Free White Pages For Cell Phone Numbers - Is There One For the USA? There's Good News and Bad News!

If you do a Google search for "Trace Cell Phone Numbers", there will be hundreds, if not thousands of internet companies that say they do it for free. But when you actually go to these so called 'free' sites, you find out that they only give some really limited pieces of information for free like the service provider and the region.

White pages for Cell Phones? - Even though the white pages will do a free reverse phone lookup for land numbers, a comparable service doesn't exist for mobile numbers. Whether free or not, there exists no national or regional level wireless phone book in this country.

Two reasons - One reason is that, it is not simple to assemble such a phone book because there there are about 275 million wireless phone subscribers belonging to various wireless carriers in the USA. A second reason is cell phone user privacy. Mobile numbers are often considered as personal information, unlike land numbers.

This is bad news - It's bad news in a way because this is why you can't get a cellular number reverse lookup done for free. However, the good news is that this protects our privacy much more than we will ever find out.

Most services are very expensive - If you have searched the internet at all you would have seen that the cost for a reverse telephone directory lookup goes up to $69 - $99. However you should avoid such websites because you can get the same information for much cheaper. In fact one of these expensive sites takes up to 2-3 days to give you an answer.
