Free Reverse Phone Number Lookup And Cell Phone Directory Search

How to do a free reverse phone number lookup? This question has been asked many times but a lot of people are still confused about which information on what numbers they can access for free online.

Long story short

To make a long story short, there are many different types of numbers - land line, mobile, fax, pager, VoIP - just to name a few. All these numbers are collected in different databases with varying access priviledges. For example, land line numbers which are published in YP phone books can be searched online for free. Landline business and personal numbers can be accessed to find out who they belong to.

Cell phone numbers, on the other hand, are privately published by specialized directories that use various public and private sources to build their data sets.

Oftentimes, you might not know which number has been calling you so your first step should be to check out some basic details about it - its phone line type, service company and approximate issuing location. You can check this info by doing a free reverse phone lookup. If the number is unpublished you will be offered some options where to look it up.
