How would one go about doing a reverse search on a cell phone number for free on the internet?

Answer 1

For LISTED landlines, you can go to www.whitepages.com and click onto REVERSE PHONE tab.

However, if you try this for cell phones, you will only get the following:
* carrier name. eg. Verizon wireless
* city and state of that phone number

But NO names.

Answer 2

reverse phone number search compiles hundreds of millions of phone book records to help locate the owner's name, location, time zone, email and other public information.

Use a reverse phone lookup to:
Get the identity of an unknown caller.
Identify an area code.
Recall the name of a person whose number you wrote down.
Identify an unfamiliar phone number that shows up on your bill.
