We're here today to teach you about a way to find out information about almost anyone, with only a phone number to start from! With only this one piece of information to work from, you can find name, address and even more. Amazing, yes? It's easier than you may think.
Cell phones and unpublished numbers are a problem though. Not in the public domain and by definition, unlisted - it can be very hard to find out who belongs to these numbers. No phone book can help you here, but don't despair. It can be done.
There are companies out there who put together databases of phone numbers, along with information about the number holders. They then put searchable directories together from this information which are available for people to query. These companies pay for access to unlisted numbers and cell phone records, which is how they are able to make this information available.
These directories are called "reverse phone directories" and are searchable through your web browser. Searches are performed by looking up a number rather than a name (thus the "reverse" part). Just enter the number and hit search, the built in search engine will take things from there. The results will be displayed if any information is available about the owner of the number.
You can use the link at the bottom of this article to try a free sample search and see how this works.
These services are not free, but they are not terribly expensive; and if they can get you the information you're seeking, they are arguably well worth the cost. Many of these directories just charge a one time fee for access to their directory - which is the way to go if you will need to perform searches fairly often. This way you can avoid having to pay each time you want to investigate a number using the directory.
This service can be useful for different reasons - you might want to "investigate" a phone number that keeps showing up on your spouse's phone or perhaps there's a number that keeps prank calling you. It's a good tool to have whenever you need to look into someone but only have their number.
Before you do use a paid service, you can try out a quick way to see if you can find the same information without paying a dime. It will sometimes work, so even though a paid search isn't expensive, you may as well give it a shot to see what you get.
A paid search isn't terribly expensive, but Google is worth a try nonetheless. You may be surprised!
If this number can be found on the internet, Google will find it for you. Phone numbers sometimes end up on websites, in advertisements and so on. In these cases, you may just be able to find these numbers online.
If you get a "hit" from Google, have a look at the webpage and see what information you can find out. If you don't, you know you can always use the regular paid service.
Working from only a number, you can learn a lot about someone; thanks to reverse phone directories, this is easier than ever.
