Whether it is a phone number which isn’t listed in your contacts or a number you want to look up before calling, whatever may be the reason, many of us search people by a phone number and look for additional information these days. While looking up phone numbers through names and addresses is easy, the other way round can be apparently difficult. Here are some sites which will allow you to do just that:

• WhoCallsMe : A database maintained by its users allows you to get information regarding anyone ranging from telemarketers to surveyors and other organizations just by entering the number in the search field and clicking on ‘get details’. Now, if you find that the number is not listed then it means that no one had any complaints about them.
• Cell Phone Tracer : Here, you will be able to find the phone carrier along with the location of the person who owns this phone number. But if you want more related information, then you will have to pay a certain amount of money.
• Cellphone Registry : Here, as the name says, you can search by phone number and it will tell you the date when the respective phone number was registered with them. For everything else, you will have to pay up.
• Google PhoneBook : In North America, using Google PhoneBook to search people by phone number is a good option. They reveal the address and name of the person who is registered with the respective number. Also, using the associated Google Maps will allow you to even look up what neighborhood they live in.
• Copy9 : On installing the program, you will have to type in the phone number, after which it will provide you with the phone’s location anytime you require it. You can try out this app for free but you will have to pay up for further use.
• Free Cell Phone Lookups : Here, if you want to search people by phone number then you just have to enter the number which will then determine the location of the phone. Also, becoming a member of the service will allow you to get a much more detailed report.
• Whitepages : By entering a number here, you will be able to track the home address which is given with the phone number. The process is known as a reverse lookup. It will scan public records on a business or an individual and then provide you with the details.
• Facebook : Not including the world’s biggest social media network in this list would have been a mistake. Facebook also allows you to search for various personal details; like the college a person went to, their birthdays and where they live now, etc., just from the respective phone number.

Hopefully, the list will help you search by phone number easily and quickly. Though searching for details from a phone number can seem hard, the above sites can do it for you, even if you have to pay up to get more detailed reports.
