A Look At Reverse Phone Lookup And How Using This Service Can Help You

By Henry Petersoulld


A reverse lookup service can be very helpful if you frequently receive anonymous calls. This works for landline phones, too. In the 90s, phone companies still published reverse phone directories, also called reverse white pages, then. However, these paper directories have been largely supplanted by online databases.

There are several situations when a reverse cell phone lookup would come in handy. Case in point, you saw a piece of paper where you scrawled someone's number while you were tidying your desk. You remembered that you made this note while you were on the phone earlier that day, and that you had to call this number. Unfortunately, you don't know whose number it is. Through a reverse phone lookup service, you can gather information about the person or business who owns the number.

Another scenario when being able to trace cell phone number is very helpful is if you see several calls on your phone bill to an unknown number. With such service, you can determine if unauthorized calls were made using your phone, if there are any billing errors, or if you just forgot making those calls.

It is much easier to do a reverse lookup on landline numbers than it is to trace cell phone numbers. The reason for this is that mobile phone numbers are issued by individual carriers rather than the interlocked system of regional phone service providers. Moreover, cell phone owners value their privacy and usually do not make their contact details public on online registers. Just the same, there are also individuals and businesses that do allow their numbers to be published online. This is especially true for those who use their mobile phones as their primary phones instead of a landline.

A reverse search for mobile numbers can be done, but expect to pay a few bucks for it. To do a reverse lookup, you just have to type "reverse phone or cell phone look up" into the search area of Google or another search engine. This will generate a list of websites that provide such service. These online registers have a search field where you will type in the number you wish to find information on. In most cases, reverse lookups for landline are at no cost to you. For mobile numbers, you may be asked a onetime fee of 15 bucks, or a yearly fee of 40 bucks. Majority of websites do not require a fee for searches that do not yield results.
