Almost everyone has a cell phone, and I bet you've received calls from unknown numbers.
Who hasn't? Chances are that someone has called you, and you have no idea who the number is.
Perhaps it was a long lost friend? Maybe you receive prank calls on a daily basis from the same number, and you want to find out who it is.
Or just maybe you've come across your spouses cell phone, and seen some unusual activity in the recent calls log and you're wondering who it is? Whatever you're reason for tracing a cell phone it's essential you're equipped with the correct information on how to perform one quickly and easily.
The first step is to see if you can trace the number for free by using some Internet search engines, the most popular being Google.
You want to type in the number in quotation marks.
If you're lucky you may find their myspace or Facebook page, or maybe they posted an advertisement on eBay or something.
Or you could find a forum where other people are complaining about nuisaince calls from this number.
If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you're only options are to hire a private investigator who will probably charge a few hundred dollars, or sign up for membership on a reverse cell phone lookup website, the pricing points for these types of memberships are around $30 for unlimited access.
Is finding out the name, address and age of a certain cell phone number worth $30? Of course it is, especially because it's all instant.
Where as a private investigator may actually take a few days.
Are these types of websites legal? Of course they are, they constantly purchase up-to-date databases of millions of people, that's why they charge a fee.
