How do I find out what cell phone service provider a certain phone number is with?

I have a cell phone number that I THINK my late father was/is paying for. I am the executor of his estate now and would like to find out if he's the responsible party for that phone as someone else is currently using it and I'd rather his estate was not responsible for the potential thousand dollar phone bill.

How do I find out if that number is with sprint/verizon/etc.?

    Whitepages.com can provide it for free. If that doesn't work try this:

    http://www.phonenumberscan.com/

    They provide a service for checking the company of any phone number for a fee. However, if the info can save you a thousand dollars, then I guess it's worth it. Hope this helps.

    PhoneDetective is a caller ID application that covers landline numbers, cell phones, and business lines in the United States. Check here ( http://reversephones.info/ ) The way it works is simple: Step 1: Enter a phone number into the search box (you can begin a search here) Step 2: Preview your results (basic information about the number, such as city/state) Step 3: Pay to view full results (name and address of owner, if available). There are many reasons why you might want to conduct a reverse phone search: 1- Find out the source of a harassing ("prank") caller. 2- Research a number that appeared on your phone bill. 3- Locate an old friend from high school or college 4- Research "missed calls" on your caller ID that you don't recognize. 5- Verify an address. -6 And more...

    You might just have to call around. You can take your phone number to different carriers now, so it could be any of them.
