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.

In 1983, ten short years later, Mr. Cooper yet again made history by introducing a 16 ounce Motorola cell phone. Seven years later, in 1990, there were over one million users of cell phones.

The cell phone customer base today is larger 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 Dad to Mom, to our teenagers, families throughout the world have embraced this new technology and it is now not uncommon to see our younger kids (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 kids at risk from predators who will try to talk to them by phone with a view to see them in person!

Online predators pose an all together too familiar threat, widely reported in our media today, and throughout the nation, concerned parents worry that their own kids might fall prey to these characters. Whilst a kid should never be allowed to be contacted by an adult unless specifically authorized by their parents, parents should indeed immediately alert the local police and even the police if it does happen.

The bad news is that cell phone records are not public information and as such, it is extremely difficult to obtain the name and address of the unauthorized person who is actually calling our kids. What can we do then?

Well, plenty actually. It is possible to trace back the name and address of anyone 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.
