Try Yahoo! For Free Reverse Phone Lookups

Evangeline Bruce
Yahoo is the second largest search engine after Google, and while you can use it to search for free reverse phone lookup sites, you should also know that Yahoo offers it own free reverse phone lookup service.

Yahoo´s free reverse phone search service is located on their white pages - Yahoo People Search - and is located at http://people.yahoo.com. At Yahoo People Search you can not only do a reverse number search, you can also perform a Phone and Address search as well as an email search.

Conducting a reverse phone search with Yahoo is a very straightforward process, and can be done as follows:

Make sure you have the area code and phone number of the individual you are looking up

Connect to the internet and access the Yahoo People Search site

Enter the number and area code into the search box that is provided (I.E. 111-111-1111) and click the "Reverse Phone Search" button, or hit the "enter" button on your keyboard.

Yahoo will search its database and load a new page with its results.

If the number you entered returns successful results, you will be provided with the person´s name (either the full name or the last name and first initial), the state and city they are located in, and sometimes an address will be given. However, this is the extent of the personal information you will be provided with.


Yahoo will also give you a map and directions that match the address that has been provided. If no address is given, the map will approximate where the individual is located. In addition, Yahoo allows you to add the person you searched for to your address book. Simply click on the link provided, sign into your Yahoo account and follow the instructions.

Keep in mind that not every number is listed, so don´t be disappointed if your free reverse phone search doesn´t return results. Furthermore, Yahoo´s reverse phone search only works for American phone numbers, so you won´t be able to find information on anyone with an international phone number.

Additionally, you should know that in order to do a more thorough reverse phone search, a reverse cell phone search, or find an unlisted number, you will likely need to use a pay service.

If you don´t find what you´re looking for with Yahoo, you can check out this site which has free cell phone lookup tools .
