If you need to find names of cell phone owners you may have realized by now that you cannot just load up the yellow pages and start searching around because you will find no cell phone numbers listed there at all. This can be frustrating when you desperately need to know the owner of a cell number for many reasons, maybe you are being prank called, threatened, need to know who you will be speaking with to be more professional or maybe the number was found on your spouse’s phone and it seemed suspicious?

In any case, the reason you cannot find cell phone numbers in most directories is because there is a major difference between cell numbers and regular numbers in the laws that govern how they are published because regular phone numbers unlike cell phone number are a part of the Public Domain.

What does that mean you ask?

Well, basically being in the public domain means that all people have the right to know about these numbers and they can be published anywhere. There is no copyright on them as they are considered free information. This means there are central databases of these numbers and why phone directories are so numerous and given away for free. Cell phone numbers on the pother hand are NOT public domain so there are no freely accessible cell phone directories. They are not secret or protected but because they are not freely available they are not put on sites like the yellow pages.

Then how do I find names of cell phone owners then?

Do not despair on this front. While cell phone numbers are hard to find the owners of there are some clever people out there who HAVE managed to put together a cell phone directory; a reverse cell phone directory even which is what you need if you have a cell phone number that you need to know the owner of!
