Phone Numbers

Every time we make a call it is registered by our phone company and when we receive our phone bill there are listed all the cell phone dialed numbers. The phone companies register only the dialed numbers not also the received ones. What can we do in order to receive besides the phone bill, the list with all our dialed numbers? Very simple. You have to contact the operator from your phone company and tell him your request.

What are the dialed numbers?  Unlike the landline phone, a cell phone call begins at the moment you press the green key. You are charged and registered from that moment. If the person that you try to contact does not answer to the phone, that call will not be charged. Another trick that you should know is that you can redial one of the last 10 dialed numbers, without retyping the number. All you have to do is to press the green key.

You can have the list of your cell phone dialed numbers only if you have a subscription at the phone company. But what happens when you do not have this? How can a person find you or how he can find a cell phone dialed number? Well, there are other ways of finding cell phone dialed numbers. And one of them is offered online by the web sites. They can offer you a service, called reverse lookup that can find you information about a cell phone dialed number. It can reveal the owner’s identity, his address and even his job. This is a more complex service and it’s 10 times better than the one offered by the phone companies. Because they have signed a contract of confidentiality with their customers they con not reveal their identity.

How can we contact somebody who lives/ works abroad? How can we do it, because we need more than his cell phone number? What do you need and where we can find them? In order to call international mobile phone you have to use cell phones dialing codes. Where can you find them? You can access them online. All you have to do is to type what code do you need. A call placed to Spain has the country code 34- terminates on a mobile service if the dialed string of numbers begins with 34-6, regardless of the numbers dialed thereafter. Every country has its own code: for example, Iraq has the country code 964, Belgium has 32 and Austria has 43. This code can be dialed to reach any number from Austria. This country code is used exclusively for Austria.

All cell phone dialed numbers can be found by all of us. Of course, his own cell phone dialed numbers. I can not find someone else’s cell phone numbers without his accept. This would be a violation of his privacy.

In order to speak about this topic we must clarify what we understand by the term celebrity. I must admit that I associate this term with a famous person. But after all what does it mean or better said what does it imply? A definition would be a person that worked hard in order to become famous among common people; a person that is known because of her qualities developed in one or maybe more areas. There are many celebrities and so different in the same time. They are globally known and that implies many security measures. Not everybody can have the cell phone number, for example, of Angelina Jolie. Her phone number is known by her family and close friends, it can not be obtained by fans.

There are all kinds of fans, there are the obsessive ones that can stalk them. There are many cases of important people that were killed by fans: the case of John Lennon who was shot by a fan, who was stalking him for months. That’s why privacy is very important for celebrity and if a celebrity cell phone number is revealed and someone tries to contact him, he will immediately change it and even change the registration name. There are also cases when a celebrity cell phone number is registered online, but even then is very hard to find.

A famous singer, for example, must reveal one of his phone numbers in order to receive contracts. But it isn’t always his phone number, it can also be his manager cell phone number. This cell phone number is known by people only because he wants to receive more contracts and it isn’t the celebrity that speaks with the fans, it’s his assistant or his manager; that depends of how important is that celebrity. If it is about a celebrity globally known is very hard to speak personally with her. His staff takes many security measures in order to offer their celebrity privacy.

Among celebrities there are also celebrities known only in their own country. At first sight we say that such a celebrity doesn’t take so many security measures and it is easier to find out his cell phone number, but it isn’t like that. If we want to find his number we will be put in difficulty. Like all the other stars they want privacy when they are not in front of a camera, they want to be only with their family and friends. In order to be left alone by their fans, their cell phone numbers can not be found. They can be contacted through their assistant or manager.

How far do people go in order to get the cell phone number of their favorite celebrity? There is the case of the teenager that hacked Paris Hilton’s cell phone and listed on the internet all the celebrities cell phone numbers from her phonebook and her nude photos; and this isn’t the only case. People should be able to make the difference between the person and the celebrity and like all of us they want privacy.

Nowadays everybody has at least one cell phone to remain in contact with the people he wants, even it’s about personal or professional life. We all prefer cell phones because they can offer us confidentiality. There aren’t phonebooks where somebody could eventually find out your phone number. You can give your phone number only to the persons whom you want to talk with. Cell phone numbers aren’t public and that’s how should they stay.

Of course, there are cases when some cell phone numbers are public, but there aren’t so many. They are exceptions. For example, when you want to buy or sell something you can make an advert and post your cell phone number on the internet. It is easier for you and for the people that could contact you. But after all, is it in your advantage that your cell phone number to be known by everybody?

There are advantages and disadvantages in making cell phone numbers public. Of course, it would be easier to find out a phone number and contact him. But what happens when a complete stranger finds out your phone number? It can be a demented who can hasste you by calling you at late hours and even scare you. Your attacker can go so far that you can’t even imagine. There are cases when the ones that were verbally attacked have needed  the police help.

Every time a person buys a cell phone he does it because he wants confidentiality and because he is assured by the specialists that his cell phone number can not be revealed to anyone who wants it to find it. Of course, there are special cases when cell phone numbers are made public, but this happens with the owner’s accept. Privacy is a very important word for all of us and we all want to select the persons we talk with and the ones that have our phone number.

There are many cases of cell phone numbers that are public, that are known by all of us. It is the case of the operators from different networks and other services. In this case there are only advantages because the one who calls them can receive from the operator different information and they can solve their problems. I don’t see any inconvenient in letting these cell phone numbers public. They are crucial. It is the only way of contact that we have with the ones that can really help us if we have a problem with our cell phones, network and others.

It’s true, cell phone numbers are not public and that’s how should they stay. They offer us security and we are confident that no lunatic can find our cell phone number and stock us. They offer us privacy, a thing that we all want and sometimes so difficult to achieve. Cell phone numbers should be known only by the persons that we want to know and it should offer us confidentiality.

There are many rumors that all phone numbers will be released to telemarketers. There are several emails that are circling and warning all the cell phone users that all their phone numbers will be released to telemarketers. Is it true? If it is what would this imply? First of all this would mean that any telemarketer would have access to your cell phone number and he could call you when he wants to. He could call you when you are in a meeting, or you have a serious conversation and he could disturb you.

Secondly, if all cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers the phone companies will violate some confidentiality codes. That’s the reason why we all have appealed to the services of a cell phone, because the phone company offers us privacy and we are protected of unwanted calls.

Consumers should not be concerned that their cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers at any time in the near future. There were persons who said that before their cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers they will register them on the DNC Registry.

What is a DNC Registry? Well, there is only one DNC Register and it accepts registrations of both cell phones and landline. You must call from the phone number if you want to register it and if you do it online you must respond to a confirmation email. This will offer them privacy and they will be protected from most telemarketing calls to the cell phone. Because phone numbers will not be released to telemarketers there is no need to register your number.

Contrary to the emails, cell phone numbers will not be released to telemarketers and you will not receive calls from them. Another important thing that must be clarified is that there’s no deadline in register your cell phone number on the Registry. There are rules that prohibit telemarketers to call on cell phone numbers. They can do this, but with the consent of the owner. Without their consent they can not do a thing.

All our landline numbers are known by the telemarketers. They have access to the phonebook were they are stoked. The only landline numbers where they do not have access are the ones who were registered secretly. Don’t tell me that you have never received a call from a telemarketer at your home number. They are disturbing. Do not tell me that you weren’t put to answer to some questions and because you didn’t want to be impolite you answered them. It’s annoying. OK. There are persons who tell them never to call again. But do they listen? No. They continue calling you every time they want. You have the choice not to answer the call but this won’t stop here.

Imagine what would happen if all cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers! It will be the same process. You will receive calls to buy different things or to answer to different questions. All you have to do is not answer them. But this won’t work every time you will receive a telemarketer call.

Everybody has a cell phone nowadays. When we buy a cell phone there are stocked information like: name, address and cell phone numbers in the database of a phone company. But what happens if we want to have access to this information? Is it even possible? Well, it isn’t. Every phone company signs a confidentiality contract with their customers and they can not violate their own codes. If we can not have access to the database of a phone company, where can we go and find out the information we need? Who could help us find an address and cell phone numbers?

We all have long lost loves, friends or relatives whom we haven’t seen for a long time. We have lost their contact, their address or their cell phone numbers. Who can help us if the phone company refuses our access to their database? Well, we can hire a private detective that can offer us this information. Private detectives have access to databases we can`t reach and it is much easier for them to find an address or cell phone numbers. We can appeal to the services of a private detective but they charge us. Nothing is free. You have to pay if you want the information.

If you don’t have money or you just don`t want to be charged for that kind of information, there are other ways of finding what you want and you can do it by yourself, without someone’s help. All you have to do is to have access to the Internet and type on Google what do you what to find out. You may be lucky and Google will offer you the information you need. But there are cases when Google can’t help you. The information you need may not be posted on Google. What other solution do you have? Are there other solutions to find someone’s address and cell phone number?

Yes, there are. There are web sites that can offer you a service called reverse lookup. What can you do with cell phone number lookup software? By using this software you are able to know who just called, find people and even lookup addresses. This is an effective solution and everyone has access to it. All you have to do is to type the name and you will find out his cell phone number and even his address. These services are offered by some web sites free and others charge you if you want the information. If you want a web site free read carefully the instructions and if you haven’t found such a web site, keep looking. Eventually, you will find such a web site.

All the addresses and cell phone numbers of a customer of a cell phone company are stocked in a database. If you are a normal person, if you do not work for that cell phone company, there’s no way you’ll have access to their database. Probably if it’s about a stalker you can contact the operator to offer his address and his cell phone number.
