Reverse phone number look-up service

 

Has anyone found a reliable reverse phone look up service that works and is not a scam?  Many years ago anywho dot com had a good reverse look-up function, but several years ago, they must have sold the website name to one of those scammy companies and it's useless IMO.  I don't want to have to give my personal information to get a result.

 

I would appreciate your recommendations.

 

TIA!

i just put the phone number into google or bing and that usually works for me.

 

for cell phones, it generally only gives you the state and/or sometimes the carrier of the cell phone service.

@NYCLatinaMe - Try whitepages.com. It's free and you don't have to put in any of your information.   Smiley Happy

Thanks @beach-mom I did just do a search on whitepages dot com before I posted and got the impression that they had a result but I had to sign in to see the results.  I reopened the page per your suggestion and did see a small link to "View Owner's Name" that I did click on, per your advice, and you are right!  I ddn't have to give my info to get a result.  It said they had no name associated with that number!  The first page suggested they did, but it was all blacked out.  So a little scammy IMO.  But it worked.

 

Thanks so much!

 

If anyone has other suggestions I would appreciate it.  I may be overlooking something like I did with whitepages.

For whitepages, I joined their annual membership last year. $30 for one year. I let it expire. I was able to look up to 10 people a month, and you could get most people's home AND cell phone numbers. It was really helpful when we were looking up some family information. If you don't mind paying a little extra, you can even get a background report on some people. It was great for us.

I just type the number in the search bar.
