Have Phone Number Need Name? I received this email from someone who seemed very desperate because they were getting calls one after the other. So If you have a phone number and need the name of the cellphone owner and you want to find this information for free. For starters I would do a search of the cell phone number by placing it in quotes. Like this “505-555-5555” If this doesn’t yield any results then I would recommend searching some of the social networking sites one by one. It is possible to search huge sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and virtually any sites that might have profiles.
Here’s how you do it: Simply type site: and then the website name with no space like this site:http://(Put site domain here) and then a space and the person’s name in quotes and any other information you may have like the state or zip code or whatever. If they have their cell phone listed in their profile then you can get it like that or you can also email them to make contact. This system works well but it takes a very long time to do the research. Here’s an example of what to type in if you were to look for someone named Jim Smith site:http://www.facebook.com “Jim smith” “Georgia”
Now if you are like me and you don’t want to spend hours searching through social networking sites then take a look at our review site at you guessed it. http://www.havephonenumberneedname.org you’ll find honest reviews of the best reverse phone number look up sites online.
Here’s a tip for you if you want to find a landline number online did you know that Google is one of the largest phone books in the world. It’s true you can search Google for phone numbers and addresses anywhere in the United States. Pretty nifty right?
What types of listings can you search for? Well you can search for residential listings, business listings or both.
Simply type the word bphonebook: to search business listings, rphonebook: to search residential listings or just phonebook: to search all phone listings in front of any of the following listings in the Google search box.
first name , or first initial, last name, city the state is optional
first name, or first initial, last name, state
first name, or first initial, last name, area code
first name, or first initial, last name, zip code
phone number, including area code
last name, city, state
Let’s say you wanted to do a business search for as an example Johnson’s plumbing in Wisconsin. You would simply type
bphonebook: johnson plumbing wisconsin
This type of search should give you all of the plumbers in Wisconsin with the last name Johnson.
Let’s say you wanted to find a residential search for an old class mate named Sam Peppardino and you are pretty sure he moved to Georgia you would type in rphonebook: Sam Peppardino Georgia
Google will list their name address and phone number and they even give you a map to the right of each listing for directions.
It gets to be a lot of fun when you discover what you are looking for. I found people I haven’t heard from in years. It may not always work but it is really a nice little service that is unknown by many. Google only lists public land line numbers and no cell phone numbers. It seems that some numbers are old or outdated. You will find that some public phone numbers aren’t even listed. All in all it’s a lot faster and easier to read.
Oh and if you don’t want your information listed just go to this link www.google.com/help/pbremoval.html just proceed by following the detailed instructions Google provides to remove your information.
So the next time you are asked the question have phone number need name? Now you know what to tell them whether they want the convenience of a search directory or the cost free but time consuming search engine method.
