Do payphones always come up as residential on a reverse phone lookup site?

Ok, I have these weird phone numbers on my cell phone that I don’t recognize and I started searching them one by one at reverse phone lookup sites (switchboard, whitepages and www.411.com) Anyway, these numbers came up as residential numbers and they are in my city and state too. I remember husband calling me from work on a payphone but a payphone wouldn’t come up as a residential line would it?

a payphone is not counted as a residential number by the phone company.

The problem is that with the number of landline and mobile phones is that you can have several phone numbers that are exactly the same, with the only difference being the area code. So if your call log shows only a 7 digit number and you do a reverse look up, then it may turn up a residential phone number more often than not.

    I am not sure whether it would come up as a residential number or not, but to make sure why don’t you perform a reverse unlisted number lookup at http://reversecellphonesearcher.com ?
