All you need to use a directory service is a phone number with area code. You will then be able to look up any number in the country, including cell, lanlines, pay, business and residential and even unlisted numbers. You will receive the persons name, address, billing address, carrier, and depending on the service you use you may be able to use the advanced search and find out the juicy details. Like criminal and court records, school and job history, marriage and divorce records, financial history, school and even what kind of car the have a loan on.

Want to find out who your husband or boyfriend has been calling on their cell phone? Reverse search their latest calls. See how honest they are. Of course this works for guys too. At one time we were getting prank calls and hang ups in the middle of the night. The person would call and not say anything. I got their number from my caller ID and called them back. Got their voice mail, no surprise there. Or they would answer and not say anything.

This went on for a few days until I had enough. I joined a search service and ran their number. I researched out their info and printed it out. Next time they called I called them back and said something like, is this John Adams at 3344 west 1^st street? The one that works for the water department? Hey, how is your new Toyota running? I would have loved to see the look on his face. Turns out it was my girlfriends ex boyfriend.

The calls stopped immediately. I did mention if they did not I would report him to the police for phone harassment. This will also work for exposing telemarketers. Ever get repeated automated telemarketing calls? You can get the companies main office phone number and give them a quick call. They always seem surprised when they get a call, like how did you get this number.

Here is a little tip, some services will let you pay a smaller fee to do a one time search, I discovered that the difference you pay to become a yearly or lifetime member is worth the price difference. Once you find out the sort of info you can dig up on someone you will find yourself running searches on friends, family, co-workers and maybe even your employer.

We reviewed the top reverse phone search services on our main page.

There is nothing more annoying then getting constant prank calls or hang ups. You get their number and call them back only to get their default voice mail, no answer or they pick up and don’t say anything. Ever have this happen to you? Well there is a way to turn the tables on the unknown caller.

Using a reverse call search service will tell you the identity of any phone number. It will work for any landline, cell, pay phone, business phone and even some pre-paid cells. You can try Google first. Just enter phone: 555-555-5555 and hit search, of course you will want to replace this with the unknown callers number. If you do not get any info back you will have no other choice than to use a paid phone search service.

There are a lot of so called free services out there but they are pretty worthless. All the free ones use the same data base, so if one does not work the other ones will not either. Or they take you through the whole process then want you to pay for the good info. If you use one of the top paid directories to start with you will be amazed at the info you can get back on any number.

Insert the prank callers number and you can find out their name, address, service provider, and in some cases, where they work, relatives, marriage records, court and criminal records, financial records and more. Just imagine the shock on their face when you call them back and start reading off all the info you have on them. I can almost guarantee you will never get a call from them again. This will scare most people off.

If not you have all the info you need to file a report on them or take legal action, no need to change your phone number. Once you are a member of a good paid look up service you will find yourself looking up, friends, coworkers, boyfriends, girlfriends. See what they have been hiding.

You used to have to hire a private investigator to get this information but now anyone can get access to the same info. All services are not created equal however, so do your research before joining.

Is that site you are going to join a scam or is it really worth it? Get the insiders report and review on the best reverse phone search providers here – Find out what the professionals use.

Have you ever wanted to trace a cell phone and find out the location of the caller. There are services available that will let you preform discreet searches. The cell phone owner will never know they have been tracked down.

A decent reverse cell phone trace will reveal the callers full name and address, date of birth, address history, and some services will provide any criminal or other very personal records on that person. The first time I used a reverse call search I was pretty shocked at what info was available on me.

One of the benefits of becoming a member of a paid service is that you can request your info to be removed from their system! There are free services but I found them a complete waste of time. Almost all of them share a public info data base that is worthless. You might get back the state or city the call is from.

Joining a paid service is worth the one time fee but I found the best option is to go for the yearly membership. I learned this the hard way by paying a one time search fee thinking I would never need the service again and then having to pay again a month later when I needed to trace down a prank cell phone caller.

Cell phones are a little harder to trace then regular land line phones. The over the counter cell phones that you pre pay and do not have to give out any info on are almost impossible to trace. You can do a preliminary search for free to see if anything is returned. If you get back the city and state you can be sure there is a lot more info available once you join. I even found out my prank callers neighbors.

The information you can now get was once only available to private investigators and law enforcement. But now with a click of your mouse you can have the same access to private information that they do ready to print out for your viewing pleasure.

With more cell phones using a tracking GPS chip you can now almost pinpoint a cell phone location. This is a great service if you want to track your kids, husband or employees. Want to find out where that bimbo your husband has been seeing behind your back? Get her phone number off of his cell phone and do a reverse call search on it. You will know more about her that he does. This could make some really interesting conversation or aid in your divorce.

The service also comes in handy for those pesky telemarketers that think they are untraceable. These days unlisted doe’s not mean untraceable. An unlisted number might not be available to the public but that does not mean you can not trace it with a reverse call look up service. I discover that prank callers think because they are on a cell phone they are safe are pretty shocked when you call them back and rattle off their home and work address along with some other juicy info about them. The prank or unknown calls almost always stop immediately after that.
