We have all seen the white pages books where you can reveal a specific telephone number by a name but have you ever thought how effective it would be to search a number to reveal name and address? I bet you have come across an unknown or missed call where you are curious to know more about the identity of the caller.

With more cell phones around and a general increase in phone user activity large databases of cell phones and numbers are gathered. When services are developed called reverse lookup and reverse cell phone directory search it brings a whole new way of tracing a person by a number.

A cell phone directory which traces a person by number is often called a reverse phone search service. People can perform a simple search by telephone number to reveal name and address of that number. As you can imagine this has a whole range of uses from identifying a prankster to finding out who a missed caller is.
