Any one know of a site to do a reverse look up without having to spend any money? Or very little... The couple sites I checked wanted $20.
Thanks.

Intelius.Com has been the most accurate, in my experience.

If you're on Verizon, just call "Information" and say "reverse lookup."  It's free.

I have never successfully used a reverse lookup service for cell phone #s, even one of the paid ones had no more info than whitepages.com. I have come to accept that if you want to know who called you from a cell #, you should just call back and ask.

That's odd, considering the number of households that are "cell phone only" and use said cell as their contact number for utilities and the like.



That said, even the best info sites offer the possibility of false info.

Google the number, then plan on spending two days looking at every item it brings up. May work, may not. Are we allowed to ask for a little more detail here?

I've used http://www.ReversePhoneDetective.com and had good luck.  It looks like a full lookup is $15, it seems that there was a cheaper $5 option when I used it years ago.

Type in your cell phone number on the next page, and they will text you the results($0.99/per look up)

Wow I am impressed.  That actually worked.  It even showed my name mispelled as my cell carrier still has it.   You would think they would have fixed that since I have been a customer for over 8 years.

I would not use a carrier that has released your info.



The carrier I work for has not and will not release info unless it is requested by a LEO.

The carrier doesn't have to release anything if you associate your cell number with any number of utilities/services that are affiliated with your name and/or address.

Download an appp called caller caller if you have an iPhone. It's free.  And yes not a mistype. Caller caller is the name. Might work for you.

didnt there used to be some kind of government database or something with all the phone numbers in it you could look through and it would give you the info?  I seem to remember it dissapearing or becoming a pay site or something though.
