A survey done by Nielson Company has revealed that mobile phone users in the US use their cell phones more for text messaging than for calling. That's millions of people texting everyday! While millions are texting, another 50,000 people are trying to do reverse phone lookups everyday on the internet.

Why do people resort to reverse cell phone look ups?

It was mainly to:

* check on a cheating spouse
* catch a prank caller
* check on children to see with whom they were talking to
* identify an unknown number on the caller ID
* avoid calls from prank callers etc.

What is the BEST way to search?

The place to trace your number would be online reverse cell phone lookup directories.

Ordinary directories like the white or yellow pages do not list cell phone numbers due to privacy laws. Hiring a private detective too is a matter that costs you hundreds of dollars and a wait of a couple of weeks. In this case, the best and the easiest thing would be to log into the internet and access an online database.

What makes the reverse cell phone lookups the BEST option?

* All you need is a computer with an internet connection and you can carry out your search from any where, at any time.
* The number of searches you can perform are unlimited
* In addition to the basic info like name, age, address etc. it also provides info on his/her income, contacts etc.
* Search would be complete within a couple of minutes
* Confidentiality is 100% as you do the search yourself

However, NOT all reverse cell phone directories are equally Accurate and Reliable.

Some databases are just too small while some are outdated and therefore inaccurate. You must avoid such databases at any cost.
