Is it worth using a reverse cell phone service on a nuisance phone call?
Written by Author on July 7th, 2009This is a tricky question that nobody can really answer for you, but how badly do you need to know who owns that number?
If you have been receiving nuisance message or calls then you can just report them to your local police station and let them take care of it. If you trust them to pursue it then that should be the matter finished. If you really want to be certain the appropriate action is taken then you need to get in touch with their service provider. The police may not have the power to do anything, but their service provider will take the matter seriously and it could lead to the person making the calls being disconnected.
You will really struggle to phone their service provider though without the use of a reverse cell phone service as without them then I don’t know of any other way of identifying who they are with (unless you phone their voicemail and they haven’t changed their message then sometimes you can tell from that). So the best option is really to use one of these sites and dig up the service provider and the name and address of the person.
Then go to the police and report them and give the name and number, of course you should still go to the phone company too.
Then they can’t escape getting into trouble. Of course they could carry on anyway - but if you know the name of the person you at least have the upperhand and if you let them know you are aware it is them then most people will be too cowardly to carry on when you obviously know it is them.
