Intelius Launches Fee-Based Cell Phone Number Database and Now White Pages Provider to MSN

Thanks (as always) to TVC Alert for the info and oops to us for missing this one about two weeks ago.

Intelius, providers of numerous databases for both consumers and the business world including:

+ "People Search"
+ Background Verification and Employee & Tenant Screening
+ Property Information
+ Criminal Background Checks

has released what it calls the first Cell Phone Directory. It's free to search but full records (almost all of the data) are fee-based. See below.

Note: You can run a search (name, location) and see if a cell phone number is associated with the record. However, like we said a moment ago, to see the actual record is a fee-based.

Fast Facts:
+ "Enhancement" to their current phone directory services

When searching by name, Intelius' cell phone directory checks the name and expands the search results to include other possible connections to the name entered. An Intelius cell phone report contains information on a cell phone user including owner name, address and other contact numbers. Each search costs $14.95 and allows a person to search by name or do a reverse search by a cell phone number.

See Also: Much More via The Virtual Chase including a link to the National Do Not Call Registry.

See Also: In Other Intelius News, they have been selected by MSN to be the Exclusive Provider of Data for the "White Pages" Channel on MSN.
Direct to MSN White Pages (Note the URL)

See Also: Intelius is also listed (it's clearly labeled "advertisement") at the bottom of the Yahoo People Search home page and results pages.

See Also: Other Players in this Area of Search Include KnowX and PeopleFinders.com.
