Have you ever had this problem? You met someone the other day, you remember their name, but that little piece of paper that they wrote their cell phone number on, well, it is clean, but not legible.

OK, you aren't a total idiot, you remember the name, you think you know where he lives, but you aren't totally sure. You know he is local. After all, the reason you were going to call him was that he was going to help you move in. All you had to do was call when you got the U-Haul pulled up to your place.

So now what? Ah, you will look up his name in the phone book. Here is the problem, you know he is not at home. You need help now. You already called the house and left a message, by the time he gets home, you need to turn the U-Haul back in. What a pain, now you will have another day's rental on the truck!

You Googled his name and you know looking for his mobile number in a phone book you may as well be searching blindfolded! (I saw that picture and just HAD to work it in here somehow).

Then you remember, a great investigation website you had bookmarked on the internet. You check it out and see that the Advanced Phone Search does accomplish this. They have over 200 million mobile phone records in their database. You can do that reverse number search, but what you need is not there. You can search by name and state, or address if you know it! Fill in the information. Hit the enter key - Great! There is a list of names that there are reports on, and one looks just right. The search returns a list of names (the same name as you put in) plus the age, and city. This is easy! So you sign up, get the report, make the call, and you get all moved in!

I really prefer happy endings over tragedies. :)

If you came here backwards and need to know a name by using the phone number - go to my other lens here.
