The web is such an intricate, vibrant and advanced (some would say) “animal.” But, through the intelligent use of our personal PCs and Macs, we can accomplish so much from our living rooms.

From acquiring endless data on any topic, to tracing people we have lost touch with long ago. So many things we used to do without a second thought, we would dread doing now days after being exposed to the Internet. Our computers have made it all so convenient.

We shop at home, we bank at home, we order food online, we read online, and we even send letters electronically. There’s not even a reason to pick up the phone if you have Instant Messenger. We live in a world made simple by computers and cyberspace. But, just how much of our information is floating around on the internet?

Some suggest they only used peer-to-peer (P2P) clients because they were safer. However, the following video blows away that whole idea by showing how easy it is to waltz right on into someone’s Shareaza client.

To take matters further, about a year ago, I wanted to get in touch with a buddy from college.

I hadn’t seen him for more than few years (not wanting to reveal my age!), and apparently lost his email address. That’s always a bummer. No worries.

Anyone can resort to tracing people on their personal computer. Some websites even offer a free search option at first. I took full advantage of this. I was able to locate his most current address. Now, just to be clear, this process can be a bit tedious if your subject has a very common name such as Brian Smith. Many of these will pop up. If you know their middle initial, use it.

Anyway, this process of tracing people on the web proved handy and effective for me. This got me to thinking. How easy can we all find out so much about one another? This is a down-side to the Internet. I don’t know that I want everyone having so much access. Anyone with a computer and Internet access can find me, as long as they have my first and last name.

You can even purchase online services that will really help you with this process. From reverse addresses, to social security numbers, to current phone numbers; it all can be found. So how safe are we from the criminals of the world?

I won’t dispute that tracing people online is convenient and sometimes a helpful service. But, take a look at most sites you visit. They’re tracing cell phones all the time. That’s why ads pertaining to your current location constantly pop up. They have your IP address. Yes indeed, the Internet is helpful, but it’s also harmful in ways. Surf with caution!

Off the “top of your head,” do you think it’s possible to effectively run a reverse lookup phone search these days? I ask because I received a call the other day from an elderly gentleman wondering if I could help him conduct such a search. Like many others, he had become frustrated with certain services which had promised to help, but eventually left him “high and dry.” Now, I realize such problems happen, perhaps frequently, with cell phone directories . . . but have we as a society become so concerned with personal privacy that we’ve prevented business associates from conducting real, live reverse lookup phone search?

I won’t reveal the gentleman’s name, but suffice it to say, he had a legitimate need for information. He was preparing to go to court and needed information regarding a previous business associate who had dropped one phone number and picked up another. His case was complicated by the fact that he’d been tracing cell phone numbers. The gentleman who called me wanted his associate’s more recent cellular number, a task which proved difficult. Usually in this case, a lot of people just decide to end their searches because they’re faced with too many dead ends; going the traditional route can be even more discouraging.

To access some business phone numbers, you have to call different offices, and either wait in very long lines or have your call placed on hold until you can get qued into a company’s computerized answering service. In large companies, or if your colleague works for a government agency, or if you need information about several different colleagues, you could be waiting for extended periods of time (days or weeks) to get everything you need. When your colleague has changed, and you’re in the position of trying to conduct a reverse lookup phone search, the problem is multiplied because there’s generally no way to determine what their new cell phone number might be.

That in mind, I told the gentleman I didn’t think I could help him, until I thought about it… Look at it this way, I explained, if he’d be satisfied with doing a reverse lookup phone search, I had an idea for him!

Enter: The All-American Reverse Lookup Phone Search

It’s not that the concept of a “reverse lookup phone search” is so awkward or ill-fitting that no one uses it for very much. They do. Indeed, several companies facilitate these searches. Connecting with a colleague’s business phone rather than her/ his cell phone might make a difference, depending on the intended confidentiality of the conversation, but it would certainly appear that there’s a time and place for both. And especially, if you need to conduct business, being able to do a reverse lookup phone search makes a lot of sense.

I can’t say that these services are free, because they are not free. But, a quality reverse lookup phone serch can provide you with a telephone number, even if that phone number is currently unlisted and not in the local phone book.

These services naturally have to pay for access to some of their information, and go through considerable trouble of pulling disparate database resources together. So, as a result, you will be charged a small fee before you can access their business databases. However, the fee is a one-off payment and you can run as many searches as you like once you have access. The records they offer include address history, carrier details, and the phone connection status. The databases include numbers to cell phones plus residential, business, toll-free, even pagers…

Then, if you decide against contacting your colleague after you have conducted your own reverse lookup phone search, no one would be the wiser. Unlike some sites, your business friend/ colleague will have no knowledge that you or anyone else was looking closely at their records. These services are discrete and private, so you can be assured that no one but you will ever know you conducted a serch.

Trying to connect with someone from your past does not need to be an arduous task. Use them to get all the answers you need instantly, without having to leave the comfort and privacy of your own home or office.

In conclusion, the answer is no, free reverse lookup phone search services do not currently exist. But, if you really need to access such records, then I believe paying a small fee to trace a business colleague is a price worth paying. You may not have noticed, but we offer access to such services from this site. Take a look at the top-right corner of this page and you’ll see a section where you can conduct a reverse lookup phone serch, and it works just fine!

That way, we can see ourselves slipping into a cell reverse number service that’s more comfortable.

The same is probably true of just about any new online service involving cell phones, which naturally includes reverse cell phone lookup services. Reverse cell phone lookup enables us to look up just about any cell phone or regular number and discover who owns it.
