iPhone Insurance: Are there any free cellular lookups portals ?
I’m looking for a free online reverse search portal. Where should I go?
There are a number of free places that you can consult when you’re searching for a free reverse phone directory. One of the first places that comes to mind is the local 411 or yellow pages.
How reliable are those directories in terms of the information that they provide?
The common flaw that these services share is the fact that you cannot look up cellular and unlisted phone numbers. We cannot expect much from a free “charity” service like that. So if you’re looking up a mobile telephone number or a de-listed number you will most certainly not find it there. There are better alternatives which are described below.
Landline telephone numbers are all over the place, they’re as easy as uzor polosa
Land lines can be looked up and stored by anyone, otherwise we wouldn’t have phone books in every other phone booth. Due to illegal telemarketing practices the telephone numbers have become a little bit harder to come by, but not by much.
Why are the de-listed and cellular numbers so hard to track?
The main reason for that is the level of effort that it takes to assemble the telephone numbers since they are not found in the main phone registrar (namely the cellular and the unlisted numbers). The main registrar doesn’t have the cell phones for several one or more reasons listed below.
Privacy concerns
If someone calls you on a landline and starts pitching you a product you might be mad because the person on the other line is taking up your time, but if that someone calls you on a cell phone and does the same you might end up paying for the phone call on a per minute basis. It would be normal if you wanted to find out who gave away your telephone number to the pesky telemarketers and if you discovered that it was your phone carrier then you might ask them to pick up the bill, which they would not want to do.
SMS spam
Bulk SMS messages are an every day annoyance in several big Asian countries. Since many carriers make you pay for SMS messages even if you’re on the receiving end, SBMS might hurt you financially as well as mentally.
Where to go to find a record on a cell phone number?
If you search hard you will be able to find 2 or 3 companies that offer high quality reverse cell phone look ups. When you get to their site make sure to perform a sample look up to see if the phone number that interests you can be found in the database.
