Finding cell phone numbers and performing a reverse phone lookup (Canada and US) is not that hard nowadays as it was several years ago. Now you can use the internet as your main tool and because of that, phone number trace has never been easier. But is there an online reverse phonebook?

We're all used to phonebooks in their physical traditional form but it seems like there is no online equivalent to them. And unfortunately that is the truth. But there are still many things you can do that will help you find the owner of almost any phone number. And it's not only about cell phone number look up, because it doesn't matter if it's a cell phone, landline, payphone or any other type.

But why bother? What can be the reason for trying to find the owner of a particular phone number? Well it's very simple really. If you don't know who's calling you, whether it is some sort of prank caller, a business contact which you maybe don't remember but don't want to look stupid and make a bad impression, or any other number that you would like to know something more about. Maybe you are just researching a phone bill, or verifying an address. Or maybe you want to check who your spouse is talking to in the evenings. As you can see there are really many possibilities.

So where to begin? The first place to go is (as always) Google. Just input the phone number into the search box and hit the button. If you are lucky there will be some results. This technique is effective with more public, well known phone numbers. The reason for this is the fact that the owner of such number publishes it on many websites along with his other contact information (such as his name or address). Because of that, if you want to find a private cell phone number which belongs to someone who is not publishing it all over the internet then it won't be so easy, but it's worth a try anyway.

(Hint: If you're using Google for finding cell phone numbers then try to input the number in several possible ways. You can try these: 555 555 555, (555) 555 555, 555555555, 555-555-555, (555) 555-555.)

So where to go if Google was not that helpful? You should know that there is a world outside of Google. There are many online tools (search engines) which are specialized in doing phone number trace. They always have an up-to-date database and accurate results. That's almost like magic, because most of the private cell phone numbers are not even listed anywhere, so I don't know how these tools are able of getting the accurate results, but they do it anyway. And what about reverse phone lookup Canada? It's not a problem. If you live in Canada you can still use these tools and you will get quality results as well.

Here's an interesting fact. What do you think, how does a regular private investigator work if you order him to find someone by a phone number? Well you guessed it. He just takes the number, uses one of these online tools and then he charges you some ridiculous amount of money. As simple as this. And he can do this because these tools are not really that well known. As I was saying - there's a world outside of Google.

It would be too beautiful so I must say that there is a small fee attached if you want to get the full report about the phone number you are searching. The good news is that the results are 100% guaranteed. This means that if you are not satisfied then you will get all of your money back. This is no joke and you don't have to be afraid of being ripped off. These tools are serious businesses and if they wouldn't give quality results then they would be for sure off the market by now.

So is there really no way of doing a reverse phone lookup for free? No reverse phonebook? The internet gives you a ton of possibilities and you can find almost anything in it. So the internet itself is (among many other things) a one big reverse phonebook. And about the "free thing". Some people think that everything should be free on the internet. But the truth is that if you have a business which can provide great value to people, then there's really no reason for you to do it free of charge. You should remember that when it comes to these reverse phone lookup tools the prices start at $10. Just compare it to the prices of any private investigator, who as I said before... in most cases would just use one of these tools.
