The Difference Between A Call Trace And Reverse Lookup
If you're wondering what the difference between a "call trace" and a "reverse lookup"... and why this deserves special attention... I decided to shed some light on the issue.
First, reverse lookups are based on a KNOWN number... generally speaking, someone will look up a number that they find on their phone bill or that they found on a loved-one's phone.
A call trace - on the other hand - doesn't require a phone number... Private numbers, unlisted numbers, and payphones can be "traced" but aren't in any reverse phone lookup website.
Secondly... the way that a trace is done is much different than how a reverse lookup is done. Reverse phone lookups are pretty simple... in a phone book, each phone number is associated with a person. When a phonebook is digitized, running a search is pretty simple.
A call trace is much different... they use special telephony technology and information from the phone switches and exchanges to find the owner of private, unlisted, and cell phone numbers.
