Need A Reverse Phone Number Lookup For Free?

By Jayne Rutledge


There are many reasons why someone might want to look up someone else's telephone number. When you know the name of the person but do not have their seven digits, this process is fairly simple. However, it is harder when you have the information switched; someone has been calling you, and you have no idea who it is. In this case, you will probably want to use a reverse phone number lookup for free.

You may not be able to get all of the details about the caller. Many of these services will tell you the region from which they were calling, and whether it is a business or a residence. However, you may have to pay extra for further information, such as the name of the person or business that is calling.

Sometimes, the site will include a message board where other users post info such as the name associated with a number. If that is not the case, and you do not want to sign up and pay for further information, you can simply google the number. Often, this will bring up entries on Yelp or Yahoo or other sites that might give you the info you need.

There are a few different scenarios where this type of information can be useful. Here are a few of them:

1. Debt collectors. These people can be relentless about calling you. They try to trick you, because as soon as you answer the phone and admit that you owe the debt, it resets the clock on the statute of limitations, meaning that the debt stays on your record for a longer period. Usually the caller is not even the company with which you originally incurred the debt, but a scavenger company that has purchased it.

2. You are the victim of the locksmith scam. This sounds made up, but it happens more often than you would think: a shady "locksmith" advertises their services, especially for emergencies. When you find yourself locked out of you home or car, you call them. They show up, either pick or break your locks, and claim that you owe them insane amounts of money, like $500 or $600 for a job that should cost $100 at the most. They take the money you have, and your information, and they call you over and over demanding the money. You will want to know the number so that you can avoid their calls. You also may be able to gain information that could help you report them to the Better Business Bureau.

3. Ex boyfriend or girlfriend. You have removed this person from your phone. When they call, you think you recognize the contact, but you are not sure. Before answering, you want to know who the caller is, so that you can either avoid your ex or prepare yourself for the conversation that may take place. The last thing you want to is to be caught off guard and answer the call, winding up flustered because you did not realize it would be your ex.

A reverse phone number lookup for free would be useful in all of these scenarios. When you know the identity of the caller, you have the power to choose whether to ignore them, answer, or block them. You do not have to put up with harassment of any kind, on the phone or in person.
