Whether for business or personal reasons, reverse phone lookup services can be easy and affordable way to find out who the phone number belongs to. Just a couple of years ago, it was possible to do free reverse phone lookup with Google and yahoo to find phone numbers by name. However it was discontinued for two reasons. The main reason is because telephone carriers such as AT&T and Verizon no longer publishes phone numbers of its subscribers to safeguard consumer privacy.
If personal information like phone number was made available for free, most customers who wish to remain anonymous would not be happy. It would be extremely easy to phone stalk if people could anonymously get hold of such private contact information. Hence, instead of making the database available for free, they have made the database accessible through certain paid services like Intelius and USSearch, which verify the identity of people. That’s why credit card payments are made mandatory by such services on the Internet.
Other than this, as with any other websites, phone lookup services are out there to make money by trading personal information. The biggest and the most affordable website in this space is Intelius. Enter the phone number you want to lookup and get it traced to its owner for a small fee. Some other companies charge $10-$30 for this service, but due to high volume of services, Intelius charges just a fraction of that. Do the search below and see for yourself.
