Reverse Cell Phone – Information at your finger tips

by Jacques S Eskena

The first cell phone conversation took place in 1973 when Mr. Cooper of Motorola called a rival at AT&T in a very public marketing stunt which took place in a street in New York in front of an unbelieving New York crowd.

Ten years later, Motorola introduced its second generation of cell phone, which at 16 ounce was half the weight of its predecessor. Seven years later, one million Americans were cell phone users.

With more cell phone subscribers today than the “old” land line telephones, the cell phone phenomena has impacted our society and we now have units that weigh in at less than 3 ounces!

From the age of 6 years old and over, every member of today’s families now own their very own cell phones. This is a technology that has truly swept through our world.

Whilst the advantages of giving a cell phone to our younger kids are obvious, it should not be forgotten that there is an element of risk in that predators they meet online might indeed try to call them on their cell phone in order to get to know them better and possibly meet them in person!

Media reports of dire consequences for kids who eventually meet these people unfortunately abound and parents all over the land are understandably concerned and eager to do what they can to prevent this from happening in the first place, and at the very least report these people by calling the police or FBI if it does.

The bad news is that cell phone records are not public information and as such, it is extremely difficult to obtain the name and address of the unauthorized person who is actually calling our kids. What can we do then?

The good news is that once you know which service or website you can confidently access, this information need not cost you an arm and a leg. Indeed you can do a reverse cell phone search for all of $14.95 which barely covers the cost of a movie and pop corn if your kid comes to you for pocket money.
