Is there any way to find out if a number is a land line or cell without calling it?

Question

I want to know if a number is a house phone or a cell phone...how can I tell without calling it?

Answer 1

reverse phone search ... it'll usually tell you what the phone company is

Answer 2

There should be a list in your local phone book of telephone number prefixes. If the prefix isn't included it's more than likely a cell phone.

Answer 3

landline and cellphone digits number differ each other, so you can distinguish it if it's not landline. but if the call comes from abroad, then it's another story.

Answer 4

go to www.whitepages.com and do a reverse search.  It should then tell you who the carrier is and if it is a land line or cell phone number.
