Have you ever wished that you could check out someone s phone number to see if it s genuine without anyone knowing? Well now you can. The Internet has provided you with the means to search for people using just a phone number and you can do it whenever you want to and as many times as you want to.
Have you ever been out on a date and come away with a phone number but you aren t quite sure that the number really is hers. Does she like you and genuinely want to see you again or did she make up a number just to get rid of you?
I ve known some people give out numbers to the local radio station instead of their own number. It might be the number of the phone in agony aunt spot on the radio which could get very embarrassing especially if you found yourself live on air. Some radio stations even give out a special number for you to give to people to catch them out this way.
So how do you look up someone s cell phone number before you embarrass yourself by calling a bogus number?
How to avoid the embarrassment
If you ve just met someone new who you like and want to see more of them then you will want to find out if she feels the same way about you as soon as possible. You have the cell phone number that she gave you but you don t know if it s her s or not.
You could simply call it and see who answers but if you do this too early then you run the risk of looking a bit pushy. Assuming that the number was good of course.
You could wait for a respectful time before you attempt to make contact but if the cell number is bogus then you are just setting yourself up for a fall. It would be much better to check it out sooner rather than later.
How to find someone by cell phone number might be easier than you think
Until recently It hasn t been easy to look someone up using their phone number because telephone directories traditionally haven t been organized that way. You could find someone s number easily if you knew their full name but it s not so simple to go the other way.
It s much harder than that with cell phone numbers because there isn t even the equivalent to the phone book to look up. So what do you do?
The Internet is your friend. Web sites called Reverse Phone Directories have been busy collecting information about cell phone numbers and their owners for years and while you can t guarantee to find every number in such a directory, new numbers are being added all the time.
Reverse Telephone directories search out cell phone and land line information from many sources of publicly available information. They collect all this information and put it into a database so that you can access it with ease.
Such power used to be for law enforcement only
Public records are used routinely be law enforcement agencies and now you have access to much of it too. Something that would have been impossible just a few years ago. Not only can you use this information to find out if you have a good phone number but you can do a background check on your girlfriend or boyfriend as well.
