There are very few people in the world who have never received a call from an unknown number. Most of the time we write these calls off as telemarketers, but when the calls keep coming, it is time to find out who is making the call and why they continue to pester your phone. The trouble is that cell phones, which many people use today as their primary phone line, are not listed in public phone directories. In the past few years, technology and the Internet have paired up to offer reverse cell phone databases that can be searched for the same information provided in the white pages.
The technology for reverse cell phone look ups is the same used by local police, state police and the FBI. The power is not in the traditional listed land line search, it is in finding information about unlisted phone numbers and cell numbers that are not listed in public directories. There are plenty of sites that will offer FREE reverse phone look-up, but these will never give the information a paid service will provide and most require payment before simple information like the name of the caller will be revealed.
Specialized companies that offer information on unlisted numbers and cell phones will be paid services. This is due to the fact that the companies providing the information must pay for the details associated with the phone number. Databases do not illegally mine information. Cellular phone companies actually sell the information to the databases for their use in reverse cell phone look-ups.
When using the search, all you need is the phone number of the caller (including the area code). That number will be plugged into the search bar and instantly the information you are looking for will be revealed.
