Free Reverse Phone Searches ? How Do They Work?

By Sam Lockwood

Imagine being able to simply key in a phone number and then being able to know exactly who that number belongs to. It's possible to do just that with what is known as a "reverse phone lookup". Not only is it a neat way to get information on someone but also an incredibly useful tool.

It would be fair to say that the leading reasons for people wanting to do reverse phone searchers, is to verify a caller's identity, to inquire as to who owns a specific number of a call they missed and furthermore, to run a personal check on some of the numbers which have been dialled or received on a spouse or partner's phone if there is any suspicion of cheating.

It has only been in very recent times that more and more database are becoming available and this alone has made reverse look-ups possible

Nowadays however, with the internet at everybody's fingertips, finding out information regarding a phone number has never been easier. In fact, there are numerous companies dedicated entirely to this type of service who can provide information regarding almost all phone numbers.

Admittedly, in most cases there is a charge involved for performing a reverse look-up but considering the charge is miniscule, everyone can afford it. Alternatively, there are also other possible ways of getting this information for free.

Try this free version of a reverse phone search - it won't take long and it's easy to do. Using Google, simply enter the phone number into the search box between quotation marks and hit the search button.

The success of this search will be dependent on whether or not the owner of the number has ever published the number online, for example, as part of a profile on one of the social networking sites. If they have, you can be sure Google will find it and you can take a look at the information that is displayed on the webpage.

As a rule of thumb, paid services provide both employment history and address history in addition to name and current address so if Google has let you down, you may want to consider a paid service.

If you decide on using a paid service, you'd be bettor off to avoid using companies which charge you per search. Rather, companies that charge a one-time fee upon sign-up are far better value, allowing members to conduct an unlimited amount of searches. You're never billed again when you need to use this type of search.

When one considers the small fee these companies charge, the ability to perform reverse phone searches is an exceptional feature to have at your disposal.
