The Phonedetective.com website was created a few years ago by the Delaware corporation Inflection.com, Inc, currently operating out of Redwood City, California. It is a simple to use reverse phone lookup search touted as the “Caller ID for the 21st Century”.

Customers of Phonedetective.com have found the service useful when receiving repeated calls from an unknown number, to find out who their child is communicating with, or to confirm if a number given to them is valid. Phonedetective.com includes a disclaimer that states the service is not to be used to determine an individual’s credit or insurance eligibility, or evaluating an individual for employment purposes.

Depending on a customer’s needs, they may sign up for a trial period to test the website and services. Once the trial period has ended, the customer will automatically be charged the annual membership fee of $29.95 for an unlimited number of phone searches. The customer may instead choose to pay a one-time fee of $9.95 per number, which includes the full data regarding that number. Some of the information included in a full data report includes the name of the person who owns the phone number, current and previous street addresses, list of relatives, criminal and arrest data, social network profiles, and so on. A customer may perform a reverse phone lookup for free if only basic information is needed, such as city and state and mobile service provider.

Phonedetective.com includes a Database Opt-Out feature for anyone to use, whether they are a paying customer or not. This allows a person to remove their own information from the search database, preventing others from finding it through this site.
