Today might be the information age. Gadgets like 3G and 3.5G cell phones have made it possible to receive high end internet speed at our fingertips. The distances are becoming shorter day by day with the help of social networking sites. However, there are times when even such high powered devices render themselves useless. You might be needing information about a person, but you are not able to locate the information.
If you are looking for the name and address of an unknown person, an online phone directory would be a good place to start. The yellow and the white pages are free listing directories that have the information regarding registered landline users. All landline users (unless they request otherwise specifically) are listed on the white or yellow pages when they buy the connection. This is however not the same in the case of cell phones. With the increasing dependency on cell phones, landlines are almost becoming obsolete. Everybody uses a cell phone to make most of their calls. In such cases, it would be difficult to locate the name and address of an unknown stranger when you are equipped with just his mobile number.
You need an online reverse cell phone look up directory. However, these services are not free. This is mainly because of the federal law that states cell phones are a person's private property, and he need not display them at public places where they might become easily accessible to unwanted sources, like telemarketers. There are however, paid online reverse cell phone look up services. These companies can provide you all the information you need about a particular cell number for a small fee. Beware however of fake companies. It would be advisable to read the reviews of a company before using its services.
