In front of a bedazzled New York crowd, Mr. Cooper made history in 1973 when he initiated the very first cell phone call to a rival at AT&T. Working for Motorola, Mr. Cooper launched an event that would become the corner stone of today’s society.
Not much later, in 1990, the customer base of the cell phone industry had already grown to a staggering one million members following the introduction of a second generation 16 ounce cell phone, seven years earlier.
The cell phone customer base today is larger than that for ordinary land phones, and with cell phones now weighing in at around 3 ounce, the cell phone is very much part of our daily life.
From the age of 6 years old and over, every member of today’s families now own their very own cell phones. This is a technology that has truly swept through our world.
Unfortunately, cell phone records are not part and parcel of the public records psyche and thus are often used by unsavory characters such as online predators who through the internet try to lure our unsuspecting kids into giving them their cell phone numbers.
Reading through the daily press, it is not uncommon to read stories of kids who have been the victims of online predators and parents throughout the world are understandably worried. Of course every steps should be taken to prevent kids from being contacted in the first place, but once you realize your kid is indeed spending time talking to an adult on his/her cell phone, now is a very little window of opportunity to actually do something about it.
But cell companies do not willingly give out information which they consider private, and it can indeed be very difficult for anyone to be traced back using a cell phone number. What can parents do then?
Well, plenty actually. It is possible to trace back the name and address of anyone who calls a cell phone by doing a reverse cell phone search and even though this is not a free service, at $14.95, it is unlikely to break the bank.
