How To Trace Cell Phone Numbers

racing cell phone numbers can be difficult. Unlike landlines, cell phone numbers are usually not listed in phone books and can't be accessed by dialing Information. Many companies charge to trace cell phone numbers, and until recently, you had to pay the fee or not get much information. However, it is now possible to trace cell phone numbers free of charge.

1. Try simply searching on the Internet. Type the cell phone number into your favorite search engine and see what comes up. If this works, it is the easiest way to trace a cell phone number, free. The reason this even has a chance of working is because the Internet is a big place and someone's cell phone number could be listed for all sorts of reasons. If their cell phone number is on a networking site, a business site, or any other site, for any reason, it should come up on a search, giving you information about whose number it is. Often, even people with unlisted cell phone numbers forget about other reasons that their number may be listed on the Internet.
   If the search yields just a long unmanageable list after entering the entire number with the area code, try putting everything but the area code in quotations, like this: 555 "555 5555". If that still doesn't deliver, you can try getting rid of the area code, replacing it with the state where that code exists (like Mississippi, Texas, AZ, MT - try the full name and the abbreviation), or even the city (search Houston or NYC, for example), if you know that information. If the area code is from Canada, try acell phone number lookup with that information (or search by province, like Alberta).
   
   To skip the legwork and trace the number right away, I recommend two other options:
   
   • Reverse Phone Detective
   • National Registry of Cellular Numbers
2. Check an online cell phone directory. Many free cell phone directories are available online, such as NonPublished.com. Information from these directories about a cell phone number is generally limited, but it can be a good starting point for tracking cell phone numbers, usually at least giving you the cellphone number's carrier and the city registered on the billing address. Obviously, the city might be outdated, since cell phones are mobile.
