A Free Reverse Cell Phone Search To Find Out Who Owns Any Number

By Doug Timlin

By using a reverse cell phone search you can find out someone's full name, address and background information by having only their phone number. This can come handy in many different situations - let's have a look to see how it is done.

You usually have to pay for this type of service, but there is a free way to find out the same information. Let's cut right to the chase and find out how this is done.

Grab the phone number that you are "investigating" and fire up your computer. Go to Google and type in the phone number in this format: "555-555-5555" (include the quotation marks). Press the search button and wait for your results to come up.

People will place their phone number online for many different reasons - they could be filling out a classified ad or 'profile' page. If this particular phone number has ever been published online, Google will find it for you.

Look over the results that come up and see if you have a match. If you see that the number is on a webpage, take a close look to see what you can find out about the owner. Hopefully you can see their name and address along with other details. You would be surprised by how much information will be left about someone on just a webpage.

This free reverse cell phone search technique will often work. Even though the paid services aren't expensive, you may as well give this a shot to see if you can save a couple of bucks. If it doesn't you can always go to a paid service afterwards.

There are companies that specialize in maintaining databases of owner information on all phone numbers. They pay for access to this information and then charge a small fee to goverment agencies, law enforcement departments or detective agencies that wish to run a search on a phone number. Thankfully, they now also allow the general public to use their services

Conducting a reverse cell phone search isn't expensive and is extremely easy to do. You type in the phone number (everything is done online at the company's website), hit the search button and the owner's information will be shown on your computer screen instantly. You will see their name and address along with other background information.

You can use the link at the end of this article if you want to try a free sample search. It always impresses me by how much information you can find out about someone with only their phone number.

If you do choose to use this type of service, it is recommended to find a company that only charges a 'one-time' fee for unlimited searches. This way you are only billed the one time and can conduct as many searches as you want, whenever you want.

There's a lot of reasons why you might need to use this type of service. Perhaps you are getting prank calls from a certain number and want to find out who is calling, or you want to know why a particular phone number keeps showing up on your spouse's cell phone. Whatever the reason, it's nice to know you can use a reverse cell phone search whenever you might need it. All the best!
