Reverse Lookup
Find Information With A Reverse Phone Directory

By , About.com Guide

If you're trying to find someone's address or phone number, sometimes the easiest way to go about it is to use a reverse phonebook lookup. Usually, all you have to do is type in someone's phone number, and you'll discover who belongs to that phone number and what their address is (if they're listed, that is). Here are just a few reverse lookup sources:

  • Google.com: Google is a great reverse phone directory resource. All you need to do is type in the entire phone number with area code in this format:
    • 555-555-1212
    and Google will give you a reverse phonebook lookup result.
  • WhitePages.com: The White Pages will search regular phone numbers, toll-free numbers, and numbers with characters.
  • SuperPages.com: This site is part of the Verizon network. Enter in the entire phone number, and if you're not sure of a particular number, SuperPages allows use of the wildcare, or *, character.
  • Langenberg Reverse Phone Directory:Reverse directory phone book for White Pages, Yellow Pages and reverse street addresses.
