Find Name By Phone Number-How To Perform A Reverse Phone Lookup

By Tom Freeno

There are countless reasons you may need to find a person's name by their phone number, but the most common are trying to catch prank callers and trying to catch a cheating spouse. It does not matter what the reason is, what matters is the fact that you can actually find a persons name using just their number.

1-Start off by looking in the phone book

Have you checked the phone book yet? If not then that is probably the first thing you should do. The majority of people out there automatically assume that a number will not be listed in the phone book because phone books are becoming out dated. Believe it or not, phone book companies do an incredible job at keeping the phone books up to date and they might just have all the information you are looking for.

2-Look for a free reverse phone lookup service

Once you have checked the phone book it is time to move on to the wonderful internet. Just go online and do a search for free reverse directories and hopefully you will find one. When using a service like this, all you do is simply enter the number into the search box and click the enter or search button. The system will then run through all the data and hopefully find a match to your number. However, there is a major problem when using a free reverse look up site. They only show you listings of public numbers, which means if you didn't find it in the phone book your probably will not find it here.

3-Use a paid Reverse Phone Lookup Service

If you are in a situation where you really need to know who is calling you can always use a paid reverse look up directory. The good thing is you will get your results or your money back, so you have nothing to lose. The way this system works is the exact same as above except they show more than just public listings, they show private ones such as cell phone numbers, that is why it has to cost some money. The good news is once you have paid your onetime fee you will get free searches for the rest of your life
