Reverse Phone

By Robert Maggs


Common telephone directories are useful in finding telephone numbers for businesses or individuals whose name you already know. This is how people are able to receive or make calls and the reason they obtained their service to begin with. Reverse phone lookup works in the opposite way by allowing the identity of a caller at a known number to be discovered.

When caller ID became available customers with that service feature they became able to identify callers without picking up the call. Some numbers, such as unlisted numbers and some 800 or cell numbers will not be identified except to government officials.

There are ways to discover the identity of people calling you, however. If you are getting repeat calls from a number you do not recognize, you can do a reverse phone number browser search under that number. There are sites that specialize in posting comments from others who have been harassed or repeatedly called by people who will not identify themselves or are somehow abusive or evasive.

There is more than one way to find the information you want though. If you do a reverse phone number search on your browser by entering the number and searching you may find the information you want. There are sites on the Internet where people can post their experiences with nuisance calls from certain numbers. They will relate that they were repeatedly called from the number but their return calls were unanswered. The caller may have refused to identify himself, or was evasive or abusive. Someone eventually learns who the number belongs to and posts the information and names the company which may be a collection agency, telemarketer, charity, or fraudulent solicitor. It is likely however that you will not find what you are looking for there.

There is one more possibility for finding the owner of the number you have by means of a phone look up on one of the businesses that furnish reverse phone reports for a fee. This fee is very reasonable and can be a one time rate or a longer period subscription with unlimited use. Private investigators and others who use this information in their work use these services regularly.

This useful service enables the user to gather much useful information including address, age, and relatives of the number's owner. It will not provide unlisted numbers. Sometimes these services claim to be free but no one works for free. To get any useful information, including the actual name, you will have to pay the fee. Otherwise you will have to be satisfied with the city the number is located in and whether it is a cell phone or land line.

The information can be well worth the fee, especially if you can find out who is repeatedly harassing you, whose number fell out of your spouse's pocket, or what your employees are doing instead of working. It is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Reverse phone lookup enables you to obtain the identity of an owner of a number as well as public record information about them, for a small fee. It is possible to know their address, age, and names of their relatives.
