Are Reverse Cell Phone Directories Free?

If you have ever tried to search anyone by cell phone number, one of the first questions that probably pops in your head is whether you’ll be able to find this information for free.  At least that was the case with me.  Is there such a thing as a free reverse cell phone directory?  

After extensive searching, what I found is that this information is never free.  There’s a good reason for this.  Wireless numbers are not a matter of public record.  They aren’t carried in any of the free online directories or the White Pages.  Neither are unlisted or fax numbers, for that matter.  Free online directories are limited to listed landline home and business numbers.  So, while the directories that advertise free reverse cell phone searches may do a good job on delivering owner information on residential and business numbers, they will always come up short with results from wireless, unlisted, and fax numbers.  

Cell phone carriers like Verizon, Sprint, and Nextel have recently begun to sell the information behind wireless numbers to third party sites.  These sites are the resources that now make this information available to anyone.  So, if these sites have paid for the data to begin with, do you think that it would ever be free to the consumer?  Of course not!  You can look and look to your heart’s content, but you will never find the results without a fee attached.  

The most reliable sites offer this information with a money-back guarantee and also allow consumers to search for free to find out if the number they are looking for is maintained in their database.  From there, you can decide whether to purchase the results for a low one –time fee or choose to pay a bit higher fixed fee for the ability to perform unlimited searches.

Since these sites receive their data directly from the wireless carriers, you can be sure the data is accurate and current.  With people changing cell phones so frequently, having access to up to date information is crucial.  The results will reveal the owner’s name, billing address, carrier, owner’s status with that carrier, history of the wireless number, and quite often, other personal information related to the owner such as age and occupation.  

So, if you find yourself in need of a reverse cell phone directory, please keep in mind that these searches are never free.  Once you are resigned to this fact, you will be to choose the most reliable and accurate resource.  The most popular directory on the Internet is referenced below.
