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

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

Listing all listed cell phone numbers in a publically accessible directory would make life simpler when you need to know exactly who is bothering you, but it would also take away some of the perks that come with a cell phone. There is a certain comfort trusting that a bill collector can't just dial your cell number and start calling nonstop.

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

Search Engines

Some sources suggest going to Google or whatever search engine you prefer and quickly searching for the phone number of concern. This is rumored to lead you to websites where the listed owner of that cell phone number has stored their contact information, which may include the cell phone number. The problem is very few people use their cell phone number on the internet for the exact reason the majority of people would rather it not be posted in a phone book for anyone to search: they don't want random people calling their cell.

It is sometimes reported that cell phone numbers may be pulled from auction sites like EBay or shopping webpages where the owner may have made a purchase, but this is quite useless to you. These sites do not openly reveal contact information used to make a purchase, because no one would buy from them over the internet. When you buy an item online, such as Ebay, you use a protected site where your blocked from public access. A search engine is not going to search the contact records of a shopping source and retrieve a phone number. It just doesn't work that way.

Also, you cannot find someone's personal information from a phone number provided to auction sites, and even if you could the most benefit it would provide you 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 whitepages.com or other phone directories and identify private information just from a cell phone number then there wouldn't be such a high demand for cell phone number reverse lookup websites. Anyone claiming you should enter a cell phone number at these phone book sites in attempt to find the cell phone owner is throwing away space and time. Enough said.

The only legitimate way to find the name behind that number that has you curious is to render a minor charge to a trustworthy reverse phone lookup website. Some websites may charge a very minor fee to access the service for one lookup, while others may give you access to an endless number of searches. No matter what you get for your dollar, the fee should be relatively small with a legitimate service.
