Reverse Phone Lookup For Free

By Marci Glover


The phone rings and you cannot get to it in time. When you check your answering machine, there is no message. As you look at the caller ID, you notice that there is no name or the name is simply "unknown caller". It can be extremely frustrating to sit and wonder who called, but thanks to reverse phone lookup for free services, one can find out all kinds of information. Here is how it works.

Regular Internet telephone directories work by providing you with a telephone number and sometimes a home address. This is done searching for information with a name. A last name is essential and if you have a first name, that will help to narrow down the search. This is great if you have this person's name, but when you only have a number, it is pretty much useless.

A reverse or backward telephone directory works in the opposite way that a normal one does. For example, you have received a call from a specific number. It may or may not have a name with it on your called ID unit. You can find out a great deal of information about the caller, and all you need is the number they called you from.

Using an Internet reverse directory is simple and easy. Go to the homepage of the website and locate the search box. That is where you will place the number that you want information about. When you search this way, you may find the name of your caller in question. Sometimes other contact information may be available like home addresses.

Internet backward number searching will let you know if your caller is using a cell phone or land line service. Yet, that is about the extent of the info you will receive. However, you can get much more when you subscribe to the directory service.

It will cost a nominal fee, but you can search a number and receive much more details, in many cases. Maybe you would like an email address. This could be possible. Many times you will find out where the caller is currently living. You also may discover that birthday details are available. This is a good way to know your caller's age.

Many services will provide you with known relatives of the person that called. This can be very helpful, especially if this is someone from your past that you would like to contact. You can sometimes find out home address history and just how long this individual lived in a specific city or state.

Additional services are often available for a one time search charge. However, if you would like to subscribe for additional searches you can sign up for premium services. Premium search services provide much more information. In fact, this helps you check up on the background of the caller. For example, you can find out if your caller is a known scammer or if this person attended a specific college or school. These services are private and confidential and the person in question is not notified of your search.
