Have Phone Number Need Name? I get emails ffrom people like this all the time they are very desperate because they are inundated with phone calls. So If you have a phone number and need the name of the cellphone owner and you want to find this information for free. For starters I would do a search of the cell phone number by placing it in quotes. Like this “505-555-5555” If this doesn’t yield any results then I would recommend searching some of the social networking sites one by one. You can search Myspace, Facebook, Twitter actually any site that has a public profile. 

Here’s how you do it: Simply type site: and then the website name with no space like this site:http://(Put site domain here) and then a space and the person’s name in quotes and any other information you may have like the state or zip code or whatever. If they have their cell phone listed in their profile then you can get it like that or you can also email them to make contact. This method works but take a long time. Here’s an example of what to type in if you were to look for someone named Jim Smith site:http://www.facebook.com “Jim smith” “Georgia” 

Now if you are like me and you don’t want to spend hours searching through social networking sites then take a look at our review site at you guessed it. http://www.havephonenumberneedname.org you’ll find honest reviews of the best reverse phone number look up sites online. 

Here’s a tip for you if you want to find a landline number online did you know that Google is one of the largest phone books in the world. It’s true you can search Google for phone numbers and addresses anywhere in the United States. Pretty nifty right? 

What types of listings can you search for? Well you can search for residential listings, business listings or both. 

Simply type the word bphonebook: to search business listings, rphonebook: to search residential listings or just phonebook: to search all phone listings in front of any of the following listings in the Google search box. 

first name , or first initial, last name, city the state is optional
first name, or first initial, last name, state
first name, or first initial, last name, area code
first name, or first initial, last name, zip code
phone number, including area code
last name, city, state

Let’s say you wanted to do a business search for as an example Johnson’s plumbing in Wisconsin. You would simply type

bphonebook: johnson plumbing wisconsin

This type of search should give you all of the plumbers in Wisconsin with the last name Johnson. 

Let’s say you wanted to find a residential search for an old class mate named Sam Peppardino and you are pretty sure he moved to Georgia you would type in rphonebook: Sam Peppardino Georgia 

Google will list their name address and phone number and they even give you a map to the right of each listing for directions.

It’s a lot of fun especially when you find what you are looking for. I found people I haven’t heard from in years. Now it doesn’t work all the time but it’s a cool little service that most people don’t even know about. Unfortunately you will only find public phone numbers and sorry no cell phone numbers. It seems that some numbers are old or outdated. Some public numbers aren’t listed either. For what it’s worth it is a lot easier on the eyes and much quicker than using a regular phonebook. 

Oh and if you don’t want your information listed just go to this link http://www.google.com/help/pbremoval.html and then just simply follow the instructions they provide. 

So the next time you are asked the question have phone number need name? Now you know what to tell them whether they want the convenience of a search directory or the cost free but time consuming search engine method.
