Have you also been through phone calls coming at most inappropriate time. It always happens; I sit down to eat with my family and someone calls me. We have a basic rule that the phone is never answered during meal time, however once we have finished eating there is nothing wrong with checking caller ID to see who called while we were eating. There hardly ever seems to be any messages, regardless of how many calls have been received.

In the past, I used to simply walk away and leave it alone seeing the same numbers each and every day. Very few times when I call back I get someone I’d like to talk to, but other times I don’t. Sometimes I get computer noises or reach someone in India.

My son said I should find out who was calling by doing a reverse phone look-up. Not even a single thought about it came into my mind ,it sounds like a Law & Order thing. Indeed, after I did an online search for “reverse phone lookup”, I was able to find exactly what I needed.

I wanted to locate the number of an irksome telematketer, so I checked a reverse directory on the web. I found that by being nice to them when I called them back and asked to be removed from their call list worked better than my yelling at them did.

Additionally, I utilized the service to phone a friends back that called without leaving messages. I was glad that I could talk to them, but now I’m wondering how many important calls that I missed.

I used the reverse phone number search so often that I bookmarked it on my browser.

If you take time to watch the Reverse Phone Detective video it will reveal some cool things. There were a ton of other features beside the simple reverse phone number lookup — some stuff that really sounded like detective tools:

* Stop annoying telemarketers
* Find prank callers
* Research numbers that pop up on your phone bill
* Find someone’s address with their phone number
* Research missed calls on your caller ID that you don’t recognize
* Use old numbers to find old friends
* Reverse cell phone lookup and landline lookup

Aside from the number lookup, there were lots of other features, including some that seemed like real detective tools; I could imagine it being put to good use checking up on your kids or your spouse’s activities. Although I utilized it just to find a few buddies and show a piece of my mind to telemarketers, that was plenty for me.

The service is legal because the information that is used is all from public records. One way you can help your privacy is by using the Reverse Phone Detective. The service allows you to “opt-out” of the internet’s phone directory.
