reverse directory lookup

If you rarely get calls that refuse to leave a message, you may not care about such calls. Don't you just wish there was a way to look up information about people if all you knew about them was their phone number?

Some searches may not give you much, but they may tell you if a number is landline or mobile. This form of investigation can be a very useful tool if you need to discover and track down information about a harassing prank caller or find out who your significant other has been talking to behind your back. Among these features is the Google Directory, which offers free reverse phone number searches for residential and business landlines.

Although your first defense for this kind of problem is to report the calls to the authorities, knowing who the caller is, will help you report more information about the caller. You can usually search for a cell phone number or you can get a membership. All you need to do is to enter the number you are searching for, the area code and 7 digit number and the service will run through its database and return your matched results.

The whole process of signing up with paid services is simple and the search is effortless. Also, if you want the trace to be kept private, you are better off with paid rather than free reverse phone directories.
