Reverse Phone Detective is a reverse phone lookup service that offers more information than competitors and claims to be able to provide reverse cell phone information, too. I decided to put them to the test and conduct my own review.
In a previous job, I was required to work with reverse directories to help find people for my employer. Often, we had a phone number on record from someone who had called in to our office, but not the name associated with that phone number.
My job was to use reverse directories that offer a reverse phone lookup in order to find the name that was tied to that phone number. This was back before Google – in fact, back when the only such directories were available in book subscription form. These directories were outdated as quickly as the books arrived at the office. Now, we have the world wide web and a wealth of data at our disposal. The advent of the internet makes reverse phone lookups more accessible and more accurate than ever before.
It is cell phones that pose today’s challenge. While landline phone and address information may be readily available even through a Google search, cell phone records are not widely distributed and doing a reverse cell phone lookup will often get you no information at all through Google or free lookup services.
