I think we have all at one point in time, had to deal with a prank call. Not only is this annoying, but it can also be some what scary. Until a couple years ago you would have had to hire a private investigator to find out who the phone number belonged to. Thankfully with reverse telephone lookups, you can now find out without ever leaving your home.
About 5 years ago, if you wanted to put a name to a phone number, all you had to do was call the operator. If the number was not private, they would be able to tell you all the information you wanted. Now with the privacy laws this information is not so easily accessible anymore.
Thankfully someone has gone to all the landline and cellular phone companies and created one large data base. Now if you need to know who is behind a phone number all you have to do is type the phone number into the search box and hit search.
In about 10 seconds you will be given not only the name of the person the phone number belongs to but also the address, cellular provider and phone status.
Because this service is 100% confidential, it is a great way to make sure your spouse is not cheating on you, find out who your teenagers are talking to, find out who is prank calling your or to locate where an old friend lives you may have lost contact with.
Beware of the sites that claim to be free however. They just tell you they are free to get you on their site. No matter what the claim, they will always ask you to pay a fee before being shown the information you requested.
They have various plans you can choose from and are actually pretty cheap. You can pick a one time search or you can get an unlimited amount of searches per day.
