Do Those Reverse Telephone Directory Sites
Really Work?
Have you ever looked at the
phone book and wondered if you could look up a person by their
phone number?
Maybe you have a prank caller,
or you get mysterious calls at 2am when you're supposed to be
away from home and the person on the other end just hangs up.
Whatever the case, you really can find out a lot of information
by a person's phone number.
You can find out the names of
account holders, billing addresses and other public
records.
Of course, to do a search by
phone number you have several options. The first place everyone
goes is
a free reverse
telephone directorylookup
service.
While these services are fine
places to start, the information they provide is limited, and
only available for a small percentage of public phone
numbers.
The free services only use
public domaindatabases, such as your landline number. In effect,
this is just the same as having the local phone book on cd and
entering a number to see the attached entry.
The downside to this is that
they only work with landline numbers already listed in the
phone book, so if you want to look up anything else like a
cellphone, a VOIP number or an unlisted numberthen you're out of luck with the
free services.
How Accurate Are The Free
Lookup Services?
Another problem is that the
information you receive from doing a search by phone number
will only provide you with very basic details about the owner
of the phone number.You'll learn their name and address, but
probably not much else.
While that may be all you need
at the time, you may find other information about the person's
background useful to have.
Another big problem with the
free searches is that you'll find a lot of their information to
be out of date. This is just common sense really because if a
service is free, it's less likely to have people behind the
scenes keeping it current.
Inaccurate information is just
as bad as no information at all.
A more effective way to do a
search by phone number is through Reverse Phone Detective.
