  1. Is it regularly updated? If not, you may be given a bunch of outdated garbage that doesn’t belong to the current phone owner. When people move on to a new plan and ditch their mobile number, their companies often give the same number to a new customer. So unless the reverse lookup database you’re accessing is updated regularly, there is a risk of getting the previous owner’s information instead of that from the current owner.
  2. Is it of a substantial size? If it doesn’t have at least 200 – 215 million numbers, you may be wasting your time.

Shoot for something no less than 210 million numbers.
