There are many places you can go to find information related to phone numbers. There is, of course, the old fashioned phone book; but you would have to flip through page after page and even then the number could be unlisted. You could try directory assistance but their operators are often less than helpful. Where else to turn but a phone number lookup service.

Many sites on the Internet offer phone number searches. Some are free and readily available. Then, there are a variety of phone search services that will charge a small fee. The question is: Which one should you choose? Take a look at what the free sites offer. You can type in a number and receive results that will contain a name and probably an address. There will probably be several names to choose from so hopefully you have an idea who it is you're looking for. If all you need is a name and address and you should be all set. Unfortunately, this type of phone number lookup service won't offer much more than that.

The so called free search engines are really just front ends for other pay sites. They offer you small pieces of information, while indicating that you can get much more. However anything more is going to cost you. Other sites are more upfront. They will indicate that the information will cost a small fee and then they may let you try a free search so you can see an example. Really, what it boils down to is that there is no such thing as a free phone number search service. At least, not if you're looking for anything more than general information related to a phone number.
