What method can be used to check on the past of someone you are thinking of making a lifelong commitment to? Will the police be able to help you? Not unless you can convince them that you have a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Coming up with such current evidence would be just as much work as revealing the subject's past history. The most convenient tool available today to begin an investigation into the background of your subject is to use a reverse phone lookup service to trace mobile communications he or she may be using.

A reverse cell search gives you the name and address of the person who owns the number. If you do this with your fiance's cell phone number and the name and address revealed do not match with what your fiance has been telling you, then you have evidence that he or she is hiding something. This is something you can give to the police to begin a formal investigation of possible wrong doing.

Reverse phone lookup has been around for a very long time, but it was only available for landline phones. The technology used was not able to trace mobile phones. It was necessary for the police to find a new way to trace them, especially due to their ever increasing numbers.

For a while, algorithms to trace cell phones were not given to detective agencies or private telephone operators. The reason they kept it secret was because of the possibility of it being misused. Although, the pace of the cell phone subscriber base expanded over the last decade, overwhelmed the administrative agencies which also included the police.

Due to increased reports of mischief carried out using mobile phones, the police spent considerable time sorting out complaints that were nothing but figments of imagination of suspicious individuals. After this realization dawned upon the administrative agencies, it became clear that the police should concentrate its efforts to track mobile phones of known criminals only.

Privatization of reverse cell lookup algorithms by the government made it possible for telephone operators and detective agencies to access name and address of mobile phone owners from their cell numbers. This led to a growing number of reverse phone directory vendors providing reverse cell and track phone services.
