If you’ve ever had an odd phone number on your cell phone, phone bill,
or Called I.D. and would like to find out who owns it, the quickest and most efficient way to do it is by using
a Reverse Phone Lookup Directory. Its easy to track down the name and address of almost anyone in no time, with minimal effort.
You see, the name and address behind every phone number is stored on databases now easily accessible
through the internet… and it’s perfectly legal to access this information.
The only difficult part to getting this information
is finding a reputable reverse phone directory.
I say "reputable" because sadly there really are just few reverse phone lookup directories
on the internet that actually contain complete and accurate information. Many of the "others" will only give you information
such as the location of the area code or in some cases... the wrong information all
together. Not good!
We know this as we have made it our priority to protect the consumer from wasting time and effort
and most of all money from services that fail to deliver what they promise thus creating complete and accurate results.
Evaluation
We found 40 phone services in all and endlessly tested 100 commercial, residential, cell and unlisted
phone numbers.
This was the only way we could be sure were bringing you the absolute best on the entire internet.
(It's a bold statement, but if you knew full depth of our research you'd understand. We don't reveal all our methods due to
the fact that some reverse phone service may actually tweak their systems just to pass our test.)
The Shocking Results
Not surprisingly, we found that most of the services we tested simply did not provide us with
the information that they claimed they would.
The majority of the services gave us little more than the name itself… with some providing
only a last name and a list of “possible” first names. These names were often paired with an address that was
outdated or incorrect, if that information came up at all.
With claims of being able to provide us with full name, address or company of the individual we
looked up, we were sad to see that in most cases after all was said and done, we could have found the same information in
the local phone book!
Although most of the services we reviewed fell short of our expectations, we did manage to find
a few programs that truly stood out from the crowd. These gave us nearly all the information we were looking for... the full
correct name and address of almost all individuals tested on.
