How To Find Out The Owner Of Any Phone Number - Introducing A Free Reverse Phone Search

You have probably had a time where you wanted to know who was the owner of a particular phone number. I thought it would be helpful to quickly show you a way to find out the full name, address and background information of someone by having nothing but their phone number.

As you probably already know, cell phone numbers and unlisted numbers aren't in any phonebook. This means they aren't in any "public domain" so these phone records aren't available to the general public.

Because of this , it used to be next to impossible to find out information about the owner of a phone number when you needed it.

However, as the number of cell phones and unlisted numbers increased, a few smart business people started companies that specialize in gathering information for every type of phone record. They pay money to have access to unlisted and cell phone records and then build databases that people can search through.

This type of search is called a "reverse phone search" and can be done online. You just enter the phone number you are looking for information on, and the owner's full name, address, location details and background information is instantly displayed on your phone.

As you can imagine there is a fee for this service, but it isn't expensive. One thing you should look for is a company that charges a one-time fee for unlimited searches. You are only billed once and can then run as many searches as you want.

We did include a link at the bottom of this article so you can try a free sample reverse phone search. It's neat to see just how much you can find out about someone when all you have is their phone number.

There's a quick trick you can use to see if you can find out the same information for free. It's simple - Just go to Google and type in the phone number in this format: "555-555-5555" and hit search.

If this phone has ever been published on a webpage before Google will bring it up for you. You may be able to find out what you need if the person's name and information are published online with the phone number. Even though the paid services are only a few dollars, you may as well try this trick to see if you can save a couple of bucks!

Using a reverse phone search can come in handy in many different situations. You might want to know who has been calling you without leaving a message or perhaps there's a number on your spouse's cell phone you don't recognize.
