Free Reverse Cell Phone Directory-Does One Exist Online?

Do you need to find someone and all you have is a cellular phone number? If you're like many people, the first place you turn is probably the internet.

Everyday thousands of people visit Google.com and other search engines to try and find the official cell phone directory to conduct a reverse search.

I've got bad news. It doesn't exist!

That's certainly not to say you can't find a cell phone number using Google.com and other search engines. If you simply type the cell phone number into the search bar, you'd be amazed how many times you can find the owner in the regular search results. Unfortunately, most people don't try this method first.

Although there's not an official cell phone directory available on the internet yet, there are several volunteer cell phone directories popping up and gaining popularity. These sites allow you to opt-in your cell phone number and then you have the right to search for other cell phone numbers.

They promise not to let your cell number get into the hands of telemarketers and some of them notify you when anyone searches for your phone number.

Below are a few of these websites that you might:

  • cellphonedirectory.com: This is one site that's really gaining steam. You can search or submit your cell phone number to their database for free. It's a volunteer site and you can edit or remove your listing at anytime.
  • nationalcellulardirectory.com: This is another free cell phone number directory. You can search for a person's cell number or conduct a reverse cell phone number search only after you have added your own phone number to their database.
  • free-reverse-cell-phone-directory.com: This is another free reverse mobile phone directory. You can also add your number here, but it's not required to search for cell numbers.
There are a few more independent cell phone directories popping up on the internet all the time. Currently, the mobile phone carriers endorse none of them. That may be changing soon. All of the major cell phone carriers (except Verizon Wireless) are working together to create the first official cell phone directory. It will only list phone numbers of customers who have opted into the plan so you still won't be able to find many numbers initially. It's still not currently known at what extent you will have access to this database. It may be restricted to 411 services or it may be published online. It will not be printed in a traditional phonebook style.

Stress Management Through Yoga

Stress, almost all are victim of this drastic term. People from all occupations are facing stress in their life in one way or the other. In this article I would like to summarize the causes and cure for stress through natural therapy called YOGA. But before coming to that point we should have clear understanding of what exactly the stress is. Stress is usually a mental pressure exerted due to fatigue or excessive work. It is also caused from worrying about the work or happenings in the past, present or future. Suppose there is a businessmen exporting his products to several countries, his business is doing fine and growing but somehow a situation comes and he finds his business on decline though there might be some cause for this and it could be short lived making his business to bloom once again, but within this short span the person develops stress which may lead to severe mental hazards.

In the modern world we face stress in every sphere and every step of our life, whether we are in schools, colleges, offices etc. Students face stress due to exams, serviceman face stress due to huge pile of pending work etc. As a result people often practice medications like taking sedatives, narcotics and tranquilizers (medicines to cure anxiety) which calm the mind but in future it creates serious other maladies.

But still there is a therapy which is purely natural and is considered to be the best weapon against stress and that is YOGA. Yoga is the ancient mantra for sound health and also to retain juvenility to a great extent. It has been practiced by several Rishi-Munis in ancient india and now has become a major concern among the modern genre too.

So back to stress management, Yoga provides a unique way of managing stress through Prayanama (A breathing technique), in this technique an individual do slow and steady breathing - like inhaling through his one nostril and exhaling through other. Besides there are fast breathing movements like intake of air through nostrils and exhaling through mouth at fast pace, this way air is passed properly through blood capillaries and the person feels himself / herself in light mode i.e. he / she feels that there is no burden over their mind and soul.

Dhyana (Meditation) is also a good method of controlling stress, in this part of Yoga a person sits in a posture (usually in relaxing mode) and concentrate his / her mind over one point with eyes closed. The mind is concentrated upto an extent when an individual feels that he / she has no interaction with the surroundings, infact the mind reaches in a neutral stage thereby relieving mental exhaustion. Hence yoga provides the best cure to this serious ailment which is disrupting the life of millions of people daily. Anyone practicing yoga daily is rarely suspected to stress, as yoga creates the mind and body immune to stress.

Finally Yoga has and is proving itself as Stress Management Tool and now a days it is being used in western world too as a major alternative to the offensive allopathic drugs.

Residential VoIP is a Great Call

These days, the demand and market for VoIP service is growing at an exponential rate, and for good reason. Voice over IP technology has come quite a long way over even just a few years ago, and VoIP has grown up into a reliable, cost effective alternative (even replacement) for calling services.

As a disclaimer, I will say up front that most industry pros still recommend having one POTS line (i.e. traditional land line) as a backup for emergencies (911.) To clarify, this is not to imply inadequacy of VoIP 911 directory services, since they have vastly improved in the recent past, and are federally mandated. The recommendation to keep a land line is more about having a back-up alternative for 911.

Sounds almost like a contradiction to our statement above ("...reliable alternative") but it really isn't. If you think about it, there are many reasons that an interruption in power could occur more easily, while land lines are more likely to remain in service, electric storms being one example. And, along with the practical implications of keeping an inexpensive land line along side of your VoIP service, it also makes strategic financial sense. The reason is, the cost of a basic local access line, in addition to your VoIP service bill, still represents a considerable savings over the cost of traditional calling plans. The bulk of those savings are realized in the low cost of toll and international calling with VoIP.

Let VoIP save you Money

Probably the greatest attraction to VoIP for the consumer is in the potential cost savings. Many VoIP providers are offering unlimited local and long distance calling for as low as $19.99 a month. On top of that, with VoIP service, toll service charges are eliminated, and international calls are significantly lower on average than with traditional telephony. Common estimates of yearly savings range from $350 to $500 annually.

Say Goodbye to hidden Charges

Everyone knows the frustration of combing through your phone bill and seeing charges associated with acronyms you've never heard of, and wondering what exactly you're paying for and why your phone bill is always a few dollars (or more) higher per month than the package you signed up for. With VoIP, that all goes away.

Free VoIP Features are Standard

This is another big reason why people love VoIP. You get many standard features with a typical VoIP plan that would prove cost prohibitive with your traditional phone company. Things like call waiting, 3 way calling, and even voicemail are completely free and standard with voip. I recall a couple of years ago paying $29 a month JUST for digital voicemail feature on my land line, in addition to the monthly service charges, tolls, long distance, etc.

Freedom and Flexibility

Since a pre-requisite for VoIP is broadband internet connection, there are a few benefits built into your decision to integrate VoIP service into your home. Namely, you'll most likely be using a multi port router, which allows you to place more computers and devices on your home's network.

And ideally, you would opt for a wireless router, which gives you the greatest flexibility of all. Besides providing broadband access to multiple computers without the headaches of hard-wire connections, you will also have options for using SoftPhone VoIP service on multiple devices such as your PC and laptop, and your VoIP phone. Another perk is that with a wireless router, you can configure other devices to function wirelessly on your network (like the printer in the basement connected to laptop in the livingroom.)

Speaking of VoIP phones, many of those are inherently more flexible by design. For example, you can buy a VoIP phone system that includes a "base station" handset with speakerphone, keyboard, etc. and additional wireless handsets with independent docking/charging stations. This is a great way to supply multiple rooms within your home with wireless phones that are built to be totally "feature friendly" i.e. to accommodate the many and varied VoIP features commonly available, as mentioned above. This even includes "Videophone" in some cases, which is real time video transmission that is delivered via broadband and uses the same software/protocols as VoIP phone service.

Summing it Up with VoIP

VoIP is a valid (if not revolutionary) telecommunications technology that is well supported and standardized within a now-exploding industry. It may soon completely replace POTS (plain old telephone service) calling. VoIP can definitely save you a significant amount of money, while providing ease, flexibility, and features that traditional calling couldn't touch.
