Are There Free Reverse Cell Phone and Unlisted Number Searches Available?

By Herbert Bergess

Almost everyone who uses a phone has the request from time to time to find out who is calling you. In most cases you have got the phone number from the caller, but you have trouble to find a service identifying the owner of this number. (Cell phone or unlisted landline)

Even now, and we are in year 2009, you would assume that you can simply go to your preferred search engine on the internet and find a free phone directory which also gives you the option of finding a name to a cell phone number or unlisted phone number.

Unfortunately, there are no real free searches for cell phone number or unlisted phone number directories. Don't get fooled with the misleading advertising for so called free reverse phone direcories. All what they provide you with is if the number exisits and if it is a cell phone number or landline number and who the service provider is and from which geographical area, but nothing else.

There are now several websites which offer reverse phone number searches, both for cell phone numbers and unlisted phone numbers. They collect and store their data in huge databases and make the information available to searchers for any kind of reverse phone search, e.g. Name and Address by phone number and more.

As long you can obtain the phone number of your caller you want to investigate, chances are that you will find the name and the address of the caller by using the database of one of the reverse phone engines.

As you can imagine, there is a huge effort and cost involved in collecting, storing and constantly updating such information and this does not come for free. With most of these sites, you can subscribe for a one off search, monthly, yearly or even unlimited searches.

These reverse phone directories offer memberships from search to one day, to one month to even up to 5 years searches. I recommend to choose a service which offers at unlimited searches for at least one year.

There are more cases for the need of such a service than you may have thought of, here just a few examples:

- Find owner of cell phone or unlisted phone number

- Find address, carrier and location details of owner of cell phone number

- Discover who just prank called you

- Find out if a spouse has been cheating on you

- Use a reverse phone search instead of a private investigator

- Search by name to locate friends, relatives, lost love, classmates and more

This can be a great help to find out who exactly is on the other end of the phone. - 23802
