Are cell number lookups free?

March 15th, 2010 | by real |

Is it really possible to run a free cell phone number search on the Web? Many of us have been dismayed or frustrated previously with programs that appear to provide free services online, but in reality are not. Is this the case for the cell phone search?

To begin let us discuss what we mean by a phone number search. When you have the home phone number but no idea who the number belongs to. You may use a reverse lookup site like Google to see the details. This can be very useful in situations where you lost contact with someone but still have their number, or just to check who owns the phone number. There are many places where you can make these business and residential phone inquiries online searches for free, including fax phone numbers.

Often times though, a problem arises when you need to run a reverse lookup on a cell phone as the free directories won’t contain such phone numbers. So, if you’re trying to find an Alberta cell number you may have a problem. These databases do not contain cell phone numbers as this information is only in the hands of carriers and telecommunications companies. Do these records exist & are they available at no cost?

The good news is that there are programs that offer a large number of cell phone numbers, but they aren’t free. These sites of course need to pay a premium to access some of this data, and go to the trouble and expense of obtaining all data in one place and therefore, you need to pay a small fee for access to their database. Often times though, the fee is generally a one-time fee and you can do as many searches as you want. These records typically include cell owner details, address , carrier information, and the phone type and connection status. We should mention that the databases offered by individual companies differ to some degree, but most include cell phones, residential, business, fax, toll-free and pagers. With these programs your searches are guaranteed legal & confidential.

We’ve seen websites that claim to provide free cell research, but that has always led to web sites charging a price in the end. Some do allow people to search for free and then see the results. The sad truth is that the only place where you will find detailed reverse cell records is within the legitimate paid directories. In conclusion, cell phone searches are not free. However, if you really need to access this information, we think that it is worth the fee.
