The best way to track any cell phone back to its owner is by using a reverse cell phone directory.
There are a few major reasons why people try to track a cell phone back to its owner. These reasons include putting an end to prank or harassing phone calls,
getting in touch with old friends, avoiding bill collectors or telemarketers, keeping track of who their children are exchanging text messages with, and checking on suspicions of a cheating spouse.
Whatever the reason, this information is very easy to obtain. The only downside is that this information is impossible to find without spending a small amount of money. This is because wireless numbers are considered private information.
Companies like Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon are the owners of this data. They do NOT provide any sort of directory to the public for the information they carry about the mobile numbers they own.
However, they continually lease the most recent and accurate information behind all of the mobile numbers they own to independent data brokers that run their businesses on the Internet. These brokers operate websites where anyone can gain access to an extensive personal information report behind virtually every mobile number in the USA.
So, if you want to find a good directory to work with, just follow these 2 simple and easy tips:
1) Only work with a directory that provides an easy way to get every dollar back you spent on a report if you are not happy with the quality and accuracy of the information contained in the report.
2) Only work with a directory that does NOT ask for money up front. You should never have pay money or disclose your own personal information in exchange for the results of reverse cell phone lookup.
Now, if the number is a listed landline number, all you have to do is consult any of the free public directories to do your reverse phone search. These numbers are a matter of public domain and your search will end with them. White Pages would be my first step.
But if the number happens to be fax, VoIP, unlisted, or wireless, you’ll end up consulting one of the paid reverse cell phone directories. The reason is because these numbers aren’t considered public information and aren’t listed for privacy reasons.
Recently, however, the major wireless carriers began leasing the data behind all the numbers they service to the paid online directories. The directories now offer this information to anyone willing to pay a small fee for the results.
Just enter the number in the site, and you’ll be able to find out the owner’s name, billing address, previous addresses, names of possible relatives and neighbors, wireless carrier, other phone numbers belonging to the owner, and more.
Once the results show up, you will be given a couple of payment options. The first allows you to simply pay for the results of the report you just ran. This is a good option for those that think one single search is all they may ever need this kind of directory.
The second option is a membership, or subscription. This option allows for unlimited searches of certain telephone numbers for as long as the subscription is in effect. It is the best value and one to consider because a reverse cell phone directory is the only place where every type of telephone number can be searched in one place.
