How To Trace Telephone Number

By Tina Davidson

Ever ran to a phone or woke up in the middle of the night to answer a phone only to find that its a prank call? Have you received a call from an unknown or unlisted phone number on your home or cell phone lately? If you are as fed up as I am then go through this brief article.

I will provide a quick review of on tracing phone numbers and before I finish the article i, will discuss briefly a way to deal with the prank callers.

Incase you were not aware; it is possible to perform a reverse phone lookup to trace the owner of that strange phone number. You can also find reverse phone details on the person who keeps calling you. Keying in a phone number and then finding out whose it is can do this.

In most instances, the reverse search service providers will charge you for using their service but it is possible to find those that offer it free of charge. So to reverse phone trace any of type of cell, mobile, or unlisted telephone number, you need to pay and that is the sad truth. Do not give up just yet I will show you how you can do it without paying any one.

The reverse phone look up service process

This are sites that collect data from different places like public records centers. The information is then stored in a database to be retrieved using search queries by users. While these sites are good for providing caller information i.e. to do a reverse cell look up, they do not always provide "unlisted" and "private" number information.

In essence this means that if the person you are trying to trace has a private number, chances of finding it free are slim to none. The closest information you can obtain is his or her whereabouts. You can increase your chances, however, by paying for the look up service. Note however that sometimes even if you pay you may not be able to trace the number.

Find it through search engines

Search engines like Google can help you find any unlisted, mobile or fixed line caller number. This is one of the best free ways to find the annoying caller. It is possible to come out empty handed though. This is when you should consider using services like Reverse Phone Trace to conduct your reverse cell phone lookup. In olden times services like this were only reserved for government agencies but today any one, including you can access them at a fee of course.

Ways to avoid prank callers

You can do this by having your number removed from the white pages. This way you can keep you cell number private. The other advantage of removing your number is that you limit the amount of information that can be accessed by someone looking to use a reverse finder on you. - 16890
