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.

Next time you want to see who is on the other end of a call without them knowing write down the complete number with area code. The first thing you can try is any major search engine. Enter the number in quotes, “xxx-xxx-xxxx” or try Phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx and see what you get back, While this works great for most land lines, cell phone are usually not in the system unless the person has posted their number online somewhere.

You may have to pay a one time fee and use a paid service. There are some big advantages of using a paid service. You will be able to trace any cell, unlisted, pay phone, pager, mobile, business or residential. Plus depending on what service you decide to use you will get access to a lot more, like criminal and court records, marriage and divorce, address history and even people search for finding lost friends or classmates.

If you are get ting calls late at night and do not want to turn your phone off you can run the number through a search and get their info, print it out and call them back. Most people are so shocked that you now know who they are and where they live they never call back again. In most cases it ends up being someone you know like an ex boyfriend or girlfriend.

So is it really worth paying for a reverse phone service? You will be amazed at the sort of info you can find out with just a phone number. The information you get back is the same type you had to hire a private investigator to get access to. Now you can use the same services the professionals use!
