Trace Cell Phones
There are two ways that you can trace a cell phone call:
you can either use publicly available information to trace the issuing
location of a phone number. Or, you can use a reverse phone lookup to
access special databases that will give you the IDENTITY of the owner of
the phone number.
Below you'll learn how to trace a cell phone number's issuing location for
free... but if you're interested in tracing the name, address, and
background information about the owner,

If you want to trace cell phone numbers, you first need to look carefully
at the anatomy of the number itself. To keep up with the need for new
telephone numbers, the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) was developed
as a joint effort between AT&T and Bell.
The Anatomy of a Phone Number
According to the NANP, phone numbers are divided into three sections. The
first three numbers are known as the area code. The second three are known
as the central office code while the remaining four are the line number.
While the line number itself won’t provide you with much useful
information if you’re trying to trace cell phone calls, the other two sets
of digits can be very helpful.
The area code can start with any digit between 2 to 9, but the other two
digits can be made up of any numbers between 0 and 9. Area codes are
assigned to specific geographic areas. For example, the state of Indiana
is divided into six area code sections; and all of the telephone numbers
for the area around Indianapolis begin with a 317 area code, while the
entire southern part of the state’s numbers begin with 812. The same
concept is applied for all states.
Trace Cell Phone Numbers
When you want to trace cell phone numbers, you can use the area code to
narrow the number down to a certain area. In most cases, the area code
covers a few hundred exchanges. These exchanges, like area codes, begin
with a number between 2 to 9 and are followed by numbers that can be any
digit between 0 and 9. If you know which exchange represents which parts
of that zip code area, then you can close in on the location of the number
in question.
If you want to trace cell phone numbers on your own, you can do so in a
very limited way simply by finding out which part of the country is
represented by the specific area code. However, that will only help you
find a still relatively large area.
Knowing the section of that area covered by the exchange associated with
the number you’re investigating might help you narrow your search down to
a particular city or county, but will still not give you enough
information to zero in on your target.
Who Owns That Cell Phone?
To trace cell phone numbers, you need to access a
reverse phone
directory that includes cell phone listings. Unfortunately,
most of the popular directories do not contain these numbers and will,
therefore, be useless to you as you try to trace cell phone calls.
ReversePhoneDetective.com, on the other hand, contains hundreds of
millions of records about cell phones within the U.S. population. By
comparison, most other sites in the industry (even those advertising
"reverse cell phone lookups") only have a few million records (or none at
all!).
Furthermore, Reverse Phone Detective also give all customers professional
search assistance and has top ratings by many consumer reviews. Your
