Most of the people you know are not going to leave the country, but some are. Some of your friends will change their last name when they get married, but others won’t. Others have common names and are easily lost in the crowd. Some we work with move on to other companies and we lose contact due to competition issues. All of these things can make it difficult to find the cell number of an old friend, classmate, or colleague, but PeekYou is a site that hopes to change that for you.
A PeekYou profile is a place where people can go and post links to your various sites and online resources. This means that they can add links to their photos, profiles on professional and social networking sites, blogs, and anything else related to them. Most who do this want to be found by old friends and classmates, so they make it very easy for them. Sometimes people can also contribute things about people they know.
When you first go to PeekYou, you’ll find a name search that looks a lot like the same search you see on other sites. You can try this first, but make sure of the spelling as possible. If you’re not sure, try every variation you can think of before giving up. Note that PeekYou first searches through the profiles on your site, but then gives you the option to search other sources, Google being one of them.
If you get a match from PeekYou, you may find that someone has listed phone numbers, including cell numbers, or left other contact information. You may also find a mention of them on a different profile. If you don’t get a match, or you get too many, you can look for other ways. You can search for a different country, which is something other searches can’t, or you can even search for your last known place of work or school. Both can be immensely helpful.
What can be a problem with finding a mobile number through PeekYou, or any other source, is that you can get a number, but you’re not sure if it’s the right person. When that happens, and you need verification before you dial, go to a reverse phone lookup to see what happens when you look up a phone number for more information.
