Follow this specific tutorial in order to find out who's on the other end of a telephone number...

How many times have you answered your phone to find it to be a dead air call or you hear them hang up. Or maybe it was a missed call and you have no idea who it is, but not sure if you want to call them back. Well, there are some great ways to trace who owns a telephone number. It is actually kind of fun, kind of like being a detective...

There is nothing more aggravating to have these calls comes in, especially when you have limited minutes on your phone. Have you ever had a crank call, or should I say, something a bit more absurd or disgusting? Those types of calls you want to find out who they are and report them somehow.

Well, lets teach you how to find out just who it is on the other end of the line. First, you want to verify that the number does not belong to a long lost friend or relative that you have not heard from in a while. So cross check the number with maybe your old address book or day planner, or if you keep track of business cards of those you have worked with. You never know, it is good to at least cross these off your list.

Next we are going to check to see if it is a landline phone number. If it is, you will be able to find it by first doing a “reverse-search” of the number using Whitepages.com, Switchboard.com, and Yahoo. This way you will be able to see if it’s a landline and if it is a listed number. It may also be a business, if so, check it through Superpages.com and Yellowpages.com. Oh, by the way, make sure you have the area code matches the site you are on. If it is a Canadian number, you will need to search the information on Whitepages.ca instead of the .com.

Ok, you have gone through these steps and have not found the number yet. But this is kind of fun though, being your own detective. Now for the next phase of your search. We are going to assume that it is a cell phone now, since we have not been able to locate it. We are going to start with our search engines. Are you ready? We will first go to Google.com, then Yahoo.com, then MSN.com. When you are in the search engine, you will put the phone number in the search bar in “quotations” like this: “800-555-1122” or 800 “555-4444” and then hit search.

If you have not found anything yet, don’t give up. There are still more great social networks to go through. These include:

1. MySpace.com
2. Craigslist.com
3. USFreeAds.com
4. GumTree.com
5. Blogger.com
6. WhoCalled.US (call complaint registry, public and totally free)
7. Xanga.com
8. LiveJournal.com
9. BoardTracker.com

(BoardTracker searches over 35,000 messages boards at one time. This is a great investigational tool for you to use.)

What we are trying to do is help you use every resource possible online to trace who owns a telephone number that is calling you. What a great feeling you will have if you find it. You will have done excellent online investigation! But if you don’t find it, don’t be too hard on yourself. There are some numbers that are blocked for one reason or another. But if the number is online, you will usually find it through this process.

IMPORTANT NOTICE - DISCLAIMER Before we discuss the next phone-tracing strategy, I need to make something perfectly clear. The following techniques may be unethical or even illegal if done improperly, and in some areas, if even practiced at all. Furthermore, pretexting (or "pretending to be someone else") in order to obtain personal information is considered a CRIMINAL ACTIVITY in most states. Therefore, by reading the rest of this article you agree that the following is for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, and that you, solely, are responsible for any action taken on this following content - as well as the consequences that may follow as a result. We strongly urge you to consult a licensed attorney specializing in criminal law to review what your rights & allowances are as a citizen in your area regarding the acquisition of another person's information, and the potential method(s) of such an acquisition.

The next step, if the prior steps were not successful, is to call the number. We know, we wouldn’t want to call it either, but this is your last resource that you can do on your own. You can say something like, “I saw your number on my caller id, just wanted to follow up in case it was important”, or pretend you are calling about an ad in the paper. If they say that you have the wrong number, then say that this is the number you saw in the paper.

Ok, maybe calling them is not an option. You definitely want to trace who owns a telephone number of a caller that was threatening or offensive. Maybe it was a call from some weirdo that you never want to talk to or encourage to call again.

This is when we "pull out the big guns" to trace who owns a telephone number that continues to call - or that we need to find out more about...

You can actually purchase access to an exclusive database. This can cost anywhere from $19 to $50, depending on what service you choose. Most of these providers will not charge you if you have a “no-hit” which means that the number is not in their database.

We just want you to know that you do have options and resources to trace who owns a telephone number that is calling you or harassing you. You have the power to fight back and put a stop to it. And on the brighter note, maybe you will find out it is a long lost friend who has been trying to find you the exact same way. Good luck in your search!
