Searching for a friend'smobile phone number? Nowhere to search? Well soon that could be a thing of the past. Mobile Phone numbers in the UK are managed by their individual networks which means that there is no central directory of phone numbers for mobile phone users. This looks like it might be about to change with the launch of a new online mobile phone directory for the UK.

Reverse Phone Lookup allows users to find the identity of someone by searching with just a telephone number. Whitepages used to offer this service but has been discontinued for privacy reasons. The assumption is that if you want to know the owner of a telephone number, you can just call that number and ask.

You can however use Whitepages for reverse address lookups. If you know someone's name and telephone number, you can potentially reverse them to an address by searching for the name and matching up the phone number. Use the search box above to get started.
