Salt Lake City, UT---December 28, 2010---Mobile is on the rise. It’s estimated that over 4.6 billion people subscribe to mobile services, and mobile use will only continue to grow, reaching a projected 5.5 billion subscribers in 2011. That is huge growth, and like any strong commercial growth, mobile carries with it some nasty side effects. One of those side effects is Spam. Spam callers have been increasingly adept at obtaining mobile phone numbers, and they are relentless in their harassment. Fortunately, services like NumFind (www.numfind.com) have sprouted up to help mobile subscribers combat the seemingly endless barrage of annoying daily calls.
NumFind.com offers a way for mobile subscribers and other Spam call victims to quickly identify and dismiss Spam calls. To take advantage of this simple, effective reverse phone lookup all you have to do is type a phone number into a search box. NumFind.com produces a results page that displays a map showing the approximate location of your caller along with an option to find out more detailed information, like the caller’s name, phone company and carrier, most current address, and even household information.
Reverse phone lookup services like NumFind.com benefit both employers and employees. Recent labor statistics show that the average U.S. worker costs employers $30 an hour. That’s expensive. Employers can’t afford an employee’s time to be consumed at work by frivolous calls to a cell phone or landline. And, no matter how many times an employer tells employees meetings are “no-cell zones,” we all know a cell phone will weasel its way in somehow. With a reverse phone lookup, an employee can identify Spam calls quickly and block them, saving hours of answering and wondering.
Many Spam calls may be the result of collectors. Credit card debt is higher than ever, and so are credit default rates. That spells good news for debt collectors and bad news for the average consumer, who is hounded day in and day out by incessant collection calls. Websites like NumFind.com allow visitors to enter comments on numbers as a kind of communal effort to eliminate Spam. This can be a quick way to identify a debt collector, and help you reverse answering that call for a more appropriate time. If the number belongs to a collector, you’ll most likely find comments and rants by fellow debtors denouncing collector practices and identifying the collection agency. Overall, reverse phone lookups seem to be a plus in today’s economy, helping workers be more productive and companies be more efficient by helping people reduce distraction and reverse the Spam.
