What information can you get from a reverse cell phone lookup?

You can get a bunch of information about the phone owner with a reverse cell phone lookup, but how much you can actually get depends on how much you’re willing to spend. As we mentioned earlier, the amount of information you can obtain with a free reverse cell phone lookup is really limited. This is because cell phone owner information is considered private and is not available in a central database as mentioned earlier. The owner information for each number is held by the relevant wireless carrier and is not released to a public database.

Here’s the information you can potentially get with a reverse cell phone look up

  1. Wireless phone carrier
  2. The first and last names of the mobile phone owner
  3. The current address
  4. Previous addresses if any
  5. Information about family members: e.g. marital status, persons currently living with him/her
  6. Demographic data – average home value and income of people living in the area
  7. Complete background check – may include court records, criminal records, civil records etc. when available

NOTE: Some of the above data will only be available through a paid reverse phone lookup. Some information may not be available through a reverse cell phone lookup report and you may need a background check to obtain some of the above-mentioned information.

As mentioned on this article on Wikipedia, “Right now, cell phone numbers are not available in any public 411 or reverse-number directories. However, several information companies provide reverse cell phone lookups that are obtained from utility resources, and are available online. Because there is no central database of cell phone numbers, reverse phone directories that claim to be free cannot return information on those numbers”. In other words, the many so called ‘FREE’ reverse cell phone lookup directories CANNOT give you customer information when it comes to cellular phones. If you want to find the name and other specific details, your only option is to get a paid report from a reliable source.
