David Down asked: Is it really possible to run a free reverse cell phone lookup on the internet? Many of us have become disillusioned and frustrated in the past with websites which appear to offer free products or services online but in fact do not. Is this the case with cell phone lookups? Firstly let us examine exactly what we mean by a phone number lookup. If you have in your possession a residential phone number but no idea who the number belongs to or what address it relates to you can use a “reverse lookup” service to find out those details. This can obviously be very useful in situations where you have lost contact with someone but still have a record of their phone number, or simply wish to verify who owns the number before mistakenly phoning the wrong number. There are many places you can perform such residential and business phone lookups online for free, including toll-free numbers. However a problem arises when you need to run a reverse lookup on a cellular phone as the free directories do not contain any such numbers. Similarly they do not contain fax numbers as this information is only held by the carriers and telecommunications companies. Do these records exist, and are they free? The good news is there are websites which claim to offer large numbers of cell phone numbers, but they are not free. These websites naturally have to pay for access to some of this information, and go to the considerable trouble of pulling all the various resources together in one place, and as a result you will be charged a small fee before you can access the lookup databases. However the fee is a one-off payment and with some websites you can run as many searches as you like once you have access, with others they offer a single lookup for a lower fee. The records they claim to offer include cell owner details, address history, carrier details, and the phone connection status. It is also worth noting that the databases offered by each company differ to some degree, but most include cell phones and often residential, business, toll-free, even pagers, and these websites say your searches are guaranteed legal and confidential. In addition to reverse lookups there are also similar websites which offer access to information such as background checks and background reports, people finder databases, bankruptcies, liens, public records databases including births, deaths, marriages, divorces and adoptions, sex offender records, police records, and much more. These sites operate in the same way, offering access to specific types of information for a set fee, however it should be noted that you will not receive access to such information as part of your cell phone lookup site membership. I have seen websites claiming to offer free cell lookups, but they always lead eventually to the paid sites in the end, even allowing people to search for free and then charging to view the results. It is the sad truth that the only place where you are likely to find detailed reverse cell records is within the legitimate paid directories. In conclusion, the answer is no, free cell phone lookups do not currently exist. However if you really want to access such records then I believe paying a small fee is a price worth paying. Kenneth

Travis Craig asked: Although it is common for people to use reverse cell phone lookup sites to find out a wireless user’s identity or other personal information, did you know that a cellular reverse phone number search can assist you in other ways than tracking down a wireless phone user? What other need could you have for a reverse cell phone lookup? Actually, it is quite common for people who are interested in changing phone providers to use a reverse phone search service. Why? Sometimes wireless subscribers are not satisfied with the service or plan they have with their mobile phone company, and would like to find out what cellular phone providers are used by their friends, relatives, co-workers, or any other person who has called them. If you are interested in conducting this search, record all of the cell phone numbers that appear in your mobile phone call history or monthly phone bill, and find a site that provides you with reverse cell phone number results for free. Enter the phone numbers (area code and seven digit number), one by one, into the search box provided, and lookup every number separately to find out the provider for each. Once you have completed your reverse cell phone lookup search, you can then determine how many people use a certain provider, and investigate why this particular phone company is so popular. You can conduct your investigation by using the following two methods: 1. Ask your friends, family, or co-workers why they have chosen their phone provider, and if they are satisfied with the service they receive, as well as with the plan they have. 2. Visit the wireless provider’s website and learn about their different packages. Just remember that before you make the decision to switch cellular phone providers, you need to cover these two important steps: 1. If you have a contract with your current phone provider find out when it ends, because you will likely be subject to a significant fee if you break your contract early by switching companies. 2. If you like your current provider, when your contract is up, inform your mobile phone company you will be switching to another provider, but will stay with them if they can match the deal of the competition or provide you with a better one. Keep in mind that not all reverse cell phone lookups offer phone provider information for free. Some will only give you the location (I.E. city and state) of the cell phone number. Therefore, you need to find a service that can meet your needs, such as this free reverse cell phone number lookup site. Heather

Jeremy Kelsall asked: A reverse cell number lookup is something that just about all of us has either had to or wanted to do at one point or another. Something like doing a reverse number lookup seems like it should be fairly simple to do. Unfortunately, its only easy if you know where to look. If you search google you will find a ton of different resources that claim to be able to trace a cell phone number back to its owner but, I’ve found most of these to be very misleading and ultimately a waste of time. Why do I say that? Simply because once you go to these sites that claim to be able to do a reverse cell phone search for free you ultimately find that there is no such thing as a free lunch. At the end of the day you have to pay for the information. Currently, there are no services that provide a completely free reverse cell number lookup. This is for a reason that isn’t in any of our control. You see, cellular phone numbers are not what is considered to be public domain unlike your typically published land line numbers. Cellular lines are considered private and therefore, are not easy to get information on. This is why you are not able to find a service online or anywhere else for that matter that is able to trace a cell phone number for free. There are however, companies online that can trace a number trace on a cell line for a very small fee. These services are able to provide you with the owner of any phone number weather it be a published number, cell number, business number, and even non published numbers. The reverse cell number lookup takes only a matter of a couple of seconds and is as easy as entering the number and pressing an enter button. Once you enter the site you are usually allowed to do a mini report for any cell number lookup for free. This report will essentially tell you weather or not there is a record of the particular number you are searching for. If there is you are able to download the full report.
