Can the police or phone company find "private" numbers made on a cell phone.?

Answer 1

Yep. The cell phone company keeps data on this. That is how they know how much to charge you! Then if the police need to know, they only need to subpoena the company for the information. They need a warrant, though, but if they have a good reason to look that is not very hard to get. And so long as Bush is President, the Feds might even do it WITHOUT a warrant. So much for the Constitution.

Answer 2

The police can obtain full cell phone records including all private numbers, texts, file transfers etc pertaining to that phone. They can even trace the actual phone location if need be.
To obtain these in depth records they must have some cause for it and obtain a warrant. For example if you need to review the records of a murder suspect you can go before a judge who will quickly issue the warrant. I can tell you cell phone companies generally are very protective of their customers and not all that helpful to the police at times. The warrant will change that real quick though. Hope this helps

Answer 3

This may come as a shock, even a wake up call; there is no such thing as a "private number". Any private investigator worth his weight in salt can obtain the subscriber information to ANY "unlisted" phone number, or cell phone number. Fees for this service range from $100 to $300, Surprised? Go to google and do a search on "unlisted phone numbers". Now if a P.I. can do this effforlessly, just think how easy it is for the police, or anyone else for that matter.

Answer 4

Absolutely. Private only applies to members of the public not having the number, but the agencies and companies providing the service know all.

Answer 5

Yes, no warrant needed just a call or complaint number. The cell company will provide all info and history requested.

Answer 6

YES. The fact that a caller comes up in your CID as "private","un-known", or what ever, is no different than having an "un-listed" or "un-published" number in the phone book. The calling phone still has a unique number....and can be traced several ways.

Answer 7

What calls are made to where are a matter of PUBLIC UTILITY RECORD...they do not need a warrant..all the do is get the call logs from the company....WHAT is said is another matter...that they need a warrant or a confession to obtain...

Answer 8

With a warrant the police can do pretty much everything.

Answer 9

yes, phone company records

Answer 10

Easily.
