Finding Cell Phone Number Reverse Lookup Explained

By Martin Masterson


People need to do a reverse lookup for a variety of reasons. For example, it can be on account of having a phone number but you may have forgotten who it belongs to or it could be that you are being troubled by prank telephone calls or it could even be to find a name behind a telephone number you saw in your spouse's phone book.

No matter why you wish to make a reverse lookup it is important that when the phone number you wish to check is a cell phone number you will not find it easy to do the required lookup. This is because of the fact that you cannot gain access to any publicly held databases that list cell phone numbers.

Instead, these numbers are all stored in databases maintained by cell phone operators.

Such databases are however not available to the general public which means that your only hope of accessing such databases would be by finding companies that buy access to these databases. Cell phone companies are known to sell the details regarding their cell phone numbers to those companies who can pay them the required amount.

Once these companies gain access to the database they will then compile suitable lists that are then offered to the ordinary consumer who has to pay to find the names and addresses from the phone number.

Availing of these databases of course means having to spend some money which then gives you unlimited access to the information that you want. Sometimes, the companies ask for an annual fee which provides you with the opportunity to do as many reverse lookups as you need to do during the lifetime of your membership. Your best bet is to find companies that have the information you need and then you can pay them their fee and find the names that you want to find.
