Some things in life are free while some things are not. When it comes to Reverse Cell Phone Lookups, are they free or not? This is an extremely interesting question to analyze. I had no idea myself when I wanted to do a reverse cell phone lookup a while ago. So I did some research and hopefully my results will be helpful to you
Currently there is no cellular phone directory!
Yes unlike for land phones, there is no phone directory for cell phones. If cellular numbers are published on a free public telephone directory, it's only a matter of time before telemarketers and identity thieves get their hands on them. Not only will we be disturbed by these unwanted calls, but we will also have to pay for each minute. This is why all wireless numbers have been unlisted from public telephone directories.
A mobile phone directory was going to be launched in 2006
But that never materialized because wireless companies backed out of it one by one. They said that they don't know how to save their customers from getting harassing and annoying phone calls. As a result, there exists no telephone directory for cell numbers even today, that is as of May, 2009! So the answer to the original question, can you reverse search cell numbers for free? Not 100%. You can get the cellular carrier and the city and state (the phone is registered at) for free. But if you want to know the name of the phone owner, you have no option but to use a paid service.
Some services give you inaccurate results!
Not all mobile number tracing services are equally good. Some services don't update their databases very often. People change their mobile numbers quite a lot compared to land numbers, so if you use an outdated service, there is a pretty good chance that you will get the previous phone owner instead of the present owner.
