Question

I received the phone as a gift, and the phone number is nowhere to be found on the phone. I can't call anyone to find the number, no minutes, It is a cingular phone.

Answer 1

Cell phones don't have a phone number unless there is service. There is a number behind the battery that the phone company uses to associate your phone with a number. Go to Cingular.

Answer 2

The best reverse cell phone lookup service that I have tried is http://reversephone.toptips.org

From using a reverse cell phone lookup you will be able to get the callers name and address just
by typing the phone numbers they will tell you the details related to the number.
The reverse cell phone lookup service has your details available they will give you the cell phones location. For a full report including a name and address and other interesting informations you will have to pay.
Enter the number in the system and they will tell you a lot of informations about the phone number and the person who owns it.
If they have extra details you will have to pay for the report.
Free reverse phone lookup sites generally provide the most basic of information such as name and it works only for landlines. To get further information, money will have to be paid. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book.
This service is great, I used it a lot f time with great results: I always obtained what I was searching for.
I definitely reccomend this service.

Answer 3

You are lucky you asked. One thing is be honest, is there any
possibility that the phone was found, traded, used, or stolen
from like a yard sale. IF the phone is clear you have nothing
to worry about and cingular, verizon, whomever you take it
to will make the connection, assign the number, and you are
good to go. Otherwise, if it is from someone setting you as
a fool, those companies do not investigate, and you can toss
it in the event someone is checking you out. They will set it up
you need just ask for the family, freedom or private service at
the beginners level.
