Now imagine this- you have just had someone call you on the phone, and you need to find out the owner of the number ( this could be for several reasons I won't go into now). What do you do? How do you go about finding the information on the person who owns that number? I know you're going to say what about caller ID - well if it was that easy then your problem would be solved already. The best way to do this is to use a reverse phonebook. There are a lot of these available on the net, many claiming to be free. However, be careful that you read the fine print, any site that has quality information and a large phone number database will justifiably charge you for their services.
These services are normally not just limited to landlines. A reverse cellphone lookup can also be carried out at the same site. This is an easy way to track down information about the owner of any mobile phone number. If you suspect your husband/wife is cheating on you, if you think your children are hanging out with the wrong crowd, if you're receiving prank calls, a reverse phonebook can get you what you want to know.
Cell phone numbers are generally considered and treated more privately than landlines, they are not therefore collected in any centralized database. Services that do put such a database together must therefore charge a fee to use them. This fee is normally used by the company to pay for access to large cell phone providers databases.
A quality site will charge you a one off fee to join their site, when you have paid your fee you can search as many times as you want within our database. After you sign up to a site, you can start your first reverse phone lookup immediately. This is usually done by entering the number whose owner you want to find into a search box. All the information about the person that you need is immediately accessible.
These databases are often extensive, and can give you access to a vast amount of background information on the owner of the phone number.
