How to Reverse an International Phone Number

1. Use Bestpeoplesearch.com. This is probably the most thorough people-search tool on the Internet. With the international service you can get the name and address of a person using either a cell phone or a landline, anywhere in the world, whether the number is unlisted, published or blocked. The drawback here is that even though it is likely to bring results, the address and name may be false. Also, at $247 as of 2009, the service is quite pricey. This is due to the fact that you are actually assigned a personal investigator to do the legwork for you. If they are unable to get results for you, they will refund your money minus a $47 administration fee. Go to the website and scroll down to 'Search by Mobile Number' or 'Search by Phone Number.'
2. Use iinfosearch.com. This is another pay-for-search site where you will be assigned an investigator. This service is a little bit less at $240 as of 2009, and if there are no results, you'll get $200 back and be charged a $40 fee.
3. Use numberway.com. This is a good place to start if you are short on money, as it is free to use. However, these are essentially yellow and white pages from all over the world. The drawback here is that if the phone number you are looking for is unlisted, or if the cell phone it is a prepaid phone, then you are unlikely to find any information on it. Go to the website, choose the region, then choose the country and put in the phone number and see what comes up.
4. Use searchpeopledirectory.com. This site is similar to numberway.com, although you also can do background checks and credit reports. Again, this site is free, the problem is that it doesn't bring up any results if the phone number is unlisted or if it is a prepaid phone. The international reverse directory is at the top of the page. Just click on this link and type in the phone number. It will at least tell you the country if you have the code.

2. First you need a cellphone carrier. It helps a lot if you have been with the same cellphone carrier for a long time (I'm talking years here, at least 2). The next thing you need is a little edge in your voice. Get on with the customer service representative with a I will not take no for an answer attitude. Serving the customer is supposed to be what they are doing, and if they want to keep your business they better listen to you.
3. Explain that your phone has been damaged and no longer works. Let them know you have been a very loyal customer to them. Tell them you always paid your bill on time (or at least very close to it). And let them know that you will go somewhere else where you can get a free phone for signing up with another cellphone carrier other than them. Losing your business is usually a surefire way to get what you want. Especially if you have been a loyal customer who paid your bill on time! Try this out next time you need a new cellphone when yours breaks and I'm sure you will be pleased with the results!!
