Trying to place a name for an unknown mobile number?

There are more than a few methods for tackling this kind of problem, but in the end they all come down to one thing: if you want a truly consistent way to attach a name, address and other pertinent personal information in connection with a mysterious wireless number, your search will end on the website of a reverse cell phone lookup directory.

Free Methods

Now you can always try to find this information without the aid of such a directory, but I have to tell you that you will have you work cut out for you. The reason I say that is because what you essentially will be trying to do is unearth private information.

And this is never an easy thing to do unless the user or owner of this information decides to voluntarily disclose it. The owner of this information - companies like AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc. - sure aren't going to do this. They have no motivation to do so.

In the United States, a wireless caller's personal information is protected by certain privacy laws. So if you want to find out what a mobile phone carrier has on file in connection with the wireless number you wish to identify, you will need to agree to certain preconditions in regard to what you can and cannot do with this information, and also pay a nominal fee.

With that said, the only remaining option to find the identity of a cell phone number is if the user of the mobile number has somehow and somewhere disclosed this information on the Internet.

And how is this typically done?

One way is if the user has voluntarily entered his/her information into a type of reverse phone directory that collects information regarding cell phone users. But how many people do you know who are going to do this? Would you? I know that I personally wouldn't.

But such reverse phone directories do exist. A major downside is that they typically contain so few mobile numbers that the chances of finding personal details for the specific mobile number you are searching are very small indeed.

Another potentially free way to find the owner of a cell phone number without incurring a fee is to check social network sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and My Space. Some people who have pages on sites like these may voluntarily choose to disclose their personal details here. But this method takes a lot of luck, work and patience. Too much luck, work and patience to make it worth my while!

Don't even get me started on websites that offer “free” reverse cell phone lookup reports! I have yet to obtain a “free” report that reveals anything more than (a) the name of the telephone company that owns a wireless number and (b) the general location from where a mobile number was initially issued.

And that information doesn't help all that much!

Paid Methods

When you have had a belly full of monkeying around with free methods to find the owner of a cell phone number, you can always choose to work with a reverse cell phone directory that tells you up front that personal information connected to wireless numbers is going to cost a small sum of money.

Any reverse cell phone directory that truly has the ability to accurately identify a mobile phone user with the most up-to-date information available has done so by means of purchasing this information directory from each of the respective wireless carriers - the rightful owners of this information.

This kind of directory is an independently owned data company whose main function is to provide users with the most recent and accurate information in connection with all kinds of telephone numbers. Sure, the majority of their business is related to mobile numbers - but it also can identify the owners of landline, unlisted, fax, phone system and VoIP phone numbers.

In short, if a phone number can be identified, this is the place to get it done. So if you want access to the information a reverse phone directory has purchased from the major wireless phone companies, you will need to compensate the directory for the cost, time and effort it put into making this kind of report possible.

A single report shouldn't set you back more than $15 or so. And most of the better directories also offer some kind of yearly subscription which will enable you to run unlimited people searches and an endless amount of reports for the owners of published landline numbers. On top of this, you may qualify for discounts of future mobile phone lookups.

Wireless Number Search - The Quick and Easy Way To Lookup Cell Phone Numbers

Have you ever tried to lookup up the owner of a cell phone number using a white pages directory?

If so, you probably soon discovered that a white pages directory is not the place to get this kind of job done. Which kind of stinks - because had you been able to identify the owner of a mobile phone user on this site, your report would have been free.

And that's what everyone wants, right?

I know I don't want to pay for something unless it's absolutely necessary. So, if you are anything like me, you are not completely daunted when you find out that public phone directories are not capable of providing a name and address in response to a wireless number search.

You just get on Google and start digging deeper into the matter. And when this is done, there seems to be some promise for eventually obtaining a free report because there are literally hundreds of websites that promise to do just this.

So you get on one of these websites and do what is asked of you: which is nothing more than to enter the cell phone number you want to identify. Then you hit the 'enter' key and wait expectantly for your free report!

And a report is what you'll get - only it won't include the caller's name, address or any other of the kind of information you may have been expecting. Instead, this free report will tell you the name of wireless carrier which owns the number and the location from which the cell phone number was issued (typically city and state).

But does this information really help you?

Of course not! But hey, you wanted a free report and you got one! It's not like the website directly lied. But what they are guilty of, from a customer's perspective, is over-promising and under-delivering - at the very least.

But wait; there's more. You see, these sites operate under a two-step sales process. The first step involves enticing you to their sites under a false promise. The next step involves selling you the information you originally thought would be free!

Click Here To Conduct an Instant Reverse Phone Lookup!

And how do they do this?

Well, they state that a full or complete reverse cell phone lookup report is available that can and will reveal the information you are after. But you just have to pay them a fee to get it! I can't speak for you, but I'm not purchasing anything from a company, website or any other entity that chooses to conduct themselves like this. That would be the height of stupidity, in my view!

Hopefully, at this point, you are convinced that the only way to get consistently fast, accurate and reliable data in connection with a wireless number search is to first acknowledge that this sort of report is going to carry a free with it. There is no escaping this fact.

And if you want to know why this is so; it is because cell phone numbers - and their accompanying personal details - are privately owned. Verizon and all the other major phone carriers are not under any obligation whatsoever to hand over this information for free. There are a few major reasons for this; but the bottom line - at the end of it and when all is said and done - is that if you want to find out certain information that is contained within their huge databases, you will be paying a fee.

Typically, singles reports - with a reputable reverse phone directory - cost around $15; and they will reveal such things as the caller's name, present and past addresses, relative member names, other phone numbers in the caller's name and other personal details.

And many reverse cell phone directories have some form of continued membership option that allows for an endless number of certain searches. Because each reverse mobile phone directory is independently owned, you'll want to make sure precisely what each option entails for any particular directory.

A membership is for those who want one resource from which to search all kinds of telephone numbers. It stands to reason that a public phone directory (only capable of identifying the owners of published landline numbers) is not exactly an ideal choice for carrying out searches for all of the telephone numbers it is not capable of identifying. These numbers include toll-free, phone system, VoIP and, of course, cell phone numbers.

Reverse Cell Phone Lookup - The One Proven Way To Search Mobile Numbers

Think your wife or husband is cheating on you? Wondering who is behind unknown telephone numbers on your kid's cell phone? Or are you currently being bombarded by calls from telephone numbers you don't recognize?

These are some of the most common reasons people are motivated to match an identity to a phone number. And the good news is that, regardless of what kind of telephone number has been calling, there is a quick, fast and accurate way to dig up these answers fast.

What kind of telephone numbers can be searched?

Unlisted, mobile, landline, voice over IP, phone system and toll-free numbers can all be identified using one central phone directory. However, out of these numbers, only landline telephone numbers can be identified without a fee. This is because landline numbers are considered public information - as long as the owner of the number has chosen to have the telephone number published.

Free reports

Landline numbers are trivially easy to identify. You can either type the phone number into the search box of your preferred search engine (i.e. Yahoo, Bing, Google) or jump on the website of a white pages phone directory. Whichever method you choose, it's a simple matter of finding out the caller's name, address and related personal information.

Fee-based reports

But if the telephone number is unpublished (or not listed within a white pages directory), your search will invariably end on the website of a fee-based reverse cell phone directory. These directories are all-inclusive phone directories which collect personal data on all telephone numbers - not just landline numbers.

Mobile numbers, and their associated personal details, are considered private information. The mobile phone carriers are under no obligation to release this information to the public, but do so by way of selling information contained in their vast databases to data collection companies. These data collection companies purchase this information from all of the major mobile phone carriers, compile all of this information into their own databases and sell reports to the public.

But not only do these reverse cell phone lookup directories compile information on wireless numbers, they also collect information for all remaining kinds of phone numbers. This is the major advantage of using such a telephone directory. Instead using one type of directory to identify published landline numbers, and using another one to identify unlisted, toll-free or mobile numbers, you can identify all of these numbers using one resource.

What's in the report?

Each report is going to disclose a caller's:

(1) first and last name,

(2) present and past addresses,

(3) names of immediate relatives,

(4) phone type (landline, mobile, etc.),

(5) where the telephone number was issued (with accompanying map),

(6) name of telephone carrier.

If you want to discover even more information about the caller, such as criminal history, marital status or whether the caller has declared a bankruptcy; most directories are also able to furnish additional reports that disclose these details as well.

Tips for running a successful reverse phone lookup

If all you want to do is identify the owner of a landline number, there is never a need to pay money because, as stated earlier, this information is widely available for no charge. But if you want to get to the bottom of who actually owns a mobile or unlisted number, you are going to have to resign yourself to the fact that a report will cost money.

Here are a few tips that can make the search process that much easier and simpler:

(a) Purchase single reports - if you only occasionally have need to search the owner of a cell phone number. Most directories offer upgraded memberships that offer discounts on future reverse cell phone lookup reports. These memberships also enable users to conduct unlimited searches of people and landline numbers. My suggestion is to only elect such an option if you feel you will use the directory more than a few times per year.

(b) Check out how payments are processed - if you want to make certain there is a simple and easy way to recover money spent on a report should you not be satisfied with the quality of the information disclosed in any report. For my money, I go with a directory that either processes its payments through Clickbank or PayPal. Both of these companies offers consumers a quick and painless solution for recovering money spent should results in the report not live up to the promises. Don't overlook the importance of this!

(c) Read the directory's Terms of Service - to make sure you understand exactly what information you should expect in each report, which reports costs money, which are free and the process for which the information is delivered.

(d) Don't give out your own personal information - to directories that ask you to enter your name, address and other associated personal information in exchange for the ability to search its database. Some directories compile their own databases this way and/or sell this information to other data compilers. If you run across a directory that makes such a demand, keep looking for one that does not have this sort of requirement. Any reputable directory will allow free and confidential searches.

Reverse Cell Phone Lookup - How and Why to Lookup Cell Phone Numbers

noreply@blogger.com (Alec McEachern) — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 19:35:00 +0000

If the topic of running a search on an unknown wireless number is on the forefront of your mind, you may already be dealing with a situation that has you looking for fast and accurate identifying information.

Reverse phone directories are easily found on the Internet, but not all are the same. The hard part is finding a reputable one that can quickly and easily furnish accurate and up-to-date reports. If you know what characteristics you are looking for a reverse phone directory, the process of locating one you can comfortably work with becomes that much easier.

But first, what are the most typical reasons for doing a reverse phone lookup?

The most common reasons are:

(a) verifying the address of a person for which you already have a mobile number,
(b) identifying prank callers and other unknown numbers that repeatedly show up on the caller ID of your phone, and
(c) discovering who is calling your home, cell, or children's phone.

Many of these reasons may be self-evident to you, but for those who have no clue as to why they may ever have need to identify a mobile number, that was for you!

At the end of it, a reverse cell phone lookup is simply a process of matching a person to a wireless number. All you need to have in your possession to gain accurate results is a 10 digit wireless number.

In return for a few bucks, you can quickly discover the following about a mobile phone caller:

(i) full name,
(ii) current and past residences,
(iii) caller's relatives' names,
(iv) phone type,
(v) telephone carrier.

And that's not typically all the information which will be included in a report. Depending on where the information was originally acquired, you may also be able to discover other telephone numbers that are in the caller's name, home values, income information and a map of the location from where the telephone number was issued.

An important point to take note of is that a reverse phone directory is not the owner of this information. They simply lease or purchase the most recent information contained in the database of the respective mobile phone carrier which is the owner of this information.

So you shouldn't expect all reports to contain identical information in each report. A company like Sprint may collect more or less personal information than a company like T-Mobile. With that said, each report should contain at least the five items mentioned above.

What many people also don't know about reverse phone directories is that they have much more comprehensive databases than those of white pages directories. White page directories are restricted to providing reports for published landline telephone numbers. And of all landline telephone numbers, almost 2/3 are unpublished (or unlisted in the white pages directory). If you're searching a mobile number, you can count on virtually all of them being unlisted in a white pages directory.

But a reverse phone directory has the ability to identify the owners of the following types of phone numbers:

(a) mobile,
(b) voice over IP (VoIP),
(c) landline,
(d) toll-free,
(e) unlisted,
(f) phone system.

The Fastest and Easiest Way To Lookup Cell Phone Numbers

Are you looking to match a name and address to a wireless number?

In case you don't know it, this kind of search is easily done and, when the search is done with a reliable reverse phone directory, will produce information beyond what you may have thought possible.

If you're anything like me, you may have some questions as to why you cannot procure this information without a fee. The simple answer is that mobile numbers are privately owned by whichever wireless carrier happens to be the owner of the number. This is the main distinction between wireless numbers and landline and business telephone numbers.

Landline and business numbers are considered public information - which means they are free to identify. The only way you will not be able to identify a landline or business number is if the user decided against having his or her number listed in a public phone directory. A classic example of a public phone directory is the White Pages.

You can still consult the physical phone book to lookup a name, but if you want to lookup a telephone number (termed a reverse search) you will need to visit the website of White Pages and conduct your search there.

Again, any information obtained on this website is free.

But if you try to search a cell phone number on the website of White Pages (or any other free phone directory), you will not be able to identify it there. Since these directories are limited to providing personal information reports on phone numbers that are considered public information, a search for a mobile number will need to take place somewhere else.

What is a reverse cell phone directory?

A reverse cell phone directory is essentially an all-in-one telephone directory. A good directory compiles data from a wide variety of free and paid resources. The overwhelming number of searches conducted on this kind of directory are those pertaining to wireless numbers. But it also is very capable of identifying fax, VoIP, landline and unlisted numbers. In short, if you cannot find a match for a mobile number using this kind of directory, it probably doesn't exist.

But not all reverse telephone directories are the same.

Click Here To Conduct an Instant Reverse Phone Lookup!

Some directories will ask you to enter your name, address and other personal details as a prerequisite to search their site. This is not a good idea. Once you have entered your personal information into their database, there is no way to know what may happen with this information afterward. And it's just not necessary.

Scratch these directories off your list of potential companies to work with.

Instead, look for a directory that allows you to conduct a completely confidential search. After this, make certain the directory does not make demands for a payment prior to searching. Never pay money until after you know the directory contains a report for your search inquiry.

Most directories will have a search box prominently displayed on their home page. All you need to do is enter the full telephone number (with area code) and wait for the directory to search its database for a match.

The report should enclose the following information:

(a) full name
(b) current and past addresses
(c) name of wireless carrier
(d) issuing location of the number
(e) family member names
(f) other phone numbers owned by the caller.

Some reports will actually include more information than this; as each report contains information derived directly from the issuing telephone carrier. But what I just listed should be the bare amount of information enclosed in any typical report.

The cost of the report is going to depend on which directory you are working with. However, most directories offer users the option of buying reports one at a time, or offer the option to subscribe to the directory. This option typically enables users to run an endless amount of people searches. In addition to this, discounts are usually offered on future mobile phone lookups and other kinds of personal information reports.

Which Directory to Choose When Doing a Reverse Cell Phone Lookup

Trying to find out who was on the other end of an unknown cell phone call?

When looking to do a reverse cell phone lookup, at some point (if you don't know this already) you are going to be faced with the reality that the only sure method for discovering a mobile caller's identifying information is to pay a reverse phone directory for this information.

Even though you may find hundreds of sites on the Internet which offer free reports in response to this sort of inquiry, invariably you are going to find that the only way to come up with a caller's name, address, and other identifying information is to part ways with some money.

This is the main stumbling block for easily coming up with accurate information.

Don't be fooled by websites that promise a “free report” when it comes to identifying a wireless number. No website that offers to provide a name, current address, past addresses, wireless carrier, family names, and so on without also charging a fee could do so without losing money on every single report they distribute.

Why, you may ask?

Because any reverse phone directory that is able to provide the most recent and accurate information behind a mobile number can only do so by procuring this data from the originating wireless service provider. And these wireless service providers do not release this data without first being financially compensated.

So the reverse phone directories are obligated to pass a fee on to customers searching for an identifying report in connection with a mobile number. It really is no more complicated than that. Mobile numbers are privately owned by the respective wireless service providers that issue and continue to service them.

Click Here To Conduct an Instant Reverse Phone Lookup!

What information can you expect to find for free?

At best, the most revealing information you can find out about a mobile number (without paying a fee) is the location from which the wireless number was initially issued and the wireless provider's name (i.e. Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon).

So if a website promises a “free report” in connection with a wireless number you want to identify, this is all you should expect to discover. To find out what you are really after - namely the caller's name and address - the directory will offer a more complete or “full” report that reveals precisely the type of information you may have thought was free, based on the promises that led you to the site to begin with.

At that point, do you really want to pay your money to a website for information you originally thought would be free? I know I wouldn't, and haven't. I'd much prefer to work with a company that lets me know - from the beginning - that this information is not free and why. So if I have need to identify a phone number that I cannot find in a free phone directory, I suck it up and take my search to a fee-based reverse phone directory.

What to look for in a good reverse mobile phone directory

Any good directory is going to first allow you to search its database to make sure it contains the number you are searching. If it does, you should be notified of the location from which the number was originally issued and the name of the caller's wireless service provider.

Here is where have to decide what purchase option to select. Most directories will offer you the option to simply purchase a report for one single search; or you can choose to sign up to the directory. The main benefit of signing up for what is either termed a “subscription” or “membership” is typically going to be the ability to run unlimited people searches and also the ability to perform unlimited searches on landline and business numbers for as long as the subscription or membership is in good standing.

Whether a continued membership or subscription is right for you is going to depend on the price, how long the membership lasts, what kind of information you can access, and how often you feel you will make use of such a resource.

Trying to lookup someone's name by cell phone number?

If you want to identify a mobile phone number, there are are number of ways to go about it. There are no free methods for obtaining this kind of information, however, which is honestly the most important thing to understand when it comes to identifying mobile phone users.

The way most people start doing this kind of search is by typing their keywords (or words used to describe a search) into a major search engine like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask, Jeeves, etc. You obviously want to immediately exclude any search results you may encounter that offer this information for free - unless you like dealing with websites that are big on over-promising and under-delivering.

From experience, I've learned that these “free” reports invariably disclose no more than the name of the caller's wireless service provider and the location from which the number was issued. Vital information such as the caller's name and address is reserved for what are called “full” or “complete” reports.

And these reports are going to carry a fee with them.

Personal information connected to wireless numbers is not classified the same way that personal information connected to landline or business phone numbers is. Landline and business numbers are a matter of public information. But wireless numbers are owned by the companies that issue and service the numbers, and so are considered private information.

So while it has always been possible to freely discover a name and address in connection with a business or landline number, this has never been the case when trying to obtain this same kind of information in connection with mobile numbers.

If you want to lookup someone's name by cell phone number, the only way to get it done consistently and accurately is to use a reverse phone directory that specializes in selling these reports to the public. This kind of directory is able to identify any kind of telephone number, but mostly concentrates on selling reverse cell phone reports.

And there are a lot of reverse phone directories to choose from!

Click Here To Conduct an Instant Reverse Phone Lookup!

Which one to choose is first going to depend on whether this kind of search is worth spending a few dollars. If it isn't, I'd highly recommend putting the entire matter out of your mind because trying to discover this information for free is an exercise in futility.

However, if it is, I can offer a few suggestions that will help you find the best directory to suit your needs.

(i) Don't give your personal information in exchange for a report. There are more than a few websites on the Internet that demand users to disclose their own personal information in connection with identifying a wireless number. Don't do this!

If you decide to to enter your own personal information, there is no telling what could happen with this information. It's also completely unnecessary. A good reverse phone directory should offer a completely confidential search and not make demands for your own personal details.

(ii) Don't pay money up front. This may seem like common sense, but never pay for a report until you have conducted an initial search and after the directory has informed you there is a match for your inquiry in the directory's database.

(iii) Read the directory's terms of service. This is another tip that may seem like common sense advice, but you need to do this. Find out what typical information you should expect to see in a report and also find out how the directory processes payments. Look for a directory that offers a generous refund policy. A good reverse cell phone directory will allow users to be able to refund a purchase for up to 60 days.

Why such a long refund policy?

A good company is not concerned about refunds because they do a good job of providing value. Sure, there are always going to be unscrupulous people who take advantage of such a generous refund policy, but (by and large) most people who are pleased with the quality of the information contained in their report are not going to ask for a refund because their questions were accurately answered by the disclosed information.

If you follow these 3 basic guidelines when choosing a reverse phone directory, you should be able to quickly find a reliable company to work with.

Reverse Cell Phone Lookup - Sifting Through Free and Paid Options

Looking for a free way to identify the owner of a mobile number?

If this is your intention, you could be looking for quite a while. While it is very easy to quickly capture a wireless caller's name, current address, past addresses, family member names and and so on, there is no free method for doing so.

But if you conduct a search on any major search engine, what you are going to find is that a large number websites offer free reverse cell phone lookup reports.

So what's the deal with that?

Free reports obtained from websites such as these are very limited in nature - but they are free. Just don't expect the free report to include the caller's name or address. The most you can expect to find in any random free mobile phone report is the caller's wireless service provider (i.e. Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile ) and the wireless number's issuing location. This scenario will be the case regardless of which website you visit that offers such a report.

So that's not very good.

What it basically comes down to is whether it's worth the expenditure of a fairly small amount of money to learn a caller's name, address and other personal details. Because you are not going to discover this information any other way.

Why reverse cell phone lookup reports aren't free

Understanding why personal information behind wireless numbers is not freely accessible will save time and frustration. Mobile numbers (and the associated personal information) are owned by the cellular service providers that issue the numbers. So if your service is with Sprint, then Sprint is the owner of the personal details behind your number. If your service is with T-Mobile, then T-Mobile is the owner of such information as your name, address and other pertinent details.

And so on.

If you recall, it wasn't so along ago when it was not possible to discover a mobile phone user's name and address for any price - unless the user actually disclosed this information to you. It was one the best advantages of owning a mobile phone from a user's perspective. You didn't have to worry about receiving calls from unwelcome callers like telemarketers, bill collectors or any other person or entity you would rather not deal with.

But those days are over.

Now all of the major cell phone service providers sell the intimate details connected with the mobile numbers they own to what are called reverse phone directories. These directories are independent data companies which primarily conduct business on the Internet - and are the only resource for identifying mobile phone users.

The vast majority of business conducted by such directories is the sale of personal information reports in connection with wireless numbers. But they also collect personal information on landline, business, unlisted, fax, pager and any other kind of telephone number.

What to look for in a reliable reverse cell phone lookup directory

If you decide that it is worth paying a bit of money to discover a caller's identify, then you now need to decide which website to purchase your report from. Most directories offer two purchase options: single reports and subscriptions.

Click Here To Conduct an Instant Reverse Phone Lookup!

Here's a brief description of both options:

(i) Single reports - are the logical choice for those who simply want to identify the owner of one particular mobile number and don't have need for an all encompassing phone directory.

The specific personal information disclosed in a typical report usually will include the caller's name, present address, past addresses, wireless carrier, issuing location of the number and family member names. This is the minimum amount of information you should expect to see in any given report.

These reports generally cost around $14 each.

(ii) Subscriptions - are for those who would like to have access to a complete phone directory all year round. Subscriptions are typically offered in monthly or yearly payments. If you plan to go this route, I would suggest purchasing a yearly subscription.

Yearly subscriptions typically cost around $40. Included in that price will be one mobile phone lookup report. The main advantage of a yearly subscription is the ability to run unlimited people searches and searches for landline and business telephone numbers. Additionally, some directories offer discounts on future mobile phone reports and other types of personal information reports, such a civil and criminal background reports.

Monthly subscriptions tend to be more expensive and are more difficult to cancel should you experience buyer's remorse. And unless you are some kind of private investigator or a particularly nosey person, you probably will not get your money's worth out of a monthly subscription.

Securing your purchase

Before you decide to make any kind of purchase on the Internet, you need to know what the vendor's return/refund policy is. Not only that, you also need to find out whether the vendor processes its own payments or uses a payment processor like PayPal or Clickbank.

Personal information is considered digital information on the Internet. When it comes to safeguarding purchases of digital information, no company does a better job than Clickbank. Clickbank is the Internet's leading digital retailer. The main reason for this is because the company offers a 60 day refund policy - the most generous refund policy you are going to find on the Internet for this type of transaction.

Trying to find an easy way to identify a wireless number?

If so, there are more than a few options available for obtaining fast and accurate answers. With just a wireless number, you can quickly discover more than a few personal details that should cast a revealing light on the mysterious number. All you need to do is locate a phone directory capable of distributing this kind of information.

The way to do this is to simply get on Google, Yahoo or whichever search engine you prefer to use to gather information about a subject. If it were me, I'd type the words “cell phone reverse lookup” into the search bar and see what turns up.

What's a reverse lookup?

The traditional way to search telephone numbers is to search by name. But you can also perform a search by telephone number, or a reverse search. This kind of technology is not something new. It has always been available to perform a reverse number lookup on a landline and/or business number.

This kind of search if also free.

Whether you want to search by name or search by telephone number, business and landline numbers (and their associated personal details) are considered public information. In order to perform a quick search of either a landline or business number, it's no more complicated than punching the number into the search bar of your preferred search engine (e.g. Yahoo, Bing or Google).

The biggest players in this market are companies like Anywho and White Pages. They operate websites that are modern versions of the traditional phone book. These companies are great for passing out personal information such as a caller's name and address. However, if you want to learn more about a person (or if you want to learn more about an unlisted or mobile number) you will need to take your search to another kind of telephone directory.

The kind of directory I am referring to is one that is not only capable of identifying the same telephone numbers as free phone directories like White Pages, but also has the ability to manufacture an extensively detailed report in connection with every other sort of telephone number - numbers not found in a free directory.

So, here you have two choices: you can either choose to pay a small amount of money for a report or you can elect to go without knowing. Because you are not going to discover this information for free. The wireless companies who collectively control personal information associated with mobile numbers are in the business of selling this information.

And they like it this way!

But it's not like they don't have expenses to maintain. Somebody is making sure the satellites are in working condition and so forth. So when you purchase a report from a reverse phone directory involving a wireless number, you are paying (at least in part) to offset a wireless company's operating expenses.

The fee associated with a cell phone number search report also goes towards the operating expenses of the phone directory that actually distributes the report. These reports are not purchased from the specific wireless company that owns the mobile number you may be searching. This would make things far too complicated for mobile phone searchers. So the major cell phone companies sell the personal information contained in their databases to companies who operate phone directories on the Internet.

These companies run fee-based phone directories and are the only legitimate source for the identification of mobile phone users. And just like everything else in life, there are good and bad reverse telephone directories.

So, how should you choose a reverse cell phone directory?

In my view, the best way to choose a good directory is to first focus on what you are trying to accomplish. If you have never used this kind of service before, your best bet is to simply purchase a single report. These reports generally cost in the $14 - $20 range.

But if you think may want to use this kind of service on a regular basis, most directories offer users the option of purchasing a yearly subscription to their service. Essentially what a “yearly subscription” offers is the ability to perform unlimited people searches and landline/business number searches for an entire year. On top of this, some directories offer discounts on other personal information reports that cover civil and criminal histories.

Whether a subscription is something suitable for you will depend on your objectives and a thorough reading of the phone directories guidelines and/or terms of service. I personally don't have need for such a yearly subscription, and have only purchased reports individually. And I purchase reports from a company where I know full well how the transaction is going to be handled.

The way I do this is by purchasing reports from a company that has its payments processed through Clickbank. If you have not heard of Clickbank, they are the leading retailer of digital products on the Internet. And a mobile callers name, address and other personal information are considered a form of digital product.

Companies who wish to sell products through Clickbank first must be approved. Once approved, the company must comply with Clickbank's transaction guidelines. And one of those guidelines happens to be that a transaction can be refunded for up to 60 days after the date of purchase. This is the single best way for a consumer to protect himself and feel confident he or she is purchasing from a reputable company.

Trying to find out whether there is a fast and easy way to identify unknown wireless calls?

The good news is that, yes, there is a fast and easy way. The bad news is that it will cost you a bit of money to gain access to a cell phone owner's name, address and other pertinent personal information. But it won't cost you a lot of money if you perform some due diligence by checking out different reverse phone directories. To help you out in that regard, here are a few pointers to make the best decision when looking to find people by cell phone number.

Purchase a Specific Report

Personal information is pretty big business on the Internet - at least here in the States. Data compilation companies operate websites that sell a long list of different personal information reports. You can purchase a report that reveals a wireless caller's full name, present and past addresses, family member names, and other details. If you want find more information about an email address, there's a report for that. If you want to dig even deeper into a person's history, there are reports that even reveal criminal and civil background information.

In short, there are a lot of reports available on people in the States.

If your goal is to identify a certain wireless number, your best bet is to find a site that focuses exclusively on furnishing this kind of personal information report. The reason I say this is because many sites try to lure customers into paying for products and monthly subscriptions they more than likely are ever never going to need. Unless you plan on opening and maintaining a private detective business, you're (more than likely) only going to to need this kind of service once in a long while.

So paying for a monthly subscription just doesn't make much sense.

When it comes to searching mobile and unlisted numbers, you're better off dealing with a company whose sole business is to provide extensively detailed reports in response to reverse cell phone searches. These reports should reveal the caller's name, line type (cell or landline), issuing location of the telephone number, present and past addresses and phone company name. Some directories will also provide average income and home values for the issuing location of the number.

The information contained in a reverse phone directory's report is only as good as the database it maintains. The better directories realize this kind of search procedure is most widely used in the United States and therefore focus their efforts on building and maintaining the largest and most up-to-date databases for all phone numbers in American - not just mobile numbers. In other words, they gather information on every kind of telephone number out there.

With all of these phone numbers, from all different wireless carriers, compiled into one central database, the only thing required of a searcher is to enter a phone number (area code included) into a search bar provided on the directory's website. If the report exists in the directory's database, you should be able to either instantly access an individual report or choose to pay for a yearly subscription.

Unlike monthly subscriptions charged by some phone directories, a yearly subscription enables users to perform an unrestricted number of reverse phone searches for listed and landline numbers, as well as people searches for household members, phone numbers and addresses. Keep in mind, though, that any reverse lookup of a cell phone number is still going to carry an individual fee. This is because wireless numbers are still privately owned and protected by certain privacy laws in America. This also means you will have to agree to certain pre-conditions as to what you may use the information for.

Trying to match a name and address to a phone number?

What kind of phone number are you looking to search?

You know, if the number is a landline or business telephone number, all you have to do is visit the website of any random free phone directory on the Internet. If you don't want to use the Internet, you can simply make a phone call to whichever “411” service you prefer to use. Just keep in mind that many of these services charge a fee for this service. Although the information is free, some (if not many)“411” directories charge a fee for the service they provide when responding to a call for personal information.

This may be very basic information, but the easiest way to think about phone number lookups is that:

(i) personal information pertaining to landline and business telephone numbers is freely available, and

(ii) personal information pertaining to cellular and unlisted numbers is not.

White Pages and AnyWho are two of the biggest free telephone directories in the United States. Both of these companies provide websites that are able to deliver personal details connected to any listed landline or business phone number.

Why isn't personal information connected to mobile numbers free?

If you want to look up wireless numbers (or any other kind of telephone number not included in the databases of free phone directories) you are going to have to take your search to a fee-based phone directory.

Sprint, Verizon and whatever other cell phone company you can think of don't pass out free personal information reports connected to the wireless numbers they service. This information is still protected by certain privacy laws in America. So if you want access to this information, you are going to have to abide by certain preconditions as to what you can and cannot do with the personal information you are seeking. In addition to this, you are going to have to pay a fee to the rightful owners.

But you don't do this directly.

You cannot get on the website of Verizon, Sprint or any other wireless carrier and expect to get your answers there. This is not the way it's done. None of the wireless carriers offer a phone directory on their websites that allow for personal information searches connected to the mobile numbers they service. Instead, they sell or lease this personal information to data compilation companies. These companies operate businesses on the Internet which distribute the reports .

What to look for in a reverse phone directory

Once you realize it's not possible to legally or ethically access personal information connected to cell phone numbers for free, it's time to make a decision. Is this information worth paying a fee for? If not, I'd suggest putting the whole matter out of your mind. If it is, then it's time to start shopping different phone number lookup directories. And there are a lot of them out there!

I've taken a look at a lot of them, and what I can say is that this kind of search is definitely not worth some form of monthly subscription, unless you're some kind of private investigator or a serious form of stalker. But as noted earlier, this kind of information has certain preconditions which must be obeyed. One of these preconditions is that it can't be used to stalk anyone. And I don't think anyone can reasonably argue against this.

The best directories won't ask you to sign up for a monthly subscription you'll more than likely never fully get your money's worth out of. What these directories instead will do is present you with two purchase options:

(a) single purchase, or

(b) yearly subscription.

There are advantages to both. If you don't think you'll ever need to search a wireless, unlisted, VoIP or fax number again, then I would suggest opt ing for the single purchase option. But if you think you may have need to search different types of phone numbers down the line, the yearly subscription will allow you to run free reports of landline numbers all year long - and provide you with access to reports that simply are not freely available using a free or public phone directory.
