Cell Phone Comparison Blog

Is it possible to find out who call  us using the internet? Many people have become disappointed and frustrated in the past with web sites which look as if they would offer free stuff or services on the internet but in fact don’t. Is this the case with cell phone number lookups?

Firstly let us examine closely what we mean by a phone number lookup. If you have in your possession a residential phone number but no idea who the number belongs to or from which address is coming from you can use a “reverse lookup” service to find out those details. This can obviously be very useful in situations where you have lost contact with someone but still have a record of their phone number, or simply wish to verify who owns the number before mistakenly phoning the wrong number. There are many places you can perform such residential and business phone lookups online free of charge, including toll-free numbers.

On the other hand, there is a problem when you need to run a reverse lookup on a cellphone as the free directories do not contain any such numbers. Similarly they don’t contain fax numbers as this information is only held by the phone carriers and telecommunications companies. Do these records exist, and are they free?

The good news is there are services available that offer large numbers of cell phone numbers, however they charge a fee for that. Naturally those kind of services has to pay in order to have access to the database which the cell phone numbers are, and they also have to gather all this information in one place easy for us to lookup, and as a result you will be charged a small fee before you can access the lookup databases. The again the fee is a one-off payment and with some websites you can run as many searches as you like, with others they offer a single lookup for a lower fee. The records they declare to offer include cell phone owner details, address history, carrier details, and the phone connection status. It is also worth noting that the databases offered by each company differ to some degree, but most of them include cell phones and often residential, business, toll-free, even pagers, and these websites say your searches are guaranteed legal and confidential.

Additionall to reverse lookups there are another kind of web services which offer access to different types of information such as background checks and people finder databases, background reports, liens, bankruptcies, public records databases including births, police records, deaths, divorces and adoptions, sex offender records, marriages, and much more. Those web services operate in the same way, they offer access to the database full of information for a fee, however it should be noted that you will not obtain access to such information as part of your cell phone lookup site membership.

I have seen websites claiming to offer free cell lookups, but in the end of the process will lead to paid service, even allowing people to search for free and then charging to view the results. It is the sad truth that the only place where you are likely to find detailed reverse cell records is within the legitimate paid directories. To wrap up, the answer is no, free cellphone lookups do not currently exist. In spite of this, if you really need to access such records then I believe paying a small fee is a price worth paying.
