Reverse Cell Phone Directory Lookup is a service that many people in the country need for purposes ranging from discovering the identity of harassing phone callers or when you find a cell phone number on your phone you missed and want to be prepared before you call it back for professional purposes or private ones.

Answer 2

the reverse look-up thing does not always work. Only if you have your phone listed will it work. The vast majority of people do not have their phone listed!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

The sites such as http://www.reversecellphonelistings.com don't use carrier information, they collect their information from over a hundred seperate public sources, which means that it's 100% legal and confidential to use these services.

What's more, that site has a 56 day guarantee on any information you get.

Hope this helps?
