Does anyone know how to look up a cellphone number

Nope

Did you try . . .
Did you try switchboard.com? Or, even Google, for that matter? You can get information on other numbers with Google. Type in your own on Google and see what you find![/color]

It is a cell phone number, so It won't come up in a google search or the switchboard.com option

I have searched up and down and can't find anyway to get it without paying

Try calling it and asking who it is because you received a missed call from them.

I am not sure why you need to find out whom this person is but I'm assuming you don't want them to know who you are for some reason. If that's the case, use a pay phone.

[quote]Here's a little tid-bit of information that might save you a dollar or two! Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 or more for 411 information
calls.

When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial 1-800-FREE-411 or 1-800-373-3411 without incurring a charge at all except for the minutes required to make the call. You can enter this number in your address book as "Information".

Free 411

Claim: The phone number 1-800-FREE-411 offers free directory assistance service.

Status: True.

Example: [Collected via e-mail, 2005]

-->Origins: One of the many changes that has taken place in the telephone industry in the last few decades is that while phone companies once generally provided their local customers with free directory assistance (via the 411 phone number), in most cases telephone customers are now charged a fee (typically $1.00 or more) for each directory assistance call. Despite the charges, U.S. consumers continue to avail themselves of the 411 directory assistance service, placing about 6 billion such calls per year.

Now, however, an outfit called Jingle Networks is providing an alternative directory assistance service - ad it's free. Users who call the toll-free number 1-800-FREE411 <http://www.free411.com/index.htm> (or 1-800-373-3411) can navigate a nifty automated voice recognition system that asks for a location (city and state), type of listing (business, government, or residential), and name. Once the service has located an entry for the requested number, it reads the information aloud and offers the caller the option of connecting to the number by pressing a single number on his telephone keypad.

How can Free-411 afford to offer free directory assistance service? It works sort of like commercial radio or television - businesses pay to sponsor it in exchange for presenting their advertisements to customers. The funding of Free-411 is typically explained thusly:
The service is made possible by thousands of national and local businesses who sponsor this service with brief valuable audio advertisements that are played to callers who request businesses in their yellow pages category. This advertising model allows businesses to acquire new customers over the phone, cost effectively, with little or no risk. Meanwhile callers get free directory assistance, potentially saving each of them thousand of dollars per year.

The way it works in practice is that a caller who requests a businessnumber is first presented with a short (about 12 seconds) audio
advertisement for a sponsor who operates a competing business in that area; the caller is then given the option of being connected to either that
competitor or the business he originally requested. If no sponsor operates a local competingbusiness, then the caller hears no advertisement at all.

(In the latter case, if the caller accepts the option to connect to the desired number, the business receiving the call hears a short message at
the beginning advising them that the call was placed via Free-411, and a Free-411 salesman may follow up with them a few days later to solicit them as a potential advertiser.)

We made three separate trial calls to 1-800-FREE411 asking for information on different local businesses, and in each case the voice recognition system smoothly processed all our spoken information and correctly identified the businesses of interest. In only one trial out of the three were we presented with an audio advertisement.

Free-411 also offers directory assistance information via a free web site <http://www.free411.com/searchresults.php?searchtype=2> .
