Free Phone Number Reverse Look Up Services – Do They Really Allow You to Lookup on a Cell Phone Number for Free?

Do you think it’s really possible to perform a reverse phone search on the Internet? I bet you were disillusioned at least once if you tried to perform a free cellular number lookup only to find out in the end that it is not free. Can this happen with any online phone reverse lookup service?

Let’s see what an online reverse lookup service is all about. If you have a landline number and you don’t know who this number belongs to or if you want to know the address corresponding to that phone number you can perform a “reverse phone lookup” to get all those details.

Of course this is very helpful if you have lost contact with someone but you still have their number, or if you just want to confirm who owns that number before calling the wrong one by mistake.

You can search by yourself on the Internet or phone books for some info related on business, residential, and tool-free numbers for free.

But when you search for a cellular phone number the free online directories may not have that number. They don’t contain even fax numbers because these numbers are only available at the telecommunications and phone carriers. Is it possible to access these records for free?

There is good news fortunately. There are available online directories which contain almost every phone number on their database but this service is not free. Naturally you have to pay to access the desired information, and in return for the directories work in order to get your desired info all in the same place in a matter of seconds, they charge you a small fee before you can lookup at their database.

This fee is a One-Time payment and with Phone Detective you can perform all the searches you want. Other services available offer a single reverse phone lookup for an even lower fee. They state their records include cell owner details, carrier details, address history, and the phone connection status.

The companies’ records differ from each other in some degree but the most part of them include the main data, relative to cell phones, residential, business, pagers, tool-free numbers, and all of this is made with absolute confidentiality and within the law.

Besides the online reverse lookup services there are also websites which give you access to some information like people finder databases, public record databases featuring births, deaths, divorces, marriages, bankruptcy, police records, sex offender records and much more.

This kind of sites function like the reverse lookup directories and they give you access to their information by a fee. Remember however that you can’t access this info from your reverse phone lookup membership.

I’ve seen a lot of websites offering free reverse phone lookups and I followed up just to see in the end that they were paid services. They allow you to search for free and they just charge you if you want to see the results.

As a matter of fact, it’s sad that the only reliable service where you can find the phone lookup information is on the paid online databases.

In the end there are no free lookup services on the Internet. But if you really need to access some information on a phone number I believe that it is worth paying a small fee in return.
