Reverse Cell Phone Lookup Service

By Alex Grim


Reverse phone number lookup was developed to help identify the person behind the calls we receive that are anonymous. Whenever we get a call from an unregistered number in our phone, we usually think twice whether to answer it or not and we cannot avoid thinking about who it might be. This kind of thinking deepens especially if the caller fails to identify himself and leaving us worried about the person's true intentions. Knowing the identity of that caller can help us be at ease.

A reverse phone number look up is a newly developed technology by engineers that allows individuals to search for the identity of the owner of a certain phone number. Since a telecommunications carrier has phone numbers associated with the registered owner's personal information, it is used by the engineers to retrieve necessary information about a certain number.

The first thing that usually comes to mind when we receive a call from an unknown individual is to look it up on the white or yellow page. It is only then that we would realize that it is impossible to find the owner of the number in a white or yellow page since name is necessary in using such archive.

Many would like to know the identity of a certain caller especially if it involves the security of the family. One cannot deny that the young generation nowadays is exposed to scandals and violence and this is all through the Internet. Children may give their phone number to a stranger they met online and they may be at risk at being a victim of online scammers and people who may have ill intentions towards teens and children alike. Reverse phone number look up is also used by law enforcing agencies to identify the origin of a certain call which may help in assisting people who needs help. This is only possible if the phone number is publicly accessible.

Just like what you see on a Yellow Page, information about the owner can be found on a reverse phone number lookup. The name of the person who registered the phone number is indicated on the result along with information about where it is registered. One would also know the name of the carrier which the phone number has been registered with. Some reverse phone search would indicate the names of businesses or people near where the phone is registered.

Some telecommunications carrier includes call reverse lookup in their services for a certain fee but other companies do not divulge information about their subscribers to the public. This is where the third party companies online do their part in providing information to the public. There are now several websites that can look up information about about a certain phone number for free but it may not be as reliable as paid services. However, one still has to be cautious when planning to pay for the annual service fee since it the information may also be inconsistent due to the constant update done at the telecommunications part.
