In short, They are not what they used to be.
At one time you pull up that phone number that keeps hanging up on you when they call. At one time you could have proof that (insert name here) has called you. At one time you could get deep directions to the crazy place your child just called you from telling you they are staying at a friend’s house. All for free.
But now they make it creepy and weird. They make it seem like you are doing some strange private detective junk and want to sell you the information at some stupid monthly price.
There are no more sites that do it for free for that one time you need it. They sell you with “well you might need it again”.
You know, there is another way around this issue. Call 1411. It’s cheaper. and you stand a 99.9999% chance they will not steal your credit card number.
Now days there are so many cell phone carriers out there and well, the law is different about listing cell phone numbers. Why? because cell phones cost per minute. It’s pretty crummy when a company calls your cell phone and tries to solicit you.
So head to information, or your yellow pages phone book or what ever directory you can find and locate your kid. If you have to , look at their 4square page or gowalla page or twitter or facebook. You will find the lil tard.
