However, there are some companies online that do provide reverse phone lookup service, fully legal, but for a small fee that can be paid by credit card or PayPal.

Let’s look at a few reasons why you might want to look up a phone number and get information as to who’s calling and where they’re located. You may have been receiving phone calls from a non-talker, someone who just calls, then waits for 10 or 20 seconds, and then hangs up. Many times these sorts of calls are made by a computer that is connected up to a telemarketing organization, the computer makes the calls then waits for you to answer, then transfers the call to live telemarketer who comes on the line and starts the conversation. However, when there is no telemarketer available for the transfer, you end up listening to silence, and then a hang up with no reason given.

In order to discover just exactly who it is that is calling you and put an end to this ridiculous waste of your time, you will need to take that number, find out who it is that is generating the call, where they’re located. Then, look them up to find out their general office number, so that you can call them and make a complaint.

And that is where reverse phone lookup services can save your day.
