If you have been searching for a site providing completely free reverse phone number look up for a cell phone number, you are probably worn out and still don't have the information you are looking for. Even if you read through endless internet articles on cell phone lookup, just hoping that someone would reveal that elusive website, I am sure you didn't find what you were searching for.

This is because there is no elusive website. If completely free cell phone reverse lookup was possible, it wouldn't be hard to find because it would be spread around town immediately. This is a service in hot demand since cell phone numbers are not listed in the same manner as home phone numbers.

displaying all listed cell phone numbers in a publically accessible location would make life easier when you want to discover exactly who is calling you, but it would also take away some of the perks that come with a cell phone. There is a level of security knowing that a telemarketer can't just purchase your cell number and begin calling at all hours.

Articles and websites claiming to provide free reverse phone look up for cellular numbers usually rely on theories that plainly are not accurate and rarely, if ever, produce the results you want. Listening to their advice will be a big waste of time, and here is why.

Search Engines

Some sources recommend going to Google or any other internet search engine and simply searching for the phone number of curiosity. This is supposed to guide you to sites where the owner of that cell phone number has posted their personal details, which may include the cell phone number. The problem is very few people post their cell phone number on the web for the very same reason most people would rather it not be accessible in a phone book for anyone to search: they don't want random people calling their cell.

It is sometimes believed that these numbers may be collected from auction sites such as EBay or shopping webpages where the person may have made a purchase, but this offers nothing of value to you. These sites do not openly reveal personal information used to make a purchase, otherwise no one would purchase from them online. When you pay for an item online, such as Ebay, you use a protected forum where your blocked from public access. A search engine is not going to go through the contact records of a shopping site and pull out a phone number. It simply doesn't work like that.

Also, you cannot get someone's private records from a phone number stored EBay, and even if you could the most it would lead you to is a screen name, which is likely to be just as useful as the phone number you already have.

Myth #2: Online Phone Directories

If you could go to yellopages.com or other phone directories and identify private information only from a cell number then there wouldn't be such a high demand for cell phone number reverse lookup websites. Anyone advising you to enter a cell phone number at these common sites in order to retrieve the cell phone owner is wasting space and time. Enough said.

The only effective way to retrieve the name listed under that number that has you worried is to render a nominal fee to a trustworthy reverse phone lookup service. Some listings may require a very small fee to access the service for one lookup, while others may give you access to an endless number of lookups. No matter which services you get for your dollar, the charge should be relatively cheap for a reputable service.
