Online Reverse Phone Lookup For Free Services

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.

A normal online telephone directory works by searching for a person's number with a name. You also will need to use a location if you want to pinpoint your search. This is an excellent way to find out someone's telephone number. However, you also can find other information like current addresses. Yet, a normal online search is of little use if you do not have the person's name.

An online reverse or backwards directory does not work like conventional search services. For instance, many calls come in without an identifying name with the number. This is no problem as long as you have a complete telephone number with the area code. This will help you find out who is calling your phone.

Visit a free Internet reverse directory and all you have to do is place a number is their searching box. This will bring up information on that specific telephone number. You may receive the name that is registered to the number and also a home address. Yet, this does not work with all numbers, especially with certain cell numbers.

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.

For a small fee, you may be able to discover a great deal about the party that has called. For instance, email addresses are sometimes available. This lets you contact someone by email, even if their current number is not available. Home address may be obtainable and many times birthday information can be found. For example, this will give you the age of the calling party.

Perhaps you would like to know more about your caller. You may not only discover who is calling, but you could find known relatives of this person. Address history can be received and this is important information if you are trying to track down someone from the past.

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.
