Prank calls are one of the most annoying things in the entire world. If you have received one or two, you probably shook your head and wished that the caller would get a life and stop aggravating people. However, if you have received many, you probably started to get nervous. You may have wondered if this was really a prank caller or if it was someone that meant you harm. If the prank caller threatened you in some way, you probably definitely wondered if the caller meant you harm. It is not a light situation if you are afraid for your family or your children and your safety. This happens to many different people that have had to deal with this.
The trouble is that the police can't do much of anything unless there is a real threatening event that happens outside of the phone calls. This is enough to make you angry on top of feeling threatened. It's frustrating to know the phone number of the person but not the name. However, you can take action yourself and make the calls stop happening. Whether it's an unlisted home phone number or a cell phone number, it is possible to find out the identity of the caller without having the police trace the telephone calls.
Simply visit a website like www.PhoneRegistry.com and enter the phone number of the person that called you. You can get the number from your phone bill or the caller ID. After you enter the phone number, simply wait a few seconds and you will be provided with the name and address of the person who is associated with the phone number. You can even assure yourself that they are not dangerous, or get enough information for the police to act by searching their criminal or arrest records which are also provided. Yes, you can find out if they have ever been charged with a crime, locally or nationally. You can see if it was a misdemeanor or a felony as well.
You do not have to deal with phone calls like this and be helpless. When you search their number at a site like www.PhoneRegistry.com, you can get the truth about who is calling you. Then, either the police can take over, or you can answer the phone with their name and inform them that you have their address and more. Feel free to say it back to them. If you do this, chances are they will not call you back. If they are dangerous or do have a criminal arrest record, you should not answer the calls. Simply inform the police and allow them to do their job. They will consider the calls a priority and a threat if the person has a criminal record. If this is happening to you, don't take it any longer. Do something about it and show that prank caller that they have stumbled upon the wrong person's phone number.

Tracing a Cell Phone Number: The Basics
Tracing a mobile phone number... while it may sound like a difficult and time consuming process, the truth is that it’s actually quite easy to find out information about the owner of a specific phone number- even an unlisted one. It wasn’t very long ago that the tools needed to track down the owner of a cell phone were only available to law enforcement officials and private investigators. But today, with the help of reverse look-up services like www.reversephonecheck.com, anyone can be a PI.
So why would you need to look up the owner of a phone number anyway? At first, it may seem like a service that you’ll never use. But consider the following scenarios:
You rush in the door, arms full of groceries, as you hear the last ring of the phone. Wondering if it could be the potential business client you’ve been waiting on, you rush over to your desk, only to realize that you forgot to clear out your voicemail earlier, and there was no room for anyone to leave a message. Frustrated, you glance down at the number on the caller ID screen…
Your daughter comes home from school angry and upset. She tearfully tells you that she’s been receiving harassing phone calls from boys at school, but she’s not sure who’s behind it. You comfort her, and then immediately call your cellular provider to have her number changed. Afterwards, you decide its time to have a talk with the boys’ parents. Now if you only had their address…
You’ve just started dating someone new, and everything is going wonderfully. The only problem? You don’t know much about them. You’ve never been to their house, and you only call each other via cell phone. Then, a friend lets you know that they work with your new sweetie, and that they were under the impression that he was married…
Suddenly, a service that lets you find someone’s name, address, and other information using only a cell phone number seems a lot more useful, doesn’t it?
