You're sitting their in the middle of the night looking at your phone and you have no idea who just called you.
How many times has that happened to you? It's annoying isn't it? It always drive me nuts.
You don't want to call back, but you really want to know who it was that called you.
You need to trace cell phone numbers.
Way back when, it wasn't so easy to look up names from numbers.
In fact, you couldn't do it at all.
The phone companies saw cell phone numbers the same way they did all unlisted numbers.
They didn't want anyone at all getting their hands on those numbers.
So, there was really no way to create a reverse look up for cell phone numbers.
But, after running into a brick wall one too many times, some smart guys decided to put together their own reverse cell phone databases.
They took a long time to build, but when they were done, they put them online for anyone to use.
So now it couldn't be easier to look up names from numbers, as long as you're using a good reverse look up site.
But how do you know if the site you're using is good or not? Here's an easy trick I learned a long time ago.
Make sure that the site you're using will allow you to try before you buy.
That means that the site should let you put in a number you want to look up and see if they have the name and address of that phone's owner before you spend one nickel on their service.
If they do, you're in good shape.
If not, try somewhere else.
