Default Identifying the owner of a phone number

Someone keeps bugging me on my phone and sending me stupid messages but I have no idea who the person is. Is there any way where I can find out the owner of the number? I just want to know who he/she is.

Hi Alia, That is not a problem, finding the owner of a phone number is easier than you might think with Reverse Phone Detective. As long as you have the area code and the seven digit number, you should be able to locate any numberŽs owner, if you know where to look.

Your first stop should be a free reverse phone number directory. There Plenty of them are available on the Internet. One of the webs leading services is Reverse Phone Detective. You enter the entire number including the area code and hit "Search." If the number is a published land line, you should get the information you want, including the name of the owner and the entire address of the owner.

If youŽre lucky enough to get results, then your search can stop there. In most cases, youŽll need to try a slightly different approach.

Reverse phone number service is basically tracing who the owner and the gathering of other relevant information with the use of a phone number, maybe you just want to know who owns the unfamiliar number on your phone bill or check on your mate if he or she is cheating on you. This service has two kinds. One is the free service and the other is the paid service. Free service is limited in terms of the information that can be provided. The usual names and addresses can be retrieved from public domain databases.

The only reason you should run into problems with the free service is that if the number belongs to a cell phone. Because there is no central database of cell phone numbers, free reverse phone directories cannot return information on those numbers. You also wonŽt be able to get information on landline numbers that are unlisted or non-published. This can easily be fixed by a small service charge.

Well, if your still interested, just in case the one bugging you is using a landline, then you can check the service here Reverse Cell Phone Lookup and Unlisted Number Search: ReversePhoneDetective.com
