Have you ever had the idea of using a reverse phone book to find out who owns a phone number? Well, if you’re anything like me, you might be in the position where you have to wear one whether you like it or not. Using a reverse directory to find out who owns a phone number, be it landline or mobile, is a great way to learn a lot about who is on the other end of the anonymous phone line. That’s what I did, and he caught my spouse red-handed. If you are in a similar situation or just want to stop a prank caller, I recommend using a reverse phone directory to “solve the mystery”. Here is how to do it:
Step 1.) Get the 10-digit phone number and check for errors. Make sure it has the correct area code. If you got the number from a cell phone’s caller ID or recent calls list, check where you found it.
Step 2.) Locate a reverse phone book you would like to use. This is probably the most important step as you need to use a service like Reverse Phone Detective which checks all the databases (like Verizon’s, AT&T, T-Mobile) or find the carrier specific directory which is very hard to do and it is not guaranteed to work. . This is why I always suggest Reverse Phone Detective as it is what I used to catch my spouse in the act.
Step 3.) Go to the site and enter the phone number, press “Submit” or “Next” and follow the on-screen prompts to the information you want.
If you are tracking a prank caller, call the police and offer your information. If you are trying to entrap your girlfriend or boyfriend, take the information and take the necessary action. Who knows, the person texting them at all hours might just be their friend, but don’t count on that. Start your search right away.
