Have you ever had someone you didn’t know call and leave a disturbing messages? Perhaps they texted you and you want to know who it is. Reverse phone lookup is in growing demand right now and this article is going to cover some of the basics of how to get started if you want to find out personal information about the person calling behind an unknown number.
First and foremost you need to have the 10 digit number that we are trying to perform the reverse phone lookup for. With the number in hand the first stop you should make is Free Cell Search . com. White pages has a reverse phone directory built into the free portion of their site and can provide you with some valuable information for free! If the number is a landline, and is not private then whitepages will give you the name and address of the person calling you. If they do not provide this information then you should be able to deduce that the number is from a cellular company.
If you were not able to get the number because they called as a private caller, you can try using *69 or perhaps contacting your phone company to see if they can release the number to you.
In the event that it is a cellular number which you are trying to track you are not out of luck. Simply using google to search the number should return some very useful information. In the google search bar enter the 10 digit number in quotations, the quotations are used to tell google to search for the entire string rather than just part. A lot of people have posted their numbers in connection with other personal information on various websites i.e(facebook, craigslist, myspace,). This information stays locked away on servers for a very long time and google is often able to “sniff’ it out.
Reverse phone lookup websites have been popping up in a lot of places and one quick google search will return dozens of them. Personally I have never used one of these websites mostly because they all require you to pay for the information they claim to have. I am not sure what the extent of their database is, but I would have to assume that its not more than you can get from using the FREE methods outlined above.
