Reverse Phone Lookup Services Online

By Chris Hammel

Privacy laws and the effort to restrict telemarketers and reduce commercial calls that use your minutes, are the main reasons for which cell phone numbers are not included in the directories books. Consequently when you want to find a cell phone number, it is usually very difficult to locate a number or find out to whom it belongs, unless you use a reverse phone lookup service.

The truth is that all of have used some kind of book in order to find cell phone numbers, but we all end up to really annoyed and frustrated by the fact that we cannot actually get the result we want. Today though, with the enormous evolution of Internet, there are two ways to find such kind of information.

There are some ways though to get such information, either for free or with a small amount of money. Finding the information for free means that the owner of the number has deliberately made his number appear in directories and databases online, so if you Google the number, you have some good chances to find it.

There are some places online that can prove really useful if you are up to a reverse phone lookup: forums, directories used for telemarketing purposes or listings that found their way out somehow.

Paid Reverse Lookup services are the most effective way to run a reverse phone lookup. There are numerous websites online that can do this job for you and in most cases you just need to sign up and pay a small fee. The reason that you pay this fee is that this kind of information costs to the websites, as they retrieve them from carriers and telecommunication companies themselves and then resell it.

These websites offer an easy to use reverse lookup tool, that allows you to enter your number once you sign up and pay the fee, and run the search.The results depend on the service you use, but the majority of them provide at least, the name and address of the owner of the phone, while some others might give you a few more details, such as the status of the number, since when it exists or other details referring to the carrier.
