This is not search related, but we noted the item and wanted to share it with our two or three readers.

Privacy is a luxury that few can afford in the Internet age that we live in. However, technology allows you to use this fact to your advantage. The days of anonymous prank calls are over, thanks to the new reverse phone service WhoIsThisPhone.com.

KillerStartups reported on this free and convenient reverse-phone search service in the article “WhoIsThisPhone.com Reverse-Phone Search.”

WhoIsThisPhone.com allows anyone to research its extensive phone database and find a phone number and exact geographical location from any caller who may be trying to hide his or her identity.

The description states:

People calling you up in the middle of the night and hanging up without speaking a word, people leaving strange messages into your machine, people who keep on calling and requesting to talk to someone that you have already explained doesn’t live there. WhoIsThisPhone.com is going to assist you in all such scenarios. You’ll get to know who’s behind such calls. And once you know as much, you’ll be able to begin doing what it takes to make them stop.

While the basic site is free, there are marginal charges that can be incremented by having reports generated.
