Have you ever received a phone call on your cell phone from a phone number you didn’t recognize? Of course, when that happens, it seems like the caller never leaves a message; so now you don’t know who she was. Then your curiosity takes over and you dial the phone number. Then you hit yourself on the forehead, because you can’t believe you just called that vacuum salesman you’ve been avoiding all week.
Well, here you are again, faced with a nameless phone number and no voicemail message. You’re doing your best to ignore the call, but if history is a predictor of the future (and it is!), you’ll be dialing that number at any moment! Will you slap your forehead again? Probably not, because in about a second, you’ll have another tool at your fingertips to help you avoid a potentially painful phone call. It is none other than the reverse lookup website.
There are several of these sites scattered around the web, and they exist exactly for the situation you find yourself in right now. All you have to do is enter the information, in this case the phone number, in the fields on the screen and press search. In the blink of an eye, you’ll know who just made that phone call. Some of these sites charge you a small fee for the information, while others display the public information for free and only charge for the private information.
Now you can dial with confidence and not worry about falling into a sales trap!
