    That's also correct of other cell phone users who simply want to know who's calling when they view an unfamiliar number on their particular phone.



    To carry out a reverse lookup, just make use of one of the web based companies readily available.

    You'll see entries of Websites that provide this service. Go to a web-site, and key in the phone number to get the phone user's name and address, you'll be asked to pay a one-time fee to cover limitless reverse phone lookups.
