Luckily, in 2009 we can easily find out exactly who owns a mobile or land line phone number, all in just a few minutes. Don't believe me? People do it thousands of times a day and you can too--even law enforcement and ambulance response teams use these services to find out where someone lives or who an anonymous tipper is. If these highly regarded agencies and services use this technology, then you can too to find out exactly who is calling or owns a phone number. Here's how we can get started. The first thing you want is a ten digit phone number of the person who you want to trace. This means the 3 digit area code plus the 7 digit phone number. Having the area code is completely necessary, so don't forget to write it down. If on your caller ID you saw no area code, assume it's the same as yours, this is usually the case. The next thing you want to do is locate a service that let's you trace telephone numbers. Believe it or not there are a lot of them available. Just use your favorite search engine to find a good one to use. Try searching Google or Yahoo! After you have found a site to use, you should be prompted to enter in the phone number. Simply type it in and begin the search. The service should give you a prompt that it is searching and to wait a few minutes. After a while, the information will pop up on screen and you will have the option to purchase even more detailed information (like address and background checks).
