How to choose
- Unknown caller or texter: a reverse phone lookup with a free carrier and line-type preview, like TrueSearch.
- Is my match real? Start free: reverse image search, then a name search.
- Hiring, renting or lending: none of these. Use an FCRA-compliant screening company with the person's consent.
- Watch the billing: many sites sell $1 to $6 trials that renew monthly. Read the renewal terms.
