What is different about reverse cell phone number lookup in 2010/2011?
You are really going to like the answer to this question as it benefits you and not the phone company. We’ll get to that in a moment.
Assuming you’re already familiar with what a reverse cell phone lookup is, this article will focus on what to look for, what to stay away from when performing a reverse cell phone number lookup, and of course, how to perform a successful search in 2010. , 2011 and beyond.
First, let’s dispel a popular myth: you can’t do a reverse cell phone number lookup for free, anywhere, anytime. Cell phone providers (like Sprint/T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon, all of them) simply have nothing to gain by giving out this information. However, they have no problem selling this information to online reverse lookup companies who, in turn, provide you with the information you need, in exchange for a few dollars.
How to perform your search
You’ll always want to go with what’s known as a “2-step” directory. This is where you enter the website, fill in the cell number in question, and hit enter. This returns general results, such as the state in which the phone number was registered. Next, decide between a one-time search or a 12-month unlimited search. Each service has a reasonable charge. In return, you find out everything you need to know about who’s calling you, your kids, your spouse, or anyone else you care about (including full name and address).
WARNING: Not all reverse cell search directories are created equal
Before choosing a directory, be careful. An alarming majority of online directories provide inaccurate or out-of-date information. They offer money-back guarantees if you’re not satisfied, but due to the small size of these companies, it can be a long and frustrating process. You want to choose a reputable company with a great reputation, that has been in business for a few years.
Ultimately, the big changes this industry has seen in 2010 are two things: anonymity and cost. Due to strict regulations, when you now perform a reverse search, you are guaranteed anonymity: no one will ever know that you performed this search. In previous years, this could not always be said.
Regarding cost, up until around 2009, performing a single reverse cell phone number lookup could cost as much as $45. Due to fierce competition, I’m happy to say that the price has now dropped down to an affordable $10. (on average).
In other words, running a reverse cell lookup in 2010/2011 and beyond is a very cost-effective, convenient, and safe way to find much-needed information, and certainly a small price to pay to find out who’s been calling you. you or your loved ones. one one is.
