By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Robin_Meyer]Robin Meyer It used to be that if you want to call someone, just go grab the phone book andbut wait, they have a cell phone. A number that you dont have, now what? Do a search on the Internet. Any Who, Switchboard, White Pages, and Yahoo Directory are some sites that make finding a landline phone or address on the Internet easy. Unfortunately, cell phone numbers arent in these directories, but that doesnt mean they cant be found. Paid Searches People searches on the Internet abound. You can type in someones last name and state where they live to find out their phone number and address. Theres also the option to pay for their personal background report. Phone Searches is one such site where searchers must pay to find phone numbers. If you have the name and address of someone, but wish to get their cell number, you can pay $125 to Phone Searches, and they will retrieve the number for you. Of course, it may be easier (and cheaper!) to pay your friend a visit and admit you lost their number. Free Phone Listings Free cell phone directory sites are out there and although many of them do not have a lot of listings or are spread thin (some are worldwide), they are intent on growing and offer different, yet valuable information. Each site has their own ideas on how to make themselves unique and user-friendly. Ideas range from personalization like letting people choose an alias like Batman that will act as a password for their data to restricted searches so not just anyone can find your information. Here are a few of the free sites, all three of which are voluntary: Cell Phone Directory offers a free listing and will email you every time someone searches for and reviews your listing. You can limit your listings access to friends, family, business associates, and others by entering a question a searcher must give the answer to in order to see your information. Mobile Phone No is a non-profit worldwide directory where users can search for free, while being able to add or delete their own information. To keep information up-to-date, users are emailed reminders to renew their entries before they expire after one year. The National Cellular Directory is a cell phone directory site where you add your cell phone number to the directory before searching for someone elses number. Hanging Up On Directories If youre thinking that a few cell phone carriers like Cingular and T-Mobile should get together and compose a cell phone directory based on their subscribers, thats not a new idea. Called the Wireless 411 Service, it is founded on the premise that callers can dial into the voice 411 system, telling the operator whether they want a landline or wireless number. If the caller wants a wireless number from someone who agreed to list their number, the operator will access the wireless database to connect the caller or provide the number. Here are some of its features: The service is opt-in only. Carriers let their subscribers choose whether they want to be listed. A carrier deciding to launch their service for its subscribers will notify its subscribers, having them formally express consent to be included in the service. Subscribers are able to opt-out with no identifying information in the database by contacting their carrier. Subscribers can list, delete, or add their information for free. Unless the recipient chooses to answer the call, there is no cost from a call coming from the 411 wireless system. Managed by Qsent, Inc., this once much-anticipated Wireless 411 Service is now a project from which major carriers have pulled away. It has been on hold for years, to the relief of cell phone owners everywhere worried that it may not be as private as proposed. So it looks like cell phone number lookups are all over the Internet, but the majority of the sites out there give cell phone owners the choice of entering their phone number and due to little demand as of yet, are not comprehensive. Still think telemarketers might get a hold of your number? Consider adding your cell phone number to the National Do Not Call Registry.
