Reverse Cell Phone Directory - How To Find Cell Phone Numbers

If you're looking for the owner of a cell phone number, you have three options. You can:

1. Run your own cell phone number lookup

2. Hire a PI to trace the cell phone

3. Access a reverse cell phone number directory

Each of these strategies has it's own benefits - and it's own drawbacks. Let's take a look at each opportunity 1-by-1.

Option 1: Run Your Own Cell Phone Number Lookup

Most people start their search for a cell phone number by typing the number into Google or a major white pages directory like Whitepages.com or Anywho.com

This is a good place to start, but if you're looking for the owner of a cell phone number, it's probably not going to do anything for you.

If this doesn't work, you can do one of two things. You can either choose to move on and pay a few dollars for a premium lookup, or you can continue to search reverse directories for the cell phone number you are looking for.

Or, you can continue to search for the number on your own. This is a free solution... and it's really the ONLY free solution... so if you want to get the information without taking out your credit card.... Follow these steps:

• Search Google/ Google.ca / Google.co.uk / etc. for the various formats of the number. (555-555-5555, 5555555555, 555/555/5555, 555.555.5555, etc.)
• Search "complaint" networks like 800notes.com or WhoCalled.us to see if other people are looking for the number.
• Search MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, and other social network pages for the number.
• Search blogs and personal web pages for the cell phone number.
• Call the number and ask who the owner is.
• Post a notice on a site like WhoCallsMe.com asking who the owner is. If the phone owner ever searches their own number, they'll see the notice.
• Search opt-in cell phone directories like NationalCellularDirectory.com. If the user registered their phone number, it may be included.

Time Required: 3-5 hours.

Cost: Free

Option 2: Hire A PI To Trace The Cell Phone

While searching for a phone number on your own takes a long time, and has a very small chance of success... hiring a PI is fast and you' can usually get the results you need... but you PAY A LOT for it!

Many private investigators charge nearly $100 for a single cell phone number lookup!

Why so expensive?

Well, when you hire a private investigator, you're paying 3 times for the service.

• You're paying for their time
• You're paying for the access to the information
• You're paying for expertise of where to look.

Time Required: 10 Minutes

Cost: $100

Option 3: Access A Reverse Cell Phone Number Directory

In my opinion this is the best option... it's the "just right" fit between option 1 and option 3. There are many new reverse cell phone directories that can provide you with the information you're looking for quickly and eaily... but since you're running the search yourself, you don't have to pay a PI huge fees to run the search.

While these services do charge, the $15-$20 fee is far less than the $100 that a PI may charge... and when you consider all the time that you'd spend running the search alone... this search makes a lot of sense.

If you do choose to pay for access to a reverse cell phone directory, make sure that it comes with a money-back guarantee and provides customer support to customers. This means you won't pay for something that doesn't help you.

Time Required: 20 Minutes

Cost: $15
