Online Reverse Phone Lookup For Free Services

By Marci Glover


The phone rings and you cannot get to it in time. When you check your answering machine, there is no message. As you look at the caller ID, you notice that there is no name or the name is simply "unknown caller". It can be extremely frustrating to sit and wonder who called, but thanks to reverse phone lookup for free services, one can find out all kinds of information. Here is how it works.

Regular Internet telephone directories work by providing you with a telephone number and sometimes a home address. This is done searching for information with a name. A last name is essential and if you have a first name, that will help to narrow down the search. This is great if you have this person's name, but when you only have a number, it is pretty much useless.

A reverse or backward telephone directory works in the opposite way that a normal one does. For example, you have received a call from a specific number. It may or may not have a name with it on your called ID unit. You can find out a great deal of information about the caller, and all you need is the number they called you from.

Visit a free Internet reverse directory and all you have to do is place a number is their searching box. This will bring up information on that specific telephone number. You may receive the name that is registered to the number and also a home address. Yet, this does not work with all numbers, especially with certain cell numbers.

When you use a free backward telephone number search, you will find out if the number is a land line or mobile phone. However, you might want to find more extensive information about someone. This is possible when you subscribe to the service.

It will cost a nominal fee, but you can search a number and receive much more details, in many cases. Maybe you would like an email address. This could be possible. Many times you will find out where the caller is currently living. You also may discover that birthday details are available. This is a good way to know your caller's age.

A more detailed search from a service may provide you with other contacts of the caller in question. This could include relatives that you may wish to locate. Home address history is often available and this could tell you if your caller used to live in your home town.

One time search services can be helpful but if you want more details, consider premium searching services. This is often available with a monthly or annual fee and will give you many more searches. Maybe you would like to do a background search on someone. You can find out if the caller is a known telemarketer or scammer. In some cases, you may learn about former classmates and schools that a caller attended. You receive complete confidentiality with the service, and your caller does not know about your searching.
