What Is A Reverse Phone Lookup?
A reverse phone lookup is an electronic database that allows users to find out personal information on a caller based on their phone number.
The reason the “reverse” is included in a “reverse phone lookup” is because typically you search for a person’s phone number based on already having their name. But the process is reversed in a reverse phone lookup.
How Phone Lookups Began
In the beginning, the “Yellow Pages” were the defacto way people found phone numbers for companies and individuals.
Soon operators went out of style and the phone companies introduced call waiting, voicemail and caller ID, which was the first electronic phone lookup.
Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies and some government agencies were using reverse phone lookups in print for decades before they became available to the public.
With the tremendous adoption of the internet, sites began to pop up that promised reverse phone lookup for a fee.
But there are also some free reverse phone lookup databases.
