How to know the Phone Carrier information

From Telephone Number Identification http://tnid.us/
This amazing service has so far determined the correct current wireless carrier and the correct original wireless carrier for many different cellular phone numbers.
From Cingular/AT & T:

 http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/mobile-to-mobile/lookup.jsp

The above web page from Cingular/AT&T lets you enter in your friends phone numbers and then it tells you if they are part of the AT&T wireless cellular network or not.
The instructions at AT&T wireless are login and click on Message Center. In the right hand column look for Mobile to Mobile. Direct Link: https://www.wireless.att.com/olam/m2mLookupAction.olamexecute?dispatchEvent=handleCheckMoreNumbers

From Verizon Wireless:

 http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/LNPControllerServlet?path=lnppromo1The above web page from Verizon Wireless lets you enter in your friends phone numbers and then it tells you if they are part of the Verizon Wireless cellular network or not. (If the are IN)
The above web pages from the cellular companies are great services in my opinion. If you know of a similar service from other cellular providers then please email me at jeffsbaker@sbcglobal.net
From number-finder.info http://www.number-finder.info/
Make and take a lot of calls from your cellular phone? This tool isn't as handy as it used to be because of number portability (you can now take your number from one cell provider to a new provider). But if you want to know if the phone number might be in your network, type it in at the above website.
The above website will tell you what carrier that number was originally sold to. If it is in your network you might be able to call this person without being charged.
The above web site is also useful if you didn't answer your phone because you didn't know who was calling. Type the number in at www.intelius.com and if it is a listed number it will tell you the name of the person or business or at at least the city and state.
From Addresses.com http://phonenumbers.addresses.com/phone.php
The above web page has a field under "Reverse Phone Lookup". If you enter a phone number there, it seems to have a better chance of finding out who owns the number then intelius.com does.
Who Called Us http://www.whocalled.us/
The phone is ringing and you do no recognize the number. The above site can help you figure out who is calling and what they want, especially if they are a telemarkete
