Free Cell Phone Number Search - Is It Really Free? by Adam Bauthues
There are hundreds of supposedly free cell phone number search tools online, but are they really free? You bet they are free, but not in the way you think.
Here is an all to familiar scenario: A man is receiving a cell phone call from an unknown number once or twice a day and every time he answers it, the same laughing voice is on the other end. These prank calls are getting annoying, but they are so persistent he wonders if there may be more to them. He wants to know who the caller is but how? With a free cell phone number search tool he can solve the mystery.
I use the word "free" carefully though, for although the initial cell phone number search is free, the actual information that you are looking for is not. With most of these free cell phone number search companies, you will be able to enter a cell phone number and be notified of the available information about this number, but the actual information you will need to pay for.
This is how it is with any information service and I have not seen one that works differently. Software companies have been doing this for years and have successfully sold many more units of their software as a result. People pay for results, especially if they know they will receive them ahead of time, and free cell phone number search companies provide those results.
Lets take another look at the scenario I presented above. Our individual is finally tired of all the calls he is getting on his cell phone. He believes that it is just a bored teenager or something, but he wants to know for sure it is not more than that. He can't turn his cell phone off because his kids or his wife might need to reach him in an emergency. He can't just change the cell phone number due to the massive cost and general pain in the neck this process would involve, plus he is not the one doing anything wrong so why should he go through all this trouble? If only he knew who it was on the other line, and by utilizing a free cell phone number search he can know.
He finds an ad online for a free cell phone number search tool and enters the number the annoying calls keep coming from. He has a match! The system tells him that the number in question provided a name, an address, an email address and a criminal record! That is all he is shown. Once again, the free cell phone number search was free, but if our individual wants the information that will be of value to him, he will have to pay for it. In this case our test subject does pay, since the owner of the number in question has a criminal record. This may be more of a problem than our user initially thought.
While many of these free cell phone number search tools make you pay per search, there are many top notch databases that allow unlimited access and searches for a one-time fee. This is almost as good as free, especially if you wish to do some extra "sniffing" around...maybe to see what you can dig up on your children's babysitter, preschool teacher or baseball coach. When it comes to the protection of family and loved ones, information is critical, and the ability to get that information is vitally important.
These free cell phone number search systems are wonderful tools, but they are not all created equal. Many of them are borderline legal if legal at all. It is important to do your research and be smart before you put your own money towards a great tool such as this.
