Reverse Telephone Directories are for people that want to find out who owns a number. This is really useful for when your spouse gets those calls at 2am and you need to find out if they're cheating on you.
They're also great for if you get prank calls where nobody ever says anything but you want to nail the pesky kid down the street anyway because you just know it's him
Show Me Where To Do The Searches Already!
ReversePhoneDetective.com is the grandaddy of the reverse phone lookup services. They offer a one off search for $14.95 or an unlimited lookup service (recommended) for just one fee of $39.95 - that's the option that most people go for.
ReverseGenie.com has over a BILLION numbers on their database but their one of search costs a bit more. They do have other services on their sites besides reverse phone searches like civil records searches.
PhoneNumberScan.com is good for pager numbers and business numbers that you want to trace.
There really are a tonne of differnt reasons that people use reverst telephone directory services, so if you want to try some, here are there of the best....
They all offer anonymous searches, so the person whose number you look up will never know.
The way they work is you put a phone number (cell phone, landline or voip it doesn't matter) and before they charge you any money they'll first give you basic information to make sure you've got the right number. Then if you need more money you can pay for a full report.
Now I know you're probably thinking, I thought there were free services that did this. Well there are, but quite frankly they're pretty useless. They're as bad as an out of date phonebook and won't help you with anything you couldn't find on whitepages.com.
