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.
As you probably already know, unlisted and cell phone numbers are not in any phonebook. This means they aren't in any "public domain" so information on these types of phones is not easy to get a hold of.
There are firms who are in the business of compiling lists of every phone number. Out of these lists, directories are built which hold every phone number that they can find. These companies pay for access to this information, which can then be searched to find out information on the owners of certain numbers.
These searches can be performed over the web on these directories. Known as "reverse phone directories" since they allow for lookup by number rather than by name, one just enters the number and allows the directory's search engine to handle the rest. The results, hopefully information on the number holder, will be displayed.
You can use the link at the bottom of this article to try a free sample search and see how this works.
There is generally a cost to use these services, but don't fret. It's quite reasonable, and some sites charge a one time fee for unlimited usage of their database. If you think you may need this sort of service often, this will be the best idea for you - no need to pay a fee each and every time you need to look up a number in 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.
All you have to do is go to Google and punch in the phone number into the search box. You will want to use the following format: "555-555-5555" and make sure you use the quotation marks. Hit the search button and then take a look at the search results that appear.
If this phone number is online on some webpage, then Google will bring it up for you. Phone numbers will make their way on the internet for a few different reasons (classified ads, profile pages etc) so there's a chance the number you are "investigating" might just be on the web.
If your number can't be found this way, then on to the directories. Don't pass up a web search though, you never know where phone numbers will turn up.
It's amazing how much you can learn from just a phone number. You can find out all sorts of information about someone through one of these directories.
