A reverse lookup gives users private information on mysterious phone calls. Users are using these databases to find out who their loved ones are calling and who is calling them, background checks on employees, and background checks on annoying telemarketers. The fee for a reverse phone lookup is much smaller then hiring an investigator so many are using this online service to find the information they need.

Even though paid directories are selling private information on cell phone numbers, there is a way to get your information taken out. One can go to these paid directories and pay a small fee in order to have their information removed from the database. Otherwise anyone can perform a reverse phone lookup and find out your personal details from your cell phone number.

A reverse lookup through a reliable paid directory is the only way to find out private details on a cell phone number. Public directories like 411 and the whitepages can only give users information on land line numbers. Directories have paid for the right to give away the private information and users must pay a service fee in order to access the info.
