Sprint’s core business is in cellular services. After Sprint PCS combined with Nextel, their wireless business has become one of the largest in the US Sprint customers make millions of calls every day, most likely many of these phone calls are missed calls. Identification does not give you any more information than a wireless call. If you want to know who is associated with the phone number, you will need to do reverse cell phone lookups.
In early 2005, Sprint was in talks with AT&T, Cingular, Nextel, T-Mobile, and a few other cell service providers to create a national directory of Mobile 411 cell phone numbers. When the proposal came out, it was met with strong resistance. of privacy groups and most phone owners. Most phone owners want their numbers to remain private and anonymous. Subsequently, a law was passed to make telemarketing calls to cell phones illegal. In December 2007, Congress wrote a bill (S. 2454) that would prohibit the creation of a mobile directory. The measure is currently before the Senate Commerce Committee.
There are currently no public white pages on any cell phone provider, it’s unlikely there will be one in the near future because the law is getting even stricter to protect personal privacy.
To meet public demand for mobile phone search services, in recent years, various companies have spent millions of dollars to create alternative mobile phone directories. These private cell directories are often referred to as “backdoor” directories. Phone numbers were collected through data brokers, sponsored events, surveys, new cell phone giveaways, and other sensitive data channels. Major directories contain numbers covering nearly 80% of US wireless phone owners.
Private directories would allow you to check if a phone number belongs to Sprint or not for free. If the number exists, you can also trace the owner’s name, address, and background information. If the information is not accurate, you should request a refund, many directories have a 100% money back guarantee policy.
Beware of “free phone book” scams. There are several internet websites that claim to give you free cell phone searches, but they want you to register your personal information first, they want to collect your name, cell phone number and home address before doing a search. Their sole purpose is to collect your private information and sell it to data brokers. It would be very expensive to remove such information from hundreds of people search websites. These types of websites should be avoided.
