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.

Not much later, in 1990, the customer base of the cell phone industry had already grown to a staggering one million members following the introduction of a second generation 16 ounce cell phone, seven years earlier.

With more cell phone subscribers today than the “old” land line telephones, the cell phone phenomena has impacted our society and we now have units that weigh in at less than 3 ounces!

From the age of 6 years old and over, every member of today’s families now own their very own cell phones. This is a technology that has truly swept through our world.

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.

But cell companies do not willingly give out information which they consider private, and it can indeed be very difficult for anyone to be traced back using a cell phone number. What can parents do then?

The good news is that once you know which service or website you can confidently access, this information need not cost you an arm and a leg. Indeed you can do a reverse cell phone search for all of $14.95 which barely covers the cost of a movie and pop corn if your kid comes to you for pocket money.
