How To Trace Who Owns a Phone Number

To trace who owns a phone number, you will first need to establish if the number is not one that you already know the owner of but have "forgotten". This could mean that it's the number of a long lost friend or distant relative and so you should compare the number you're trying to trace with your address book to ensure that you don't already know the owner.

If you've done that to no avail, then it's time to see if the number is a publicly listed land line. By searching on sites such as Whitepages.com (on the Reverse Lookup tab), you can find out if the number is on any public registries. These sites work by searching a huge database of public listings to give you access to see if the number you're trying to trace is actually listed in the "national" phone book.

If you search on Whitepages.com and can't find the number, it means that it's either an unlisted land line OR a different line type (different from the easier-to-trace land line). If you've had no luck with the searches in your address book or Whitepages, then you will need to either perform a reverse phone trace or try any find the number with some free methods.
