Do you know private investigators and law enforcement agencies use reverse call look ups? It is an easy less expensive way to do a quick background check on someone without them knowing. Is your new boyfriend being completely honest with you? Run his number through a reverse call search and check him out. He will never know.

Armed with just a phone number you can find out where the person really lives, their full name, phone service provider address history and depending on what service you use you can check out their court records, marital records, work history, and a lot more. You can really dig up some dirt on people.

Since all searches are discreet I like to run a persons phone number and see what I can come up with. Let's say you just met someone and started dating you can find out if they are telling you the truth about their background or if they are a compulsive liar. Over the years I have caught more that a few people this way. Confront them with your new found info and watch their face turn red and try to talk their way out of it.

So they are really living with someone, It is not their house and besides that they are still married. Better to find out this info in the beginning of a relationship before you waste too much time. A reverse phone search is a lot cheaper and faster than doing a full background check on someone. Most reverse call memberships have a yearly membership so you can use the service for an entire year. You will be surprised at the number of time you will use it.

These days most people have cell phones instead of a regular landline telephone so they are harder to trace since they are not listed in the phone book. This is where a good reverse call look up comes in handy. Cell phones and all the persons personal info is entered into the national data base as soon as a cell phone is purchased.

There are free reverse phone search sites, actually a lot of them, but I found them to be pretty worthless. You might get back the persons state or town if you are lucky. They use an outdated public domain data base that anyone has access to. The paid directories spend a good amount of money to stay updated. This is why they need to charge fee to help cover their costs and pay their employees. You know the saying, you get what you pay for.

You can also search out prank calls, unknown or unlisted numbers, 800 numbers and even pay phones. Want to find out who your husband has been calling on his cell phone during the day while he is at work? If you suspect anything get his recent call history off of his cell phone and do some reverse call searches. Find out who he has been talking to. Should make some interesting dinner conversation.
