Free Reverse Phone Lookup on the Internet

By Shedi Alisino

There are many people who are amazed by the newest techology sweeping the internet, reverse phone lookups. Actually, you have been able to do a reverse phone number lookup for quite some time. There are many phone books in cities that even have all the numbers in their database, listed in numerical order, so you can find the number and see who the number belongs to. The important change is that you can now even find a number that has been unlisted or is currently unlisted. You can also for the most part find cell phone numbers, and we all know how difficult that can be.

The possibilities of this new technology are endless. We are going to discuss how this all works in detail later. Landlords can do a number search to see if potential tenants are telling the truth about there previous domicile, the same works for potential dates. Think your blind date is lying about where they live? Do a reverse number lookup, it is easy as logging on to your favorite website, entering the details and getting the information. Many people are amazed that it actually works. It is true that you can type the number you are interested into your favorite search engine and probably find what you are looking for. You will not, however, find the details you need typically.

Most people know that most information on a number is not typically stored in a search engine. They are stored in special databases that the search engines do not crawl or have access to. It is not uncommond to pay a small fee to access these databases. I know you are wondering how these companies get the information that is stored in their systems? Have you ever entered you phone number (whether is was unlisted or a cell phone) into any form or website? Have you ever signed up for anything, whether it be a magazine or a chance to win a prize? Chances are real good that you have entered your number into some kind of database.

The databases that contain the numbers are constantly changing and being updated. Now that you know that they work and understand what is going on, you may feel more comfortable in using one. If you get a lot of harrassing calls, do not put up with it. Do your homework, there is power in knowledge, make sure you get yours. - 16039
