A free reverse cell phone search can certainly be done, and if you follow these steps, it won't take you much longer than 5 minutes to find out any number you want to look up.
1.
Use a voluntary cell phone lookup directory.
These free directories are becoming quite common nowadays.
People can voluntarily enter their number to be found by people all over the world.
The only real problem all these directories share is that not many people really want to enter their own, private cell phone number.
You have probably heard about people getting prank or even threatening calls who have published their number on the internet.
However, you might still be lucky and find the number using these directories, so it's worth a try.
2.
If you haven't been able to find the number on voluntary cell phone directories, you could try using a search engine like Yahoo or Google.
People publish all kind of information on their business or private websites nowadays, including their cell phone number.
A search on your favourite search engine might reveal the owner of the number you want to look up.
To improve the quality of the search results, use quotation marks to search for the number.
3.
The last and probably also most successful method to do a reverse cell phone search is using a cell phone lookup service.
These services provide you with a full report on the cell phone number, including the owner's name, their full address, an address history, and more.
