Free reverse cell phone directory?

Is there such a thing as a free reverse cell phone directory?

Many online websites advertise - free reverse cell phone directory lookup -  but then after entering your info and clicking through a few pages you always and up at a page where there is a fee for the complete information?!

Is there really an internet resource which offers a free reverse phone directory?

I don't believe there is such a thing as a free reverse cell phone directory , well certainly not for Joe public anyway. The information that you require is kept by the large cell phone companies who then charge to release the information , unless you have an FBI badge on your chest or something ...

 

The companies who charge a fee to reverse lookup cell phone numbers are the ones who have bought the information from the cell phone companies.

 

I spent hours online visiting at least 3 "Free" reverse cell phone directories before I realized all this. Each time I tediously filled in all the information, only to be directed to a page where you are given incomplete details (perhaps the city and state where the person resides) and are then asked to pay to see the rest of the info! Grrrrr , I wish they would be upfront with that ...



Anyway, after trial and error I use Reverse cell phone directory Detective , there is a fee, but they're straight up, quick and have complete information! Why do I say complete information ? ....

 

Before I used the reverse cell phone directory I used a similar service (best not mention names) , and after paying they provided a list of surnames and then a long page of first names that could possibly match?!? What help is that?


Hope that clears up the free reverse cell phone directory anomaly , and perhaps you can learn (and save money) from my mistakes.

All the best.

 

....

Yes, I believe Indiana is correct, there is no such thing as a free reverse cell phone directory,

The mobile phone companies sell that information to private companies who then create their own directories, and then we have to pay for that information.

Hope that helps,

Cheers

How can I locate the owner of a specific cell phone number?

Is there a free reverse cell phone directory or something like that?

Cellular numbers contain private information that has to be searched through a third party for a small fee. There is quite a bit of useful info returned such as name, location, cell carrier and often date of birth, etc.

nope, it's not like a land line number that might be in a reverse phone directory, no such thing with cell phone numbers.

The best method to find a good reverse cellphone directory lookup is to use a pay directory. This is by far the best way to trace any phone number. These directories are specifically created for his purpose. They get the information from major communication companies and lease it out to the general public for a little fee. This fee is however very small.So my best advise for reverse cellphone number lookup is to pay for it.

All the best

There is no registry, database or directory of cell phone records so no free source for such info?
You need to buy info from an agency that specializes in reverse cell phone number tracing.
