Are you a landlord who wants to check on a potential tenant, or perhaps a tenant that has not been paying rent and ran off? Are you wondering where your blind date really lives?

The telephone search directories get their information from databases that are not accessible by the search engines. Anytime someone buys a magazine subscription or puts their number anywhere in a database, it can be found in these databases. The system can determine whether it is a cell phone number by the digits that are contained in the number. Cell phones typically use a range of prefixes that identity them as cell phones. Once a match is made with a person's name, the system can determine if it is a landline or cell phone.

Databases are getting better at each passing day. They are constantly changing and being updated. If you can not find a number in there today, chances are real good that you will be able to in the future. If you get obscene calls, or just calls you do not want to hear, or wonder who they are, you now have the capability to find out who these people are.
