Cell Phone – Reverse Phone Listings

Finding a person’s cell phone number isn’t all that difficult these days. One need only to run a search on the name in the many social networking sites (such as FaceBook) or a Google search can be done on the person’s name. Of course, this does produce a lot of extraneous results and can be quite mind-numbing to sift through.

But, what if you only know the cell phone number and not the name?

Reverse phone listings were created for just such an occasion. These are directories of mobile phone numbers that are search-able by cell phone number and provides identifying information of the phone owner. Every directory offers a different mix of search results, but almost all of them will provide to the researcher the name, address, connection status, and carrier information of the cellular phone′s owner.

Many have found a wide variety of uses for these reverse phone search engines. Some have traced their own mobile phone numbers to turn up lost bills. Of course, many have used these services to track down a lost family member or friend.

Public telephone directories, such as the phone books located in everyone′s home, do not list cell phone numbers. Thus, directories of just cell phone listings were created. Naturally, the creation and maintenance of one of these directories can be costly. This is why most of these services must charge usage fees. Granted, there are free cell phone directories on the net, but these tend to have limited directories and information that is outdated. These free databases will never be able to document people who change cell phone numbers and or move with great regularity.

The largest growing user of these cell phone databases are businesses who wish to run a “trace report.” Many of these look-up services offer a report that gives details about the cell phone′s owner. These details are used by businesses to run background checks on prospective employees and prospective clients. Debt collectors are using these trace reports to reveal the debtor’s name, address, bankruptcies, marital status, employment background, criminal history, and even credit statistics.

Private individuals use these directories often too. Mostly people use these reverse look up services to find out who a “missed call” was or to identify an unfamiliar number on a phone bill. Individuals are also using these services to determine the identity of a prank caller or a text-message-bully. Parents are even using these directories to ascertain information about the people their teenagers are “hanging out″ with.

Just like the land line telephone companies, cell phone companies offer to have your mobile number be “unlisted.” All you have to do is pay your carrier a fee to “block″ your cell number. Privacy comes at a price.
