Reverse Phone Book Explained

A Reverse Phone Book, also known as a Reverse Phone Directory is where you type in a phone number to see who owns that number. There are many websites that offer this search capability. Some printed telephone books even have a section where all the numbers are arranged in numerical order, but often times it's just easier to plug the number in to a search field online and find it that way. Some sites that provide this service are:
www.whitepages.com/reverse_phone
www.anywho.com/rl.html
www.phonenumber.com/reversephone

Note that this does not always work for cellphone numbers. Whitepages searches for cellphone numbers will often tell you where the number is originated from and who the carrier or provider is, but that's likely all the information you'll get. This is contrary to some hoax e-mails that had been circulated warning people that cellphone providers would soon be publishing a white pages directory of cellphone numbers.

Since it often will cost you money to keep your name and phone number from being published in the white pages, it helps to register on the national Do Not Call registry which can be found online at donotcall.gov

A people locator search can be performed at a number of different websites. Often you can just type the person's name into a browser search box. If that doesn't work, you can also try looking them up on Facebook. There are plenty of ways to find people. Locator searches can also be run on ancestry or genealogy sites.
