When You Want to Know Who Called Your Home Phone

If you have caller ID on your home phone, then you know this is a great feature. With caller ID, you can see that someone in your family called or one of your friends called. But, what if you see a number from a person you do not know. The phone number area code looks to be out of your area. In fact, you know the area code is not from your area. So, what do you do? How can you find out who where this phone number is from and who is the person calling you?

Well, since the advent of the Internet, it is now easy to find out where a particular phone number is from and who that person calling is. There are several ways to do, what is called a reverse phone lookup. Did you know this can be done? That is why having Internet access is amazing. There are actually companies on the Internet who, when you type in an unknown phone number, allow you to see where the number is from and who called you.

Doing a reverse phone number lookup can be done by typing into any search engine (Yahoo, Google, Fire Fox) “Reverse Phone Lookup” or “Reverse Phone Directory”. Once you find an online reverse phone number company, click on that website and type in the phone number showing on your caller ID.

Right now, there are at least five online reverse phone directories where any phone number can be typed in to begin doing a search on the number, and person calling. Just right now, I did a reverse phone lookup on a company that I contract work with and their city showed up along with the name of the company. This is good enough for me. Sometimes, if you are doing a reverse phone number lookup, you might have to pay a fee.

With everyone having cell phones these days, anyone can now do a reverse cell phone number online. That is great because sometimes, not always, unknown cell phone numbers which I did not add to my cell phone, are showing up on my LCD screen.

These days, almost any information you need, phone numbers included, can be found online. All you have to do is type in that unknown number into a reverse phone directory and right before your eyes, is the person who called you.
