Many of you have become disillusioned and upsed in the past with site which appear to offer free stuff or services on the internet but in reality do not. Is this the case with cell phone number lookups?

First of all let us examine exactly what I 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 someone’s phone number but lost his contact, 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.

However, a problem arises when you need to run a reverse lookup on a cell phone 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. How can I find those records? Do they exist? Can I use the servie for free?

The good news is there are websites which claim to offer large numbers of cell phone numbers, but they are not free. 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 a small fee you is charged before we can access the lookup databases. The again the fee is a one-off payment and with some web services you can run as many searches as you like, with others they offer a single lookup for a lower fee. All the records they declare to offer contain cell phone owner details, address history, carrier details, and the phone connection status. The information provided by each company might differ a little bit, 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 of information such as background checks and background reports, people finder databases, bankruptcies, liens, public records databases including births, deaths, marriages, divorces and adoptions, sex offender records, police records, and much more. Those web services operate in the same way, offering access to specific types of information for a set fee, however it should be explained that you will not be given access to such information as part of your cell phone lookup site membership.

I’ve seen a handful of web services that claim to offer free cell lookups, but they always lead eventually to the paid sites in the end, 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 cell phone lookups do not currently exist. In spite of this, if you really want to access such records then I believe paying a small fee is a price worth paying.
