The Simple Way To Find Out Who Is The Owner Of Any Phone Number

There are many situations where you might need to know who owns a particular phone number. Whether you are getting prank calls from a phone number you don't recognize or want to find out who keeps calling your spouse's cell phone, there is a way to find out full details about who is the owner of any phone number.

In the past when 90% of phone number were in the phonebook, there were some telephone companies that would let you do what is called a "reverse phone search" on their websites to find the name and address of the owner. However, nowadays over 50% of phones are either cell phones, business numbers or unlisted meaning that they aren't available in any "public domain".

There are companies that purchase phone records for these unlisted numbers and then compile databases that they allow people to search through. This service is used by detective agencies, government offices and law enforcement. However, many people don't realize it is also available to the general public for anyone that wants to "investigate" a certain phone number.

The companies charge a fee for this type of search, but it isn't expensive. You can also find companies that will only charge a flat one-time only fee for unlimited searches in their database.

You can do this all online - all you do is type in the phone number and hit search. You then see the person's full name, address, location details on your computer screen.

A reverse phone search can come in handy whenever you need to know details about that "mystery" phone number. It's interesting to see just how much information you can find out about someone when you have nothing but their phone number. Good luck!
