I had a comment that someone tried to publish and they asked a question but since the user tried to enter an anchor text link back for their name instead of a legitimate name I didn't publish it.

The question was:

What type of report do you provide here? I have a site that does the same thing and my site runs about 93% correct if you base results on refunds. Do you provide refunds for people if they are not satisfied?

My Answer is:

While there are many sites that offer reverse phone lookup services, there is no cell phone directory. So if you include refunds in your base results that means 7% of your customers are paying for nothing. I visited the site you promote and found that it is just an affiliate site for phone detective. Nothing special.

I've been in the data industry for over a decade and have seen countless affiliates come and go. The only way to really test a service is by requesting information on an invalid or known number.

For example: Running the phone number 555-234-5678 tells a lot. While your site shows nothing as shown here http://bit.ly/ijPgTA a good reverse phone lookup will tell a story.

While SearchBug.com is over 99% successful finding accurate names from landlines most sites fall below our 30% - 40% success for cel phones.

That's where hiring a professional investigator to conduct a verified reverse cell search comes in handy.

With all of the telemarketers and scams going this day, nobody wants to answer their phone blindly. But yet everybody wants to know who called them..hence the reason for googling phone look up or buying services.

True that these reverse lookup number services are a mish-mash of databases, but the most reliable ones are accurate, and give you information that you would otherwise have to dig around quite a bit. I guess people pay for them to save a whole bunch of time. I've reviewed the 2 best services on http://www.lookup-numbers.com

I'm not sure what law you are quoting when you say ["It is illegal for anyone who is not an FBI agent and/or Law Enforcement Officer, etc. to obtain private records such as these, and even then they must show cause."]. Our investigators do not conduct any illegal searches. Everything they do is 100% legal.

We are unaware of any law that prevents someone from obtaining the name and address associated with a cell phone number as of this date.

It is illegal to obtain cell phone records (like incoming and outgoing calls). But a reverse cell phone lookup does not offer that information. This is simply a search to see if the investigtor can locate a name and address associated with the phone number you have. If you are unsure about what you need or want to discuss your particular case please feel free to call us during support phone hours as posted on our contact us page.

Alright. I can not search for the information and receive accurate results without being charged. It is illegal for anyone who is not an FBI agent and/or Law Enforcement Officer, etc. to obtain private records such as these, and even then they must show cause. Out of curiosity, what method are you currently using to provide us this information?

There are very few if any free reverse cell phone search options. Most of the online resources that advertise free reverse cell phone lookup searches really just try to sell you access to a multitude of databases.

Some of these cell phone databases claim to be a cell phone directory but in reality are probably not updated on a regular basis and are just a bunch of cell phone numbers obtained from various resources.

Basically you get what you pay for so if it's free, it is probably not going to be very current.

You can try www.a1peoplesearch.com which offers a very inexpensive reverse cell phone search from an online database or if you want guaranteed accurate information, you can hire a professional investigator using our reverse cell phone search from www.bestpeoplesearch.com.
