Doing Background Checks And Looking Up Phone Numbers
Thursday, November 20th, 2008When it comes to doing a reverse number search, you may be wondering if you have to pay for it, or if there are any good free services out there. So far, I have never found a free site that lets you lookup cell, landline and VOIP numbers like paid services do. Free services only ever seem to let you lookup landline numbers, like your normal phone book would. Paid services, however, let you lookup and find results for pretty much any number you enter. The reason for this is simple. Compiling a database of millions of phone numbers is very expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars. It wouldn’t be easy to make something like this and just give it all away for free. However, the good news is that paid services, even though they are extremely expensive to develop, are very affordable to join. Sites like Reverse Phone Detective (the main one) and Phone Number 411 only cost about $25 to do an unlimited number of searches, which is a pretty good deal if you ask me. You may find yourself looking up all kinds of different phone numbers over the space of several months.
If you are looking for a good reverse phone number lookup service to join, I would recommend searching for reviews and seeing what others have to say first. There are in fact several very good, reputable services out there that will let you lookup millions of different phone numbers for a pretty low cost. Most of the phone lookup services out there use clickbank (a major affiliate network), which means you can get a refund no-questions-asked if it doesn’t live up to your expectations.
A phone number find essentially just involves entering a phone number into an online form, and then getting information on the owner of that phone number. What kind of things can you expect to find about the owner of a phone number you enter? Well, typically you’ll be able to find out their name, address, occupation, gender, marital status and more. This is really very useful. If you find out the name of who owns a phone number you enter, then you can do a simple Google search on them to find out more. All of this is 100% legal, and you can do the search anonymously if you wish. And of course, there are several reasons why you might want to lookup someone’s phone number (prank callers and strange missed call number being just a couple).
