Reverse cell phone number search

by Jean Michel Enorme

Most serious companies will ask you to pay a fee to do a reverse cell phone search for you. However if you use your imagination and the tools available on the internet for free, there are plenty of tricks and methods you can stumble upon to look for a location or find a name just with a cell phone number. If your research is not up to your expectations, the best paid tools are the mobile phone look up directories that can perform a very comprehensive research for you after a one-time payment.

Let’s go through some strategies you can use to successfully carry out your reverse cell phone search for free:

1. Do you by any chance have anyone working in the police department or in any government subdivisions? Well they should inevitably be the first people to ask should you need to unearth any public data, as they have free access to a plethora of information. They can give you a name, an address as well as the phone company.

2. The number one tool you should use is Google. Just type the number on the search box and see what results you can come up with. Other very effective search engines include MSN, Alta Vista, AOL or Yahoo. You will see pretty quickly whether names or addresses are associated to the number.

3. You can also get help from any online discussion forum. Simply post the number and ask people to contact you with information.

4. Call the cell phone number from a public phone and pretend you’re looking for someone. If a person answers and says it’s the wrong number, find a way to get their name without directly asking for it. Use this information to continue your research using some of the methods mentioned above.

5. Be smart! If you REALLY need to find that particular phone number you can always ask someone who already has a membership at one of the paid sites and see if they can quite simply do you a favour. Once again anything is possible on the internet!

6. Another trick is to use Yahoo Answers to have people do the research for you. You can even tell them that you are ready to pay them and specify the amount you would request.

If you don’t have any success with the methods stated above you will have to face the truth: the person you are researching has not left any public traces or does not want to be found. It’s time for you to go the professional way and pick a cell phone directory. It’s often cheaper, quicker and easier to do a reverse cell phone number search online yourself than to use a private investigator.
