That is the best place to use the Reverse Phone Detective to lookup cell or unlisted phone numbers and get someone's name and address. You can find out the owner of any cell phone or unlisted number.

Woo Hoo - My Squidoo Lens is Climbing!
My lens on how to be a phone detective has climbed to #195 in "how to". Not bad for Squid Rookie.

How to be a Phone Detective
Or, how to "break" a phone number.
First - what is "breaking?"
Breaking a phone number is finding out who owns the number or where the number comes from. I looked up Revers Cell Phone lookup on 'Wikihow'. What they had looks like it was written by someone that has never done breaking before. It mentions basically the same thing 3 times.
OK, yes the fastest and easiest thing to do is use reverse phone detective. However, you may be a cheapskate, or you may have time, or you may actually enjoy research and investigation. If any of those apply to you I will tell you what investigators do (besides issuing a subpoena), without revealing any trade secrets.
Since you are reading this - you have access to the internet. The first place I check is phonevalidator.com . It is free, and it will tell you what type of phone it is, like a cellular phone, a land line, and it usually tells you who the carrier. Their report looks like this:
Phone Number: 832-878-5555
Date of this Report: March 01, 2008
Phone Line Type: Cell Phone
Phone Company: T-MOBILE
Phone Location: HOUSTON, TX
Directory Assistance Results: Click here...
Google Results: Click here...
Next, check whitepages.com or 411.com and Google to check on the number.
OK, let's use the example above (yes the 5555 is just a fake example). You are still too cheap to use the Reverse Phone Detective. You see that the phone goes to Houston, Texas. I would check Texas Public Records. Sometimes you can find phone numbers in property record transactions, and other public records. OK, now you may not be able to search by phone number, but you really want to know about the number. Maybe you want to "play detective" instead of just searching the number. Here is a fun and useful way to do this:
First, locate a "safe phone" you can use. A "safe phone' is one that doesn't come back to you. If you just borrow a buddy's phone it may not be such a nice trick on him or her. Perhaps you have access to a prepaid phone or a phone bank at a business. You don't even have to be local as who you are pretending to be can be calling from elsewhere. Call the number. If someone answers the phone, tell them you are with Domino's or some other local pizza delivery place. Tell them up front you have a simple 3 question survey and they will get a free pizza delivered for completing the survey. Can you see were I am going? If you are guessed that you are going to get the address by doing this, you are right. Here is an example of the conversation:
We can pretend to be domino's. :)
Hi I am (Make up any name here) with Domino's (or other Pizza Place). If you can take the time to answer a three question survey, we will send a complimentary pizza for your trouble. (They say OK 99% of the time. After all, who doesn't like pizza?) OK, this isn't one of the questions, but can I get your name?
1) Ok, (First Name) Have you ever used Domino's (or other local delivery pizza)?
2) How often do you use our service?
3) Would you use Domino's (or your other pizza place) again?
Interact with answers as if you are really taking the survey. Then say, "We are going to send one of our delivery people by with the coupon for a free pizza. What address do we send that to?"
See how easy that is? It can actually be fun and there is nothing illegal about it. :D

Comparing reverse Phone Lookup Services
OK, my last blog was bout finding those pesky phone numbers and kind of a "how to" do it. Well, let's say you decided you need a reverse phone lookup because it may be a cell phone number, or unlisted, or in any case the "whitepages" did not have it.
I decided to give a review of some reverse cell phone lookup services. You know, the services that tell you who owns a cell phone number. Anyways, here is my review after hours of research, headaches and miss-fires. I hope it provides you with some useful information.
The absolute best reverse phone lookup service is the Reverse Phone Detective. Reverse Phone Detective is 98% effective on cell phone numbers and 97% effective when looking up unlisted numbers.
The Cost is $14.95 a report, or $39.95 for a one year unlimited number search.
Reverse Records offers reports for more than just a phone number.
With Reverse Records you can use either a Social Security number, address, email address, or phone number to find the records you're looking for.
The only down side to this service is the results. They seem to have limited the thoroughness of the records they search because of all of the search options. The cost is $29.95 per report or $39.95 for "Premium Membership." That means - Full Phone Report + Unlimited
Reverse Phone Lookups for 1 Year.
We only recommend this service if you need to find someone for other reverse lookups. It is still a quality service.
Cell Phone Magic does what is advertises:
Reverse a Cell Phone number
to user name and billing address You Supply us with a Cell Phone Number
We Return to you -- The current Users name and Current billing address
All U.S.A. & CANADIAN Phone Numbers Reversed
The main heartburn we have with its service is the price $65.00. This seems too much to pay for such a service! They DO perform well, but why pay that much?
If you think you need to pay the most for the best - go here!

How do you find out whose number it is?
Many of us have had to find someone using the internet. The fortunate thing is, there are many ways to find people. Most of them are not all that different from each other.
When you start your search, think about obvious things to rule out:
Is (s)he in the military? You need a Social Security number for this one
Is (s)he deceased? All you need is a full name for this one
Is (s)he in prison? Now for this one if you have no idea where (s)he is, search the federal site and look for each state’s site.
Now these three questions my seem far – fetched for some people you are looking for, but you can eliminate a lot of needless searching if the answer is yes to the above.
Before you pay Reverse Phone Detective for information on the internet, I suggest that you take some time to find information from free sources. NOTE: Many free sites send you to a pay site after they “find” the person you are looking for. Here are several free places you can check on your own for information:
If you will be doing several searches – consider downloading the program from argali.com, It searches all of the above, and them some. If you only want to use it once, it may not be worth the trouble. They have a free (ad driven) and a pay version.
Now, before you go and pay for information, if what information you found was correct, first go to Black Book. Black Book is NOT a search site. It does tell you where you can search the public records for more information.
Reverse Phone Check (How do I find who owns a phone number?):
What if I have a number and I want to know who it belongs to? Before you check anything else, I suggest you check at Phone Validator. This sit tells you if the phone is a land line or a cell/mobile phone.
If it is a cell phone, or unlisted number, you will need to pay to find the number.
Try these guys for this: Reverse Phone Detective
There are many PAY Sites – some you may have to request to join, others just do it for the money. Some of these search all sorts of data (including credit reports), yet a thorough search of public records may prove to give you more. However, you may not have the time, so these pay sites may be worth it to you:
Vitalrec.com (These guys give a small bit of information for free)
Now if you still have trouble finding who you want, let me know, I may have some more ideas to your specific case.
