How to Find a Person's Cell Phone Number

Rate: 3 Flag

Did you know YOU CAN find a person's cell phone number online?

There are actually a few ways to successfully find someone's cell phone number online. However some techniques may be time consuming or provide out-dated information.

Unlike landline home phone numbers, cell phone numbers are private information. You will not find cell phone numbers published in any telephone number book such as the white pages.

2 Ways to Lookup Cell Phone Numbers Free

  1. Use Google! - People often post their phone numbers on resumes, classified ads or other sites are published publicly online. Such websites are crawled and indexed by Google's search engine which to be included in search results based on keywords search. Try searching the person's name to find their cell phone number.

  2. Social Sites - Communities like MySpace and Facebook are extremely popular with every generation. It's most likely you know someone with a MySpace or Facebook profile. Search by name to find the person's profile whose cell phone number you want to locate. It's possible the person has posted their cell phone number on their profile or while commenting their friend's page.
     
  3. Cell Phone Number Directory - Even though cell phone numbers are not available in any public cell phone directory, you can still resort to a private cell phone number directory. The downside is that access is not free. However searches are guaranteed and refunds are an email away. This is perhaps the most accurate way to get someone's cell phone number.

Lookup a person's cell phone number at the National Registry of Cellular Phone Numbers

This is useful and rather scary information.
Hey there. Thanks for the info on the free look-up info, and the, uh, skillful plug for your company’s services. Are you a real person or was this post a company ad-thing? That link to GOOG 411 is cool – hadn’t heard of that service before...
Hello Amanda,
Nice bio
What television ad about OS did you see?
considering there are a few women on OS being stalked, this information IS pretty scary
Ahem. Can we have a retrospective EP for G'Amour as well?

WOOF
Is my spam-meter broken? I flagged this post this morning and now it's an Editor's Pick.

Clues:

"Bio: I am a databroker with probably the largest cell phone number directory in the U.S. I heard about open salon through a television commercial and thought would be a good idea to check it out."

Four links to the same commmercial Web site, which gives you no information unless you pay for it.

A post whose tone is not cautionary, but rather blatant advertising: As the comments suggest, yes, this is scary--and this Web site is where people go to do this thing that people find scary.
Ah, we're on the same wavelength, CCC.
Thank you, maestro, but I just followed the kitty's unerring nose for signs of flimflammery, hocus pocus and assorted skullduggery.

WOOF
Yeah, this is not something that should be appearing on the cover. It is Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam. That boilerplate, "I heard about open salon through a television commercial and thought would be a good idea to check it out," is a giveaway.

And as far as I can the "flag" button is a fake. I've flagged all sorts of spam on OS and it's all still there. I don't know what would get them to actually pull something.

Somebody email Kerry and tell him that spam on the cover sucks. I've already complained so many times it's a miracle he actually reads any email from me.
Hi I just found your site after clicking through an Erectile Disfunction email.

What are all these skeezy people doing here?
So did Amanda help? The ED, I mean.

But curiouser and curiouser, this apparently isn't a pure bot. UID 11118 has befriended 11120, which presumably takes a human click. Twin souls in the Twin Cities? Yea for social networking.

WOOF
Ah, but what would Chuck_Stock be selling, I wonder?

(Sorry I missed you earlier, Caruso; both you and David Decker got in before I did.)
Come on guys, I think you're being a bit harsh. I didn't realized I would get this kind of attention before I posted the article. Writing about something I am an expert on is the best I have offer.

All I wanted to do was provide useful information, whether you use a particular service I mention or not, all my articles deliver something that you can walk away with.

Please let me know if there is something that I could have done differently. I left comments open on this post for a reason.

Thanks.
What else could you have posted on a social networking site. Hmm. Well, if it is absolutely imperative that you blog about what you professionally know, then maybe instead of selling your 'how to find a cell phone number' service you could let people know how they can avoid having their cell phone #s found by services like yours and the people who might want to use them for nefarious purposes?
Yes I was harsh with that ED snark.
Please accept my paw of compunction

But please, tell me about the TV ad. I'm mesmerized
I heard about Open Salon through an ad playing in the corner of the Comcaswt On Demand screen. The only thing I really remember was that they commercial was explaining that "everyone has a blog" or something similar.
I had no idea that one could look up a mobile number in the cellphone number directory.
Mobile phone insurance
I agree with Dorinda. This is scary and useful. When blogging use an alias. R
Never knew about this.
Hi Amanda,
How much does option #3 cost? I'd like to see if my # is in the public domain. Thanks!
