Google isn't like 'artificial intelligence'
"Question: "How can I do a reverse phone look up without being charged.....I want to do it for free""

First hit in the Google search (retrieved today "Free Reverse Phone Number Lookup | WhitePages"

Google cannot provide answers to anything, really. It just points people to the answers.

I realize you're trying to be cute, but the purpose of this community is to help others out with their questions as well as tech discussions. While, yes, the OP could have simply spent time Googling these answers him/herself, it can be a time consuming process. Google is no longer the great search engine it used to once be, so spending time going through all the trash returns can take awhile. I, for one, appreciate the quick and helpful responses of the fellow posters here in this community who are willing to help someone save time by having the answers they need rather than someone basically saying to bug off and find it yourself.

Nonsense, there are several sites that charge nothing and do not require a credit card, ever !!!

The WhoAreYou application is 100% free and works like a charm for me. I use the app with YouMail, which is also 100% free. In the past, I have used whitepages.com on my phone and computer without having to pay anything additional.

Of course there will be some internet sites that ask for a credit card, just avoid them like the plague.

whitepages.com is also free. There are many that do indeed charge fees, sometimes for more comprehensive data (Spokeo is a good example.) There are plenty of free ones out there, if you look hard enough.

whitepages is not free. They offer similar 'teaser' information as all the others (which was incorrect when I tried it on my number, btw) and then request something like $10 for the information.

Wow, I never had a problem using whitepages.com for free. I guess this is a fairly recent change for the worse IMHO.
