I really hate sales people calling me. A lot of time, the caller ID does not display the caller name - just a phone number.

It just remind me about a Jerry Seinfeld’s joke to telemarketers.

(telemarketer) “Would you be interested in a subscription to the New York Times?” to which Jerry replies, “Yes!” and slams down the phone.

Seinfeld’s best food for thought was (after answering a telemarketer’s call), “I’m sorry, I’m a little tied up now. Give me your home number and I’ll call you back later. Oh! You don’t like being called at home? Well, now you know how I feel.”

So, from now on, I will do reverse phone number lookup to all the phone numbers which do not have caller ID.  From the reverse phone number website, it is very easy to lookup phone number. I typed in the phone number and it will display the caller name, caller address and even the caller phone provider information within a second.  As simple as that.

I use the reverse phone number lookup to look up different area code phone numbers like area code 408, area code 510, area code 209. These are a lot of calls from New York and Chicago but the website never fail me. I go to http://www.usaphonelookup.com/ to lookup the number and it does not have any problem to look them up.

Now I can have a piece of mind. So, call me up without caller ID and I will find out who is calling in a second.
