Which Phone Numbers Can You Reverse For Free
Most of us don't like to pay for everything, they prefer to get everything's for free. This is the reason why the search engines receive billions of queries containing a phrase "free". The situation is no different with reverse cell phone look ups. Most of the people who look for them wants the service to be free, but they don't usually know that there are only certain phone numbers which are reversible for free. Other types of numbers cannot be looked up free of charge and hence you have to find a good cell phone lookup provider in order to manage to find the owner of the phone number.
If you want to reverse a phone number of a land line,
there is no need to pay for that. Residential phone numbers are publicly available information so everyone can access it, resell as well create his own phone directory containing these phone numbers. In the internet there are several websites which offer free access to phone number directories. My favourite is WhitePages which offer an easy to use interface and probably the biggest phone numbers database. They claim to have more than 400,00,000 records available and the number still grows due to the fact that still new local phone directories are aggregated into this huge database.
However, there are certain land line phone numbers that can not be found in such public phone directories. These phone numbers are commonly called "unlisted" and these numbers of people who asked the phone directories providers to remove their number from publicly available resources. There are quite a lot of such people nowadays, which means that WhitePages and sites like this aren't the best source to check for all the phone numbers.
There are numbers called toll free and these numbers are usually owned by businesses and serve their purpose as help desks or some information lines. There are a few directories of such phone numbers in the internet so when you want to find out what company is behind this phone number, you will have to find one of them and check the phone number there.
The last category are cell phone numbers which the most difficult numbers to reverse since they can't be published in any publicly available phone directory. The only way to find the owner or some more details about a certain cell phone number is to use a reverse cell phone lookup, service offered by some companies who aggregated most of the US cellular phone numbers into one big database.
