FREE UNLIMITED reverse phone lookups - Can you do it?

Can you really do unlimited reverse phone lookups for 100% free? If you plan on searching for home phone numbers, YES you can. But if you are planning on looking up for cell phone numbers, you might be in for a surprise!

White pages for reverse lookup

White pages is the best place to do a free reverse phone number search.

If it is a 

1. home phone number, AND
2. it is listed (not an unlisted/unpublished number)

you will likely get the following information for free.

1. name
2. address

What if it is a cell phone number or an unlisted home/business telephone number?

White pages or Yellow pages is unlikely to give you the reverse lookup information? Why? Because mobile numbers are NOT listed in public directories. Home and business phone owners also have the option of unlisting their phone numbers (removing them from public access) by contacting their local phone company and the national do not call registry.

If the number you are searching happens to be a cellular number, your best bet is to go with some other 3rd party reverse lookup services like Intelius or US Search.

3rd party reverse lookup directories

Third party services like the ones mentioned above give you a bunch of information, but it may not come completely free. You will pay a fee ranging from 99 cents to $40 + depending on how much information you want, but it is sometimes the only way you can get this information.
