It is indeed sad to learn that  as much as 25% men and 17% women have had at least one extra marital affair in their married lives.
Considering that people try to conceal this type of information as much as possible, the actual rates are expected to be much higher.
Reverse cell phone lookups and cheating spouses Reverse phone searches have become a major way of catching cheating spouses and girl/boy friends.
When people suspect that their loved ones may be cheating on them, they simply go to their cell phones, copy down all the suspicious numbers and find out the owners of those numbers by plugging them into an online service that trace cellular phone numbers.
It's a very straightforward procedure that will give the following information of the phone owner:

1. Name
2. Address with Map
3. Relatives, Neighbors and associates
4. Previous residences and their addresses
5. Other telephone numbers owned by him/her
6. Average income
7. Average house value etc.
   

That's a plethora of information that will be extremely useful to you regardless of why did the reverse telephone number search.
Cheating spouses are not the only reason - pranks calls, missed calls from unknown numbers, and parents checking on their teenage children are other reasons why people may choose a reverse phone lookup Warning! Picking the right service can be tricky! There are dozens of websites out there that 'Guarantee' accurate results.
But some of them have extremely outdated information that you get the previous phone owner's name instead of the current one.
As you know 'old' cell numbers are recycled and given to new subscribers.
This happens because people tend to change their cellular numbers as they get better deals etc.
