Reverse Phone Number Lookup - The Right Way And The Wrong Way

By Kelly F Scott

Almost anyone can go online and get information on who owns a particular phone number that called them, as long as that number is a landline. However, if the number is a cell phone, it is much more difficult to obtain the private ownership details. And nowadays so many people use their cell phone much more than their landline, therefore being able to do a reverse phone number lookup becomes all the more appealing.

Service like InfoUp.com allow you to perform reverse phone number lookup searches on both cell phones and landlines, and all you need is the phone number. Once you enter in the number, the website will tell you if there is a match or not, and then you will be able to buy the full report with the owners name and address, email, and other household members names and information.

None of this information is available on free public databases, because you usually have to get special license to get private information from a cell phone company. You are basically paying the fee in order to access those private databases. When contemplating on whether or not the service is worth paying for, think about the time it reduces - especially when in an emergency situation. Tracking down unlisted phone numbers can become time consuming and monotonous.

The reasons are endless - prank calls, finding a number in your purse, your child's friends, and so on. Families with teenagers can definitely benefit from this service when requesting friends phone numbers. When a teenager tells the parents they are going out with a friend and only have a phone number, this service can track down the physical address of that friend in case of an emergency situation arises.

Finding a reverse phone number lookup service that you can rely on can be a daunting task. Many simply provide you with outdated, inaccurate information. Sites like InfoUp update their information regularly, and also allow you to pay a small membership fee that lets you perform an unlimited amount of lookups for an entire year. This can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
