How to Trace Cell Phone Numbers

Don't you hate it when you get a weird call from a number you don't recognize? Do you take the call or not? And then they never leave a voice mail, right?

What about harassing calls from prank callers or bill collectors? Don't you wish you could find out who they are? After all, information is power.

Well, it used to be practically impossible trace cell phone numbers or get names and addresses from numbers. The phone companies looked at cell phone numbers the same way they did unlisted numbers. Have you ever seen a phone book for cell phone numbers? Of course not. And the phone companies have no interest in making those numbers available to the public, so it's always been difficult to find out who was calling and harassing you. But not anymore.

Thanks to the hard work of some dedicated folks, there are now a bunch of different reverse look up sites available on the internet. They are easy to use, reasonably priced and highly effective - if you pick the right one. If you pick the wrong one you're just going to be throwing your money away. But there's a simple way to know that you are picking a good site that has the information you are looking for.

When you are looking at a reverse look up site, check to see if they have a "try before you buy" policy. In other words, see if they will allow you to type in a number and find out if they have the name and address of the person who owns that phone before you pay them any money. The good sites will allow you to do this because they have great information and nothing to hide.

When you find a site that allows you to try before you buy, you can use it with confidence because you know they have the information you need.
