Are you often bothered by calls from numbers that aren’t saved in your contacts list? Or when you come home from work and notice names and numbers on your landline’s caller ID and you have no idea who they are or why they called.

Could it have been an important call? Maybe it was a job or business opportunity that you’ve been waiting on for so long. Or maybe it was someone who I rightfully ignored. Like telemarketers who will talk non-stop trying to sell you something that you will never need. Or worse. It could have been a call from a fraudster trying to pry your private information and scam you out of your hard-earned money.

Whatever the reason, if you are anything like me, then you are left with nothing but a number, scratching your head thinking whether you should hit that call back button or not. This debate can linger on your mind for hours, making you lose focus on the task at hand and render you unproductive for long periods.

Don’t you wish you could instantly know who your mystery callers are? Lucky for us, we are now living in the digital information age where almost all data you need to know can be made available to you with just a few taps and swipes. And the internet has just the thing for us — Reverse Phone Lookups.

What Is A Reverse Phone Lookup?

A reverse phone number look-up is a search engine system that allows you to gather information on a person just from a simple phone number. At its simplest, it can help you get a name and even the address of the number that called you.

Why do I need to Reverse Search a Phone Number?

Aside from the simple reason of finding out the name of your caller, there are other reasons why you might need to use a reverse phone search.

  1. To find out the names of Pranksters

We’ve all answered unknown calls at least once in our lives. Maybe there was a time you were expecting an important call so you needed to answer an unknown number — only to find out that it was a prank call. Harmless jokesters that have too much time and call credits to know what to do with them other than to annoy you.

A quick reverse phone number search will get you the information you need to fire back at these pranksters. You can call him back and tell him that you now know who he is and where he lives and that you will give this information to the authorities if he ever bothers you again.

2. To Avoid Scam Callers

This is probably the biggest reason why we don’t take calls from numbers we don’t recognize. There are a lot of different types of scam callers and it’s always best not to answer their calls. From telemarketers who will say anything to make a sale, to dangerous fraudsters who can steal or identity and hack into your finances.

3. To Get More Information

Know more about potential employees before you hire them. Make sure that they have no records that can be detrimental to your business like arrest records, mugshots, or gun licenses. Do the same for babysitters, housekeepers, and the like, before you let them into your homes.

4. Keep Your Child Safe

If your child approaches you and tells you that they have been receiving inappropriate messages and they have no idea who is sending them? Immediately run the number on a reverse telephone lookup service and give the information you retrieve to the proper authorities before things get out of hand.

How does a Reverse Phone Number Search Work?

Reverse phone number apps and programs like Kiwi Searches collect millions of publicly available information and streamline it into an easy-to-use service for the everyday person. The information they have stored on their secure servers is obtained legally from data brokers, mobile phone service providers, public information, and several of their proprietary sources. Think of it as a special search engine specifically developed for people and all the information connected to them.

Typical search results of phone number lookups will give you names, addresses, both current and previous, and emails and social media accounts. And it can also provide so much more. Information on arrests records, mugshots, gun licenses, liens, and even aliases and accomplices will be made available to you. Imagine all the time and effort you would spend if you were to individually search for all this information.

This is the beauty of reverse phone lookup programs like Kiwi. All you need to do is key in the phone number in the search bar and it will do all the work for you! In an instant, you will get all the info you need and more.

Why Should I Use Kiwi Searches?

While there are free people finder apps out there, the services offered by Kiwi greatly outweigh its cost. Free apps give you limited information and nowhere near the amount of data you can gather from Kiwi.

The people behind Kiwi believe that reliable information should be made available to everyday people. It has to be available quickly and completely, at any time it is needed. The information is out there even without Kiwis. The problem is how you can access it in the cheapest, quickest, and easiest way possible.

Think of the team over at Kiwi as a personal support group for us, our significant others, and the rest of our loved ones. Their goal is to provide us peace of mind in all our interactions with other people, both physically and digitally. And providing the right information, along with granting easy access to that data, puts us on the fast track towards achieving that goal.
