Cell phone number information isn’t in the public domain, whereas landline phone numbers are. What this means is that information for landlines is very easy for someone to get together and create a free phone lookup service, whereas the cell phone number info is much harder to get hold of. It costs the companies that provide the cell phone lookup a lot more to get the information & maintain the service.

However there is one way you can do your own reverse cell phone number lookup for free. Simply type the number you’re looking for in on Google – ie. “123-456-7890″ – & hit search. Just make sure you include the double quotes around the number so Google knows to treat it as one big ‘word’ instead of 3 separate ‘words’.

There’s no guarantees this will work, but it’s definitely worth a try. You’d be surprised how many people submit their phone numbers online in classified ads or business listings – if this has happened, the cell number you’re looking for will come up.

And this will look up land lines:

at the top click “reverse lookup” or something like that. although it used to give more information about the number than it does now, i guess for security reasons they are making it more private/making it cost money. but it should still give you SOME information about the number.

except i just read that you were getting bad texts as well-that means its from a cell phone, so theres really no way to get any information about that. even cops/detectives have to do extensive research to find out information about cell phone holders. if they are threatening messages, you really should alert some authority anyway…
