How to Track Someone by Cell Phone Number

Tracing cell phone numbers can be tricky because cell phone companies have worked diligently to keep customer information private. However, there are companies that allow you to track someone by cell phone number. These reverse lookup services charge a small fee to provide the cell phone owner's name and address. Although there are free cell phone tracing companies, they only provide the cell phone carrier information and city where the owner lives. Here's a guide to tracking someone by cell phone number.

Tips & Warnings

• You may be able to track down the phone number using a search engine. Just type the phone number into the search bar (enclosing the phone number in parentheses), and if the number belongs to a business, their information will be displayed in the search results.
• Understand how to use free cell phone directories. Although there are many companies advertising free cell phone directories, they typically only provide the city where the phone is registered.
