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

That is because there is no hidden website. If free cell phone reverse lookup was out there, it wouldn't be hard to find because it would be spread passed around over night. This is a service in high demand since cell phone numbers are not compiled in the same manner as landline numbers.

displaying all listed cell phone numbers in a publically accessible directory would make life simpler when you want to find out exactly who is bothering you, but it would also eliminate some of the perks of a cell phone. There is a level of security knowing that a bill collector can't just dial your cell number and begin calling at all hours.

Articles and other internet resources claiming to provide free reverse phone look up for cell phone numbers often rely on methods that plainly are not accurate and rarely, if ever, provide the results you need. Listening to their advice will be a huge waste of time, and here is why.

Myth #1: Using Search Engines

Some websites suggest going to Google or any other internet search engine and simply searching for the phone number in question. This is rumored to direct you to sites where the owner of that number has posted their contact information, which may include the cell phone number. The problem is very few people post their cell phone number on websites for the exact reason most people would prefer it not be broadcasted in a phone book for anyone to search: they don't want strange people calling their cell phone.

It is sometimes believed that cell phone numbers may be pulled from auction sites such as EBay or shopping webpages where the owner may have previously bought something, but this is quite useless to your situation. These sites do not openly reveal contact information used in a purchase, otherwise no one would buy from them over the internet. When you pay for an item online, including Ebay, you use a protected set up where your information is not open to public access. A search engine is not going to dig through the contact records of a shopping source and find a cell phone number. It simply doesn't work in that manner.

Also, you cannot find someone's private records from a phone number saved 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 whitepages.com or other phone listings and find private information only from a cell phone number then there wouldn't be such a high demand for cell phone number reverse lookup services. Anyone recommending you type in a cell phone number at these common sites in order to find the cell phone owner is wasting space and time. Enough said.

The only legitimate way to find the name listed under that number that has you curious is to render a nominal price to a reputable reverse phone lookup website. Some services may charge a very nominal fee to use the service for one lookup, while others may give you access to an endless number of lookups. No matter what you get for your money, the charge should be relatively small with a legitimate directory.
