Sure, free sites DO exist, but NOT for faxes. Type in a search like "free fax reverse number look-up," and you'll probably get some businesses that provide free searches, but usually only offer details on carriers rather than individual caller info.

"So why isn't there a free service for faxes?" you ask.

Possibly after much searching, and much time-consuming trail-and-error, you have undoubtedly found that reverse fax lookup services don't exist for faxes, and now you want to know why this is. Many free services are available to trace land-based numbers. "So," now you ask, "why for home phones but not for faxes?"

Simply stated, it really depends solely on the how the info is stored. In the rare exception that a home phone number is specifically unpublished, it is listed as a public record. This means that anyone can look up your land-based number in a general directory, completely without your permission, or even knowledge. To have an unpublished number almost always means paying a fee just to ensure that your number doesn't get listed in any public directory.

On the other hand, wireless numbers are regarded as confidential personal information. Since many fax machine owners can still be paying for each call (whether incoming or outgoing), it is actually illegal for telemarketers to reach you on your fax without first getting permission. This reason, among others, makes it extremely difficult to find fax numbers.

Then, there is the 411 service.

A few years back, much inquisition was made into whether or not we should have fax phone directories. In this "plan," a general database of numbers would have been created as fax service providers gave a list of all their clients fax numbers. Many confidentiality boundaries where feared to be in jeopardy of being crossed as clients worried about telemarketers being able to access their private fax number.

But it's still a cold-hard fact that these cellphone directories DO in fact exist! Putting these lists together takes a considerable amount of time and money, since the information is acquired and loaded into a database manually from many different sources. Having said this, no business will go through all the hassle and expense, just to provide a free service, where they would actually LOSE money. It is also worth mentioning that a great many reverse fax lookups simply don't have adequate data to give you enough detailed information.
