    Reverse Phone number service?

    Anyone ever use one of these services that looks up the person who belongs to a certain cell phone number? I see several of these services listed on the web. When I look at their websites, I'm not feeling enough love that would allow me to enter credit card info to purchase their services. Has any one had a good experience using one of these services or some other method to look up phone numbers?

    I think if you look around on the web you can find this for free. You may have to scroll down or go to other screens to find one.

    I've had trouble finding a free reverse lookup for cell phone numbers. I can find places that do a free reverse phone number for landlines but not not for cell phones. If you find one, post the URL here.

    I haven't seen a free reverse lookup for nearly twenty years. Even for landlines.
    Used to be you just entered the number in Google & it listed the name and address of the owner. Now it just gives you links to pay sites.

    I'm with Mike - if you find one, let us know.

    Not only that, but many numbers are spoofed. Last Thursday, I got a call from a spoofed number, and later got a couple call backs from people who received spoofed calls from my cell phone. Criminals must not during the rain, as Friday (raining!) phone was silent all day

    Here is a link to one I use. No guarantee it will work on every number.

    I ran 4 cell phone numbers, all at least 6 years old, through it. It got one, failed on one, and came up with wrong names for two. BUT, it did get one; the other free ones I tried never even got one. I wonder if the paid ones are any better; probably not.

    It didn't work for either my landline or my cell number. I wonder if they're just harvesting the phone numbers you put in.
