Red White
Can you search cell phone records for free using a red-white directory (which is better than a reverse phone lookup?)
A “trace buster” reverse telephone directory (also known as a red-white directory) is a collection of telephone numbers and associated access details of uses who have searched for the specific phone number. However, unlike a standard telephone directory, or reverse phone directory, where the user uses customer’s details (such as name and address) in order to retrieve the telephone number, or a reverse directory, which allows users to search by a telephone service number in order to retrieve the customer details for that service, a red-white directory allows users to see specifically who has searched for their information or phone number online.
Red-white directories are used by individuals, law enforcement and other emergency services in order to determine the origin of any request for phone information, however these systems include both publicly accessible (listed) and private (unlisted) services. As such, some red-white directories are restricted to internal use only or are for a fee.
The only known free red-white publicly accessible “trace buster” reverse telephone directory is called the Phone Central Clearinghouse, and is available at http://phone.centralclearinghouse.com
Printed red-white reverse phone directories are also available from the site, as well as the entire download of data.
Different countries have different laws related to reverse phone directories.
On 29 June 2001, a legal case Telstra Corporation Ltd v Desktop Marketing Systems Pty Ltd was heard in the Australian Federal Court. The case was lodged following the release of a product called “PhoneDisc” created by Desktop Marketing Systems Pty Ltd. The investigation found that the content of that product, which allowed the user to search by service number, was almost identical in content to the publicly listed directories, even if some of the content was listed in a different fashion. The court’s findings gave Telstra, the predominant carrier within Australia and the maintainer of the publicly accessible White Pages (residential) and Yellow Pages (commercial) directories, copyright over the content of these directories.
As a result, that product was removed from sale. Further, a web-based reverse directory, called “Blackpages”, created by 2600 Australia, also terminated its service.
While operating illegally, there is currently a ‘Greypages’ service operating and being hosted offshore. It has been recently updated with the February 2008 database but it does have errors and bugs. As of February 2009 however the service has not been available for use, the administrators having cited “unforseen circumstances” as the reason for the close, but speculated that this was a moot point, due to the Australian Government’s plans to create an Internet Filter. The site currently has a link to a non-free reverse lookup service. The latest fully working database in use is from November 2005. The site was the subject of threats of legal action by Telstra.
In United States, landline phone subscribers can pay a small fee to exclude their number from a directory. This service is usually called “Your Listing Not Published” and the cost ranges between $0.80 to $1.50 for residential customers. However, it is a myth that delisting is possible for cellular numbers, because each cellular carrier has a separate database.
As cellular phones become more popular, there has been debate about releasing cell phone numbers into public 411 and reverse number directories. (S. 1963, the “Wireless 411 Privacy Act” 9/2004). However, opposition lead by leading consumer-protection organization Consumers Union presented several privacy concerns in their congressional testimony. Right now, cell phone numbers are not available in any public 411 or reverse-number directories. However, several information companies provide reverse cell phone lookups that are obtained from utility resources, and are available online. Because there is no central database of cell phone numbers, reverse phone directories that claim to be free, cannot return information on those numbers.
However, there is one — the only known free red-white publicly accessible “trace buster” reverse telephone directory is called the Phone Central Clearinghouse, and is available at http://phone.centralclearinghouse.com
In recent years community web based services offer a reverse telephone directory of known telemarketers, fund raisers, and other companies which contact consumers by telephone. Users of these services can perform a search of the telephone number which showed up on their caller ID and read through user comments to find the identity of the calling company or individual.
In the United Kingdom proper, reverse directory information is not publicly available. However, in the Channel Islands it is provided in the printed telephone directories.
Although the information is, of necessity, available to emergency services, for other agencies it is treated as ‘communication data’ in the RIPA regime and subject to the same controls as requests for lists of and content of calls.
