This! OP is an obvious ploy to drum up interest in this product.

It doesn't work very well!!!

No , haven't used it but I've heard of it.

I've also read an article about it and have heard its actually legal. I understood the basics of how it worked from reading about it.

but I have used reverse cell phone searches before with positive results because I tested it out on phone numbers of people who I knew. it gave results that no completely free site would give me. Here is something that offers a free trial on it.

I don't know why it is like that, I have noticed that sometimes on other news articles that they reflect the current day instead of the day written. I am the OP,not SpyDialer! I am just concerned (curious?) about a number that has been calling one of my teens. I could ask them, but I don't think they realize that I am able to see the actual numbers and I'd prefer it to stay that way!
But even I will draw the line at using this service because it feels so invasive.

I was just curious if anyone else had tried it, and if they think it is as questionable as I do.

Do you think your spouse is cheating? Or is this someone being called from your kids phone?

OP here, yes it is fascinating. I used it on my own phone and it was very creepy how it played my message back to me but did not show up on my phone's history. If an individual has a generic message, of course it wouldn't help identify them. Not sure I will try it on the "mystery" number , but it is tempting.

I've never heard of it, but it sounds fascinating. So... I googled it. Here's one article that came up.

I was curious about a # that keeps showing up on our wireless bill. When I tried a reverse phone look up site online, I found out it's a cell phone, but would have to pay a fee to find the owner of the #. During my search of reverse look up sites, something came up called "SpyDialer". Apparently it is an anonymous site: you type in the number you are interested in, and it is able to retrieve the outgoing voice mail message of that # so you can figure out whose it is. I don't really understand how this works and it seems pretty creepy.
Has anyone here ever used it ? Any feedback appreciated!
