A lot of people have been wondering exactly where they can find a reverse phone directory.
Others want to know if one exists that is free.
I will explain what a reverse phone directory is and exactly where you can find one.
In case you didn't know, a reverse phone directory is where you can lookup phone numbers and find out who owns them.
This is in reverse from a traditional white pages search where you already know the person's name and want to find their phone number.
By performing a reverse phone search you can find a name from a phone number, plus lots more information.
You can find out the address, and sometimes the cell phone location.
These reverse phone directories have become a big phenom on the internet lately as most everyone now has caller ID.
So a lot of people are wondering where they can find a good reverse phone directory.
If you search the internet you will find that there are many so called free reverse phone directories.
But these free directories can't provide you with any more that the cell phone carrier issuing the phone number.
You can't find out owner information.
So you may ask "Why can't they provide all the information?" This is because cell phone numbers are much more private because you are charged for every call.
This is to prevent from telemarketers from calling your cell phone.
This is why cell phone numbers are harder to track down as compared to traditional land line phone numbers.
Of course it is possible to put together a great reverse phone directory.
The thing is, it requires a lot of effort because the information must be complied into a database from millions of different records.
This is why if you need to perform a reverse phone lookup, you need to pay for it.
