If you have been searching for a website offering completely free reverse phone number look up for a cell phone number, you are probably exhausted and still don't have the information you are seeking. Even if you skimmed through various internet articles on cell phone lookup, just praying that someone would fill you in on that hidden website, I am positive you didn't find what you were seeking.

This is because there is no hidden website. If free cell phone reverse lookup was available, it wouldn't be hard to discover because it would be spread by word of mouth instantly. This is a service in hot demand since cell phone numbers are not compiled in the same manner as landline numbers.

Listing all registered cell phone numbers in a completely open location would make life simpler when you need to find out exactly who is bothering you, but it would also eliminate 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 nonstop.

Articles and other internet resources claiming to provide free reverse phone look up for cellular numbers typically rely on methods that actually are not accurate and very rarely deliver the results you want. Following their directions will be a huge waste of time, for very sound reason.

Search Engines

Some websites recommend going to Google or any other internet search engine and quickly searching for the phone number in question. This is supposed to lead you to webpages where the owner of that number has stored their personal details, which may include the cell phone number. The drawback is very few people post their cell phone number on websites for the exact reason most people would rather it not be broadcasted in a phone book for the general public: they don't want strange people calling their cell phone.

It is sometimes reported that cell phone numbers may be pulled from auction sites like EBay or shopping webpages where the owner may have previously bought something, but this is quite useless to your situation. These sites should never reveal contact information used in a purchase, because no one would purchase from them online. When you buy an item online, such as Ebay, you use a protected site where your secured from public viewing. A search engine is not going to go through the contact records of a shopping site and retrieve a cell phone number. It simply doesn't work in that manner.

Also, you cannot find someone's personal information from a phone number provided to auction sites, and even if you could the most it could give you is a screen name, which is likely to be just as useful as the phone number you started with.

Myth #2: Online Phone Directories

If you could go to yellopages.com or other phone listings and identify personal information only from a cell number then there wouldn't be such a hot search for cell phone number reverse lookup services. Anyone claiming you should type in a cell phone number at these common sites in attempt to find the name of the owner is throwing away space and time. Simple as that.

The only effective way to retrieve the name listed under that number that has you concerned is to render a small fee to a trustworthy reverse phone lookup directory. Some services may charge a very small fee to access the directory for one number search, while others may give you access to an endless number of searches. No matter how much information you get for your dollar, the charge should be relatively small with a reputable service.
