With the services and technology available today, you can quickly trace a mobile phone number and get the name and address information of the registered owner. This is often necessary if you are receiving prank calls or see repeat calls from the same number show up on your cell phone bill.
While there are literally hundreds of sites on the internet claiming to offer a free trace on a mobile phone number, it is not possible. Wireless numbers are not provided publicly in any directory.
Instead, companies have organized databases of information by collecting the records from wireless service providers and other organizations to build background information that can be accessed for a fee.
Understanding that many people want to use this information to prevent harassing phone calls or to reconnect with a friend with whom they have lost touch, these companies have made their reverse directories available to the general public.
