If you've looked around for a way to have a mobile number traced then you surely would have heard about 'online databases' that offer the Reverse Cell Phone Lookup service.
If you want to know what they are and how they work, here's all you need to know.
What is an Online Reverse Cell Phone Lookup database? It is a database of wireless numbers of over 260 million mobile users, accessible online.
As ordinary phone directories don't carry information on mobile numbers because of certain restrictions brought about by privacy laws, these afford the best way to go about doing a search.
What information can such a database provide? --The full name of the user --His/her current/past addresses --Details about family members, marital status, neighbors, average income and more How do you do a search? By simply logging into a database and entering the number that you want looked up.
If the number is listed you can register to get full details.
Is it the only option? You could of course always hire a private-eye to do some detective work for you, but be warned that that is a very costly and time-consuming option.
Ordinary directories that are freely available for public access will not be able to help as cellular numbers are 'unlisted' in them.
Will I get my results immediately? It only takes a couple of minutes for an online directory to provide the results of a search once the number is submitted.
The good thing is that you can do your investigation in private, from even at home and nobody needs to know you did it.
You can search as many numbers as you like too.
