The first place to look is google. People are in the habit of leaving their phone numbers on social sites such as yahoo answers ( yes yahoo answers), Myspace, facebook,twitter, hi5 linkedn and the like where the search engines can easily find and display them. You will want to enter the number into the search box of google and then scan through the search result to see if something “interesting” pops up. The only downside to this method is that you may not be able to get the person’s address but maybe the first name ( no full name either).

Whitepages.com, yellowpages.com, phonenumbers.com, infospace.com, anywho.com and some of the other free directories may also work but will never work for cell phone or unlisted phone numbers.

The 3rd method is using the pay directories. This is by far the best way to trace any phone number. These directories are specifically created for his purpose. They get the information from major communication companies and lease it out to the general public for a little fee. This fee is however very small. A single search can be done for as little as $14.95 while unlimited searches can be done for $39.95.

Some of the information you get with a pay directory should as reverse phone detective includes :

The full name of the owner of the phone number
His/Her full address
Name of telephone communication company
Home value
Names of possible neighbours
Their criminal records
Other phone numbers they own

The directory I use and recommend is reverse phone detective. They have by far the largest database of phone numbers. The good thing about this directory is that they offer a 60 days money back guarantee. This simply means you can get your money back if you are not totally satisfied with the information generated.
