If you have been searching for a resource 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 need. Even if you skimmed through numerous internet articles on cell phone lookup, just praying that someone would fill you in on that secret website, I am positive you didn't find what you were seeking.

That is because there is no secret website. If completely free cell phone reverse lookup was available, it wouldn't be hard to find because it would be spread passed around instantly. This is a service in hot demand since cell phone numbers are not stored in the same manner as landline numbers.

Listing all listed cell phone numbers in a completely open location would make life simpler when you want to know exactly who is trying to contact 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 dial your cell number and start calling at all hours.

Articles and other internet resources offering free reverse phone look up for cellular numbers often rely on ideas that plainly are not accurate and very rarely deliver the useful information you need. Following their directions will be a huge waste of time, and here is why.

Search Engines

Some sources recommend going to Google or whatever search engine you prefer and quickly searching for the phone number in question. This is supposed to direct you to sites where the owner of that number has posted their contact information, which may include their cell number. The problem is very few people list their cell phone number on the internet for the exact reason the majority of people would prefer it not be broadcasted in a directory for anyone to search: they don't want random people calling their cell phone.

It is often 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 offers nothing of value to you. Shopping sites should never reveal personal information used in a purchase, because no one would buy from them online. When you purchase an item online, such as Ebay, you use a protected site where your information is not open to 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 just doesn't work that way.

Also, you cannot get someone's personal information from a phone number saved EBay, and even if you could the most benefit it would provide you is a screen name, which is likely to be just as informative as the phone number you have now.

Internet Phone Books

If you could go to whitepages.com or other phone listings and retrieve personal information only from a cell phone 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 phone book sites in attempt to retrieve the name of the owner is throwing away space and time. Simple as that.

The only legitimate way to identify the name listed under that number that has you concerned is to pay a minor charge to a reputable reverse phone lookup website. Some services may require a very minor fee to access the directory for one lookup, while others may grant you access to an endless number of searches. No matter what you get for your dollar, the fee should be rather small with a reputable directory.
