Reverse Text Message Lookup - How Is It Done?

We've all had them, haven't we? The texts that say something like "c u @ 8" - with no signature

. It's amazing how many people just think you will know who they are when they phone, text, email or write. They phone and launch straight into the conversation without telling you their name. I usually hope that if they keep talking for long enough I'll work out who it is!

With texts, you don't have the luxury of taking time to recognize the caller's voice. If it's a simple text like the one I suggested above you can just text back and ask who sent it. But what if you start receiving several texts from the same cell number - and what if some of them are more sinister or unpleasant? It's easy for men of all ages to send suggestive "sexts" to a girl's cell phone (and vice versa, of course). After a while these can go from being annoying to becoming seriously upsetting.

You could try calling the number, but if the sender has devious or malicious intentions they are hardly likely to answer and tell you who they are. They will see your number displayed on their phone and either not answer or reject the call.

You need to find a way of identifying the texter if you want the texts to stop. Fortunately, you should be able to see the sender's cell number displayed along with the message. Once you know the number you will need to turn to the internet. Start by just typing the number into a search engine. If the caller has harassed others then you might find that someone, somewhere has written about it online on a blog or forum and left the caller's number as a warning to others. If the sender of the texts is stupid enough to be using a cell phone that belongs to someone else or runs a business, you might get lucky and find that the number is listed as a business number - many small businesses have websites and list their contact details.

If this doesn't work, you are a bit stuck. White Pages only lists landline numbers and it is unlikely that a malicious texter will be using a landline - it's too easy to trace. Somehow people feel that using a cell phone makes them anonymous. It doesn't, and there is something you can do to find the number's owner.

You will need to find a reverse cell phone lookup service. Fortunately there are several of these. There will be a charge for the service as these are companies that employ staff to help you and who also have to purchase and collate the databases of numbers that they use.
