If you have been looking for a site offering 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 the subject, just praying that someone would reveal that hidden website, I am positive you didn't find what you were seeking.

This is because there is no elusive website. If free cell phone reverse lookup was out there, it wouldn't be hard to come by because it would be spread around town over night. This is a service in high demand since cell phone numbers are not compiled 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 find out exactly who is calling you, but it would also take away some of the perks of a cell phone. There is a certain comfort believing that a bill collector can't just purchase your cell number and begin calling nonstop.

Articles and websites claiming to provide free reverse phone look up for cell phone numbers typically rely on methods that plainly are not effective and very rarely provide the results you want. Following their directions will be a huge waste of time, for very sound reason.

Search Engines

Some websites suggest going to Google or any other internet search engine and simply searching for the phone number of concern. This is supposed to lead you to websites where the registered user of that number has listed their personal details, which may include the cell phone number. The drawback is very few people use their cell phone number on the web for the exact reason the majority of people would rather it not be accessible in a directory for anyone to search: they don't want strange people calling their cell phone.

It is sometimes suggested that cell phone numbers may be pulled from auction sites like EBay or shopping webpages where the person may have previously bought something, but this is quite useless to your situation. Shopping sites should never reveal personal information used in a purchase, because no one would purchase from them over the internet. When you buy an item online, including Ebay, you use a protected site where your secured from public viewing. A search engine is not going to search the personal information of a shopping site and find a cell phone number. It just doesn't work in that manner.

Also, you cannot get someone's private records from a phone number provided to EBay, 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 have now.

Myth #2: Online Phone Directories

If you could go to yellopages.com or other phone directories and identify personal information only from a cell number then there wouldn't be such a hot search for cell phone number reverse lookup directories. Anyone recommending you enter a cell phone number at these phone book sites in order to find the cell phone owner is wasting space and time. Enough said.

The only legitimate way to identify the name listed under that number that has you worried is to pay a nominal price to a trustworthy reverse phone lookup directory. Some websites may charge a very minor fee to access the directory for one number search, while others may give you access to unlimited searches. No matter how much information you get for your money, the fee should be rather cheap for a reputable directory.
