subject: Free Reverse Phone Directory For Cell Phones - Does One Exist? [print this page] Have you been searching for a free reverse phone directory to use for cellular phone numbers that show up from time to time either on your caller ID or even on your cellular bill at the end of the month?
If you have been looking for any period of time at all, I'm sure that you already know just how difficult finding this type of resource can be. The problem really isn't finding a directory in and of itself, but finding a free reverse phone directory that gives results for cell phone numbers takes a little bit of digging. Locating a free reverse phone directory for other types of lines such as home telephones or even business lines is something that can be done with relative ease, by simply going to an online phone book and using their reverse lookup feature.
However, cell numbers are a little bit different though. This is true because the numbers that the cellular companies issue are considered private and are not yet out in the public domain. This means that a cellular company such as Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Cingular so far have not allowed a company to include their numbers and share them the same way that other numbers are.
Because of this, we have had to rely on private firms which have been compiling information on over 94% of all cell numbers that are currently in circulation, but that brings us back to our question.
Does a free reverse phone directory for cell phones exist? No, as of right now there is no such thing as a free directory. There hare however, several good resources that we can use that are very cheap alternatives. It is important for you to understand before even attempting to do this type of lookup that you will always be asked to pay a small fee that is nominal in nature.
Sure, you will see a ton of advertisements for free reverse cell phone lookups, but trust me when I tell you that they are advertising falsely and in the end, before they give you any information whatsoever, you will always be asked to pay. If you have been looking for this type of resource for any amount of time, you already know that to be true though. Save yourself some time and aggravation by using a service and resource that is honest and upfront with you about not only their service, but any fees that are associated with it.
