Using Whitepages.com For Reverse Phone Lookups

You can use Whitepages.com to find out who owns a listed land line phone number. Because the web site just searches a large database which is the culmination of merging all the residential phone books from around the US, you can only find basic information for land lines.

Although this service is free and fast, it's important to note that most of the information it brings back is out of date or unreliable. What's more, it only comes back with name and address meaning that you can't actually see any background information for it, etc.

In essence, it's a very basic reverse phone lookup which is why it shouldn't be relied on too much and should just be used as a "first step" in finding out the details of someone (as we cover on our homepage).

To perform a lookup with Whitepages, you just need to browse to the web site and then click on the "Reverse Lookup" tab. This will bring you to the reverse phone lookup screen where you can then type your phone number

As per the image below, all you need to do then is type the phone number in the left hand box. Clicking "Search" will then reveal the information behind the phone number.
