Who Calling? Find Out Fast With a Reverse Cell Phone Directory?
Posted by China Sourcing CommentatorJun 10
Have you ever missed a call from a number you donâ??t quite recognize?  It looks oddly familiar, but you donâ??t want to take a chance on calling it back because it just might be somebody you would rather not talk with.  Or maybe you have wondered just who your child is speaking with.  Or better yet, whom is your wife speaking with at crazy hours of the night out in the garage crouched behind the riding lawnmower? Well, these are some of the reasons a reverse cell phone directory was created.  How does a reverse cell phone directory work? Before anything, youâ??ll need to do is find a reliable and reputable source.  You could try the White Pages or any of the other free online sources.  If the call came from a landline phone, then youâ??ll be all set.  Youâ??ll be able to get the name and address of the person and your problem will be solved.  But what if the call came from a mobile phone?Then things get just a bit trickier.  Cell phone numbers are not a matter of public record, so they are not publicly listed.  Up until a few years ago, the only way to search these numbers was to contact the local authorities or a private investigator.  However, recently the major wireless carriers began to lease the information behind these numbers to online third party brokers.  These are the sites that make the data available to the public.  But there is a difference from one directory to the next. The difference is that all the sites have to change a fee for the results of such inquiries.  Some disclose this up front.  While others will employ a bait and switch tactic where they advertise the results for free, but still hit you with the fee in the end.  Remember, all these sites have to pay the wireless carriers for the ability to offer this information.  So, they all have to pass the fee onto the customer. The shadier sites will have you go through the whole search process, only to disappoint you in the end.  At this point, all trust is lost.  These sites will also try to charge a higher fee than the more reputable sites.  Their hope is that you will be willing to pay this higher fee now that you are one click away from getting the information you are after.  Never mind the fact that they lied to you just to get you that point.  One last thing to consider is just how accurate and up to date the results you are about to receive will actually be.  The more reputable sites offer a money-back guarantee.  If you are not fully satisfied, you can just ask for a refund and you will be granted one with no questions asked.  You will also be allowed to search the database prior to making the purchase.  Once you find out if the number exists in the database, you can do one of two things.  You can choose to pay a one-time fee for the results of that particular search.  Or you can choose to pay a slightly higher fee to perform unlimited searches.  The results will reveal the following information at a minimum
In many cases, youâ??ll also be able to find out the cell phone ownerâ??s age and occupation along with miscellaneous other personal information. Â Before doing any of this, you could first try to see if the number exists online. Â This is a free and simple method. Â Just enter the number in Google, MSN, or any other search engine. Â It doesnâ??t happen often, but sometimes you can get a match. Â But if this worked that well, there wouldnâ??t be a need or demand for the services of a reverse cell phone directory.
