The Truth About Cellphone Directories
Many people have wondered and still continue to wonder if a reverse cellphone directory really is there. Well the truth is that it is not there.
The reason why there is not a revised cellphone directory is because of the differences in information. The home or land telephone has a domain that is public and this has been the way for many years. This is why your permission is never sought for placing your number in a phone book or telephone directory in fact you may have to pay a certain fee in order to keep your number out of the telephone directory.
With a cellphone directory it is different and more private such that a cellphone is charged for all calls made even to marketers and it is quite difficult to track down a cellphone.
The wireless cellphone directory has been spoken about before with the thought and idea for all mobile phone operators to contribute all their subscriber cellphone numbers and then a cellphone directory would be created, but there were concerns raised over the issue of telemarketers being able to call you and you getting charged for that. Also certain privacy issues were raised and that led to the idea being abandoned for the time being.
However the abandonment of the cellphone directory does not mean that the whole idea is impossible to put together, it really can be put together and be done although putting up all this requires a lot of effort. There is too much effort required for this as the information on cellphone subscribers has to be put together manually from millions of users from all different networks. Now because of the time, cost and amount of work to be done so much there is not a company that is prepared to do it and offer it freely. In addition mobile phone directory companies do have access to the whole database of the information.
