Background
Background
CellPhoneDirectory.com is a redirect with a sales page around it. Type a number in and the site displays a brief loading message before handing you off — it even provides a manual link in case the redirect doesn't fire. The destination is Instant Checkmate, which the page names as its source throughout.
The copy runs the same template Intelius uses on its own phone skins, with the brand name swapped. That's the family pattern of one page, several names, whichever registrant it's filed under.
What the site claims a phone report contains is the useful part — a full name where available, social profiles, carrier and line type, and contact information, with criminal and traffic records behind an additional charge.
Network
Sister brands
Instant Checkmate LLC files for four domains. Only instantcheckmate.com is a search product with records behind it - the other three, including this one, feed it.
Removal happens at Instant Checkmate. PeopleConnect's Suppression Center covers instantcheckmate.com along with TruthFinder, Intelius and US Search. It doesn't name this domain, but this domain holds nothing of its own - so suppressing the parent record is what clears what you found here. Check afterwards rather than assuming.
FAQ
Q & A
Who owns CellPhoneDirectory.com?
Instant Checkmate LLC. The site describes itself as "CellPhoneDirectory.com powered by Instant Checkmate", and the domain is one of four on Instant Checkmate LLC's California data-broker filing.
How do I remove my information from CellPhoneDirectory.com?
Through Instant Checkmate. This site has no opt-out form of its own - its privacy links go to instantcheckmate.com/privacy-center, which hands off to PeopleConnect's Suppression Center. Follow our Instant Checkmate removal guide, then re-check here a few days later.
Can I stop my phone number appearing in a lookup like this?
Suppressing your Instant Checkmate record is the lever. Be aware that PeopleConnect limits suppression to name-based search results by its own wording, so a report pulled by phone number isn't described as covered. Search your own number after opting out and see what comes back.
Is CellPhoneDirectory.com a consumer reporting agency?
No, and its own footer disclaims the status on Instant Checkmate's behalf. Its data can't lawfully be used to decide on credit, insurance, employment, or housing. Instant Checkmate LLC's California filing likewise answers no to FCRA regulation - though the FTC found the brand had operated as one anyway in its 2023 case.
