Find a Person By Phone Number (USA only)

Use an online reverse phone number lookup service.
There are many reverse lookup services, but my personal recommendation is Reverse Phone Detective - it worked for me when I was trying to figure out who kept calling me from a phone number I didn't recognize.

Do not pay an upfront fee until you are sure that particular site has information on the specific phone number you're interested in. Many websites try to charge a monthly or one-time fee just to conduct the search, but they will be charging you for something that you can do for free elsewhere.

Use a search engine to search for the number. This is another way to trace phone numbers. You may be surprised to learn what could turn up if you type someone's phone number into an Internet search engine. The phone number could be posted in online ads or in discussion forums, among other places. Be sure to place the number in quotes, because most search engines will otherwise just look for the three groups of numbers separately. Try different formats, such as "(123) 456-7890", "123-456-7890", or "123.456.7890" to make sure you find all possible results no matter how the phone number was listed. You may want to try to search by phone number on several different major search engines, as they all provide slightly different search results.

Of course, it is easier to find someone if you have more than a phone number, but it's not impossible to do if that's all you have. Trying different ways of online searching or using a reverse phone lookup service is faster and much cheaper than hiring someone to do it for you, but some phone numbers just can't be traced any other way. Now that you know how to find people by phone number, you're on your way to tracing that caller.
