Reverse Mobile helps track down mystery callers

While caller ID is great for landlines, cell phones don't get such a luxury. Unless the contact is in your phonebook, all you've got is an incoming number to guess who's calling. I often simply type the number into Google to get the answer, but if that's coming up short, you can give Reverse Mobile a try.

The service lets you do a reverse lookup on any number free of charge. If you want some more advanced information such as the caller name, address, and phone carrier, it'll cost you a one-time fee of $30, or you can get an all-you-can eat annual subscription to look up as many numbers as you want for $10 more.

In addition to phone records, the same company does civil records and background checks, both of which aren't nearly as useful on a day-to-day basis.

could be useful for background checks. but it sounds on the expensive side to me.

You're kidding about this, right? The only thing the search did was bring me to a page offering to accept my $29 to tell me more information about the phone number.

It provided a state (hopefully most people are familiar enough with Google to know they can get that free from just slipping in the area code).

These types of "stalk your ex" services have been around f-o-r-e-v-e-r.....

Geesh -- you really need to check this stuff before you rip and run from the press release.

Very disappointing. Yes you can look up a phone number but you have to pay to see if there is actually any information about it.
