone number is the only form of contact you have, or maybe you just need to verify the owner of the number before you call.Sim card and mobile lost, yes they can both be replaced but what about all the unknown contacts calling.This is where reverse phone search will help you, by finding all those unknown numbers.

Try White pages!

Yes you could, because both residential and business phone number lookups are generally available online for free, but when it comes to a cellular phone the service is not easily available.  This information is only held by the carriers and telecommunications companies, the free directories do not contain any such numbers.

A lot of people would go to the white pages to trace a mobile number and just give up simply because they find out that wireless numbers are unlisted on the white pages. You can find residential land line numbers using White pages. The businesses numbers are listed on the yellow pages and neither one of them have mobile numbers

There are numerous companies offering to reverse search cell numbers on your behalf. You just find one of these, plug your number in, and you should get your results in seconds. The fact that you’re reading this article would suggest you are researching this subject and therefore will have probably come across many different websites offering this service. Although the information offered is pretty much the same regardless of price, you need to be aware of the accuracy of the information being offered. The best results are generated from a frequently updated company database.

Reverse Phone Search, At What Price?

There are endless websites that offer this service, but they are not free. However the fee is usually a one-off payment and with some websites, you can run as many searches as you like once you have access, but with other sites you will be expected to make a payment each time you search.

This fee helps subsidise the cost that the company has to pay for access to each of the carrier’s databases. Without this fee, the information would most likely be out of date and incorrect.  The records they offer include cell owner details, address history, carrier details, and the phone connection status etc.

In conclusion, cell phone & unlisted number lookups currently exist, but they are not free.  If you really want to access to such records then I believe paying a small fee is a price worth paying.
