Mr. Cooper of Motorola caused quite a stir when back in 1973 he used his then 30 ounce portable phone to call one of his rivals at AT&T. Walking in the streets of New York he was making the first ever real cell phone call.
Ten years later, Motorola introduced its second generation of cell phone, which at 16 ounce was half the weight of its predecessor. Seven years later, one million Americans were cell phone users.
The cell phone customer base today is more massive than that for ordinary land phones, and with cell phones now weighing in at around 3 ounce, the cell phone is very much part of our daily life.
From Father to Mom, to our teenagers, families throughout the world have embraced this new technology and it is now not uncommon to see our younger children (less than 10 years old) receive their own cell phones!
But with the advantages of the cell phone, come into place a whole range of risks as the use of cell phones and chat lines on the internet have combined to place our children at risk from predators who will try to speak to them by phone with a view to see them in individual!
Reading through the daily press, it is not unusual to read stories of kids who have been the victims of on the web predators and parents throughout the world are understandably worried. Of course each steps should be taken to prevent kids from being contacted in the first place, but once you realize your kid is indeed spending time talking to an adult on his/her cell phone, now is a very tiny window of chance to actually do something about it.
But cell organizations don’t willingly give out information which they consider private, and it can indeed be very difficult for somebody to be traced back using a cell phone number. What can parents do then?
It is possible to trace back the name and address of any individual who calls a cell phone by doing a reverse cell phone search and even though this is not a free service, at $14.95, it is unlikely to break the bank.
