A very common topic of discussion in today's online forums and chat rooms is "How to find somebody's name from a cell phone number?" Different people give different answers.
One of the commonest, yet incorrect answers is that you can't trace other people's cell phone numbers.
People say this because the white pages don't list cell numbers.
But what people don't realize is that white pages is not the only telephone directory in the USA.
Just because the whitepages doesn't have some number, doesn't mean you can't find the number from other sources! So why doesn't the white/yellow pages don't list wireless numbers? Simply because above phone books are meant for land numbers.
Cell phones and their numbers are considered personal information by their subscribers as well as wireless service providers and the law enforcement.
This is exactly why there are privacy laws such as the 'Wireless 411 Privacy Act' has been implemented; to protect mobile phone subscriber privacy rights! Did you ever wonder why you don't get telemarketers calling on your cell? It's those privacy laws that's stopping them from calling you1 Does this mean you have to hire a private detective? You can, but not necessary simply because they cost $100s and they're not the fastest option either.
So what's the BEST option available today? Online reverse mobile phone directories that are specifically meant for wireless numbers.
In addition, they also have other unlisted numbers (e.
g.
certain land numbers that their owners get unlisted for privacy reasons).
The best online databases out there provide you with a lot more than just the name and address of the phone owner, the results are basically instant, and you can reverse look up as many mobile numbers as you like.
