Reverse Phone Lookups and Criminal Background Checks - Not Free

It is just an advertising gimmick, include the word "free" in your ad to hook and reel in potential paying customers. The only information you are likely to get for free is just the city and state of the phone number or person you are interested in.

So, how much it will cost for professional result? For a one-time use of a cell or land line reverse lookup it can cost you up to $15. Or you can lookup unlimited phone numbers for a fee of about $40. And don't be fooled by the 99 cent offers, they usually include an automatic subscription in the fine print. Are these $15 to $40 prices reasonable? I certainly believe they are. All you have to do is enter any phone number (cell or land line) and you immediately get at the very minimum the name and address of the phone's owner. There are also email reverse directories, a great way to beat Internet anonymity.

Dependable reverse phone directories are maintained by private companies because there are so many cell and land line carriers around today. It takes a lot of time and effort and negotiating with all these phone carriers to combine all their listings into one place. So of course you will have to pay a fee.

In addition to these reverse lookups, people are now able to get instant criminal background checks on anyone from the privacy of their home computer with just a click of a button. Criminal records are a matter of public record but in the past in order for anyone to obtain one they would have to make a personal visit to the respective courthouse and make a formal request in writing. Like the reverse directories, private companies have now collected all this information on a national level and have allowed access by everyone for a small fee. Most people are interested in criminal background checks out of a desire to protect their loved ones from all the people in their lives who we know very little about.

One piece of advice for the first time user of these online services. Once a person uses them, most are very impressed and satisfied with completeness and accuracy of the results. Rarely will people use these services only once and never return. Most will remember the convenience and usefulness of the information they obtained with just a click of a button and will always return for another search. So it is strongly suggested that you take advantage of the unlimited use fees, they are well worth the price of just $30 to $40.
