If you have been searching for a resource 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 skimmed 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.

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

Listing all registered cell phone numbers in a publically accessible location would make life easier when you want to know exactly who is calling you, but it would also eliminate some of the perks of a cell phone. There is a certain security trusting that a telemarketer can't just dial your cell number and begin calling nonstop.

Articles and websites claiming to provide free reverse phone look up for cell phone numbers often rely on theories that plainly are not worthwhile and very rarely produce the useful information you need. Listening to their advice will be a big waste of time, for very sound reason.

Search Engines

Some sources suggest going to Google or any other internet search engine and simply searching for the phone number in question. This is believed to lead you to sites where the registered user of that number has stored their contact information, which may include the cell phone number. The drawback is very few people use their cell phone number on the internet for the very same 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 phone.

It is often suggested that cell phone numbers may be collected from auction sites like EBay or shopping sites where the owner may have made a purchase, but this is quite useless to you. These sites should never reveal contact information used to make a purchase, because no one would buy from them online. When you buy 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 personal information of a shopping source and retrieve a cell phone number. It simply doesn't work that way.

Also, you cannot retrieve someone's personal information from a phone number provided to auction sites, 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.

Internet Phone Books

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

The only fast way to retrieve the name listed under that number that has you concerned is to render a nominal charge to a reputable reverse phone lookup website. Some services may require a very nominal fee to use the directory for one lookup, while others may grant you access to unlimited searches. No matter what you get for your dollar, the fee should be rather cheap for a legitimate directory.
