Have you ever received a cell phone call that you just missed but you weren't sure who was on the other end of the line? Maybe you're looking at someone else's telephone - your girlfriend's, your friends, or your kid's? You can see the number but for some reason, you can't dial them back.
But just you have to know who that individual is.
In the not too distant past, if the call originated from a cell phone, there wasn't much you could do.
It was almost impossible to look up names from phone numbers.
The cell phone providers didn't publish their databases and didn't make it easy to find out what you were looking for.
It was basically impossible to trace cell phone numbers because all cell phones were and still are unlisted numbers.
In order to level the playing field, some intellectual people jumped in together and made their own private reverse cell phone directories without the phone companies' help.
Then they developed internet sites with the databases so that anyone can look up people from cell numbers.
Because of these new websites it's extremely simple to locate a cell phone owner.
You simply go to one of the many sites out there and plug in the number of the caller.
The site will then search it's database and find the corresponding information.
Easy.
The only thing you have to be concerned with is finding out whether or not the site you're using has the information you're actually looking for.
If it's a good site, they will let you plug in a number and see if they have the name and address of it's owner before you pay them anything.
When you find one of these sites, you can feel confident that you're spending your money wisely.
Avoid any site that won't let you try before you buy.
