Recent Study Reveals Cell Phones As Culprit In Teens Getting Less Sleep — Discover Who Your Teen Is Calling Using PhoneRecordFinder.com

Kirkland, WA (PRWEB) March 15, 2011

Time Magazine recently reported about three new studies published in the journal Sleep. In one of these studies of more than 1,600 13 to 15 year olds in Belgium, scientists found that almost 60% of these teens used their cell phones for either talking or texting after turning out their lights for bedtime. The later the teens stayed awake with their phones, the more tired they were.

How late are these teens staying awake on their phones? The study found that most of them were talking or texting until midnight, and some, well past 3am.

Parents worry about their teens getting enough sleep due to commitments to homework, sports, the arts, and after-school jobs. But parents probably assume that their children are going to sleep after turning out the lights. This study indicates that this may not be the case.

As part of a dialogue with their teens, parents may want information about who is calling or texting their kids after lights-out. By entering the phone number (from the call logs or phone bill) into the search bar at http://www.PhoneRecordFinder.com, parents can get information about the number. Much of the information is free, and parents can opt to get more information for a small fee. Information is available for land lines, cell phones, home or work phones and unlisted numbers.

In addition, parents can use the Resources tab at Phone Record Finder.com to find links to websites about keeping kids safe.

For more information about the study, please see the Time magazine article at http://ti.me/83EYVW. For more information about phone number searches and reverse number look-ups, please see http://www.PhoneRecordFinder.com.

Report Shows One Sixth of American Households Only Use Cell Phones; Site Responds to Increased Need for Reverse Cell Phone Lookups

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) August 1, 2008

A new study released by the CDC by Stephen J. Blumberg, Ph.D., and Julian V. Luke shows that one in six American households rely solely on cellular phones and this number is expected to increase. While this trend indicates many social changes in America, it also will render a common household object obsolete: the telephone directory, which traditionally has only contained land line numbers. With consumers in uproar over the creation of a cell phone directory, it seems like there is no viable replacement for the neighborhood telephone directory. A service, Who Owns This Phone Number, however, does provide a useful service for those hoping to find out more about a cell phone number: reverse cell phone lookups.

Different from traditional forward searches that require a name in order to find a number, reverse cell phone lookups use a number to find a name. There are several different reasons why people today might want to learn more about unknown or unwanted phone call numbers. Whether the caller a person needs to learn more about is potentially threatening, a harmless prankster, or an annoying telemarketer, it’s very common to use the Internet to find out who’s behind the unknown calls on caller ID or on a phone bill. Many people might think that it’s difficult to find information about people with only their phone numbers, but Who Owns This Phone Number, http://www.whoownsthisphonenumber.com, allows them to do just that quickly and easily, even for difficult to find cell phone numbers.

With only a few clicks, consumers can go from ten strange digits to a name and address. These sites work by accessing large numbers of records and databases containing phone owner information. This means they can find information about almost any phone number, including land lines, cell phones, and even unlisted numbers. This can save time and worry, especially if the phone number they are searching for has been appearing on the call log of a child or loved one.

Reverse phone searches aren’t the only way to find out more about unknown callers. Many searchers start by using a traditional Internet search engine. While this method may result in unrelated results, it can sometimes turn up information without a large amount of hassle or inconvenience. Other sites to check include free Internet people searches and social networking sites. While these sites don’t guarantee results, they sometimes have the added bonus of potentially revealing personal web space, which might hold a lot of valuable information but also some incorrect or out of date information. Who Owns This Phone Number eliminates the legwork and uncertainty by providing accurate and up to date results to its customers.

For consumers who need to find out about a phone number, even a cell phone number, they now have a standout service in Who Owns This Phone Number.

Numberinvestigator.com’s Free Phone Number Lookup Becomes A Critical Tool In The Fight Against Identity Theft, Spam and Fraud on Mobile Phones

Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) July 20, 2010

Numberinvestigator.com, a leading provider of reverse phone lookup services for cell phones, land lines and VoIP, is experiencing strong growth in its free phone number searches due to the growing threat of identity theft, scams, phishing and call fraud through mobile devices.

Just like computer users, cell phone users are vulnerable to phone call and text message-based attacks like phishing and other efforts. Mobile viruses, worms and Trojans have been around for many years. They typically arrive via email but are now being spread through text messages. All attackers have to do is create a malicious Web page and lure someone to visit the site where malware can then be downloaded onto a mobile device. People should avoid clicking on unknown links in text messages on their mobile phones.

Some people may be inadvertently opting in to receive text messages when they sign up for other services with merchants. Many free ringtone download sites are used to collect mobile numbers. Spammers also use auto-dialers that randomly generate numbers or try them sequentially. Verizon has filed eight to 10 lawsuits against SMS spammers over the past four to five years, and 20 lawsuits altogether involving telemarketers.

Numberinvestigator.com is a leading provider of reverse phone number lookup services that enable consumers to simply search a number, including cell numbers (where available), landline numbers and VoIP to accurately find the owner of that number. Consumers can find comfort in knowing who a number belongs to before they answer a call, open a text message or open a link in a text message from an unknown number and potentially exposing their lives to those of scammers and identity stealers. Numberinvestigator.com also offers a one of a kind consumer complaint service that makes it easier for consumers to accurately find callers’ identities, widely communicate complaints and read other complaints about harassing phone calls and potential fraud.

Mobile phones are regularly used to store sensitive information that can be accessed by infiltrating the device. For instance, the inbox and outbox for text messages can contain information that can be used for identity fraud. In a recent report from ABI Research, senior analyst Mark Beccue reported that, “Regardless of what type of cell phone, the most dangerous current threat is through a cell phone’s in/out message boxes.”

A number of popular phones have been affected by mobile viruses. A person used text messages to hack directly into mobile phones and was then demanding $ 7 from victims for information on how to secure their phones. In addition, standard phones are also experiencing scammers in Russia and Indonesia that are hiding a Trojan in pirated software that sends text messages from a person’s phone to premium rate numbers – costing as much as $ 5 each and racking up huge bills unbeknownst to the phone’s owner.

The following are resources for consumers if they are affected by unwanted calls and to report suspicious text messages:

AT&T

Customers can block text messages or calls from a specific phone number on the website http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/articles-resources/parental-controls/smart-limits.jsp as well as restrict the sources of e-mail that reach your phone on http://mymessages.wireless.att.com/.

Sprint

Sprint wants customers to call customer service to report all spam messages so the company can modify its spam-filtering technology to block the phone numbers that are sending it. Customers should not reply to the messages, otherwise it verifies to the spammer that the phone number is valid.

T-Mobile

Postpaid and FlexPay customers can create their own filters and block chargeable text messages, MMS (multi-media service) messages, instant messages, and e-mail from being sent to their phones by calling customer service.

Verizon

Customers can sign up for Usage Controls that allow them to block certain numbers from calling or sending text messages to the phone. And if customers text only with a few people they can create an alias for free and receive only text messages sent to that address.

U.S. Federal Trade Commission

To block spam phone calls, customers should register their mobile numbers with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Do Not Call Registry.
