When we use new technologies and services, very often we worry about their cost. It has become sort of a law that each new service is very expensive, and some of us just refuse to use it until the cost goes down.

The same thing can be said of almost any new service involving cell phones, which naturally includes reverse cell phone lookup service. Reverse cell phone lookup enables us to look up just about any cell phone or regular number and discover who owns it.

So how much should you as a consumer pay for such a service?

Well if you do not need reverse cell phone lookup then naturally you should pay $0. But remember that the cost of anything that is for sale is not determined by its real value but rather on how much are people willing to pay for it.

However, try and compare reverse cell phone lookup with its much older sister, the standard directory assistance service. Today a call to the directory assistance is so low cost that we do not even notice it on our monthly phone bills. It was not always so, as little as 15 years ago such a call would be much more expensive.

However, with the reduction in prices, these days very few of us bothers using the old phone books anymore (I buy them each year just because of Yellow pages). Directory service is cheap (just a few cents per call), fast and saves you from the sometimes long and difficult phone book search. In addition, the internet phone number search is free and also very fast. So compared with these two services how much should we pay for reverse cell phone lookup?

The answer to these questions is that usually obtaining the information you need by using the cell phone number should be free or at least very cheap. Nevertheless, sometimes just as with regular phone number request, you can experience difficulties finding it. Many cell phone numbers just as well as regular landline phones are unlisted.

There is no way that you can just lookup these numbers and get the info you need. Pay service however, can in some cases discover the unlisted numbers for by using reverse cell phone lookup. Consider them your own private detective, only much cheaper. In most cases, this will require deep investigation, and that costs money. Anything not easily obtainable costs money.

In most cases, it is not worth it to track down the caller, unless you believe that an owner of that phone can be in some kind of a danger. You should report threatening and similar kind of calls to your local authorities, they have other, much better ways to track down these kinds of calls.

So finally, if you are a regular phone user, low cost or even free reverse cell phone lookup can provide useful information. Especially if you are a parent and you want to know who is calling your kid. For just a few bucks, you can check it up and keep your family safe.
