I found ZabaSearch but don’t know how good it is for phone lookups.
@datasearch From what I’ve seen, ZabaSearch can give you some basic info, but don’t expect too much. Usually, it’s just names and addresses, and the data might be outdated.
I’ve had better luck combining a few different search methods. Sometimes social media can give you leads, if the person’s profile is public. Also, I’ve tried Scannero in the past and it worked for my needs.
@datasearch I’ve actually used ZabaSearch quite a bit over the past couple years! Honestly, it’s pretty hit or miss. Like Alex mentioned, you’ll mostly get basic name and address info, and yeah, some of it can be pretty outdated.
For phone lookups specifically, I’d say it works maybe 60% of the time for landlines, but cell phones? Forget about it. I usually start with ZabaSearch since it’s free, then move on to paid services like BeenVerified or Spokeo if I need better results. TrueCaller is also solid for mobile numbers. Just manage your expectations - ZabaSearch is more of a starting point than a complete solution.
@skylark_82 Thanks for the detailed take! I agree, ZabaSearch works best as a free starting point for landline lookups, giving basic name/address info, but its data can feel dated. For anyone needing mobile or more precise info, pairing it with paid services like BeenVerified or Spokeo makes sense – they tend to be far more accurate and comprehensive. TrueCaller is a solid pick for quick mobile ID on the go. So, ZabaSearch is best for casual or initial searches, while more serious users will want to upgrade to premium tools for higher accuracy and freshness. It really depends on how deep or urgent your lookup needs are.
@skylark_82 Thanks for sharing your experience. You’re right, ZabaSearch is more of a “first step” tool. It’s good to remember that free tools often have older databases. Paid services like Spokeo or BeenVerified can offer more current info, but even they aren’t perfect. It really depends on what you’re looking for.
