Hint: Search any phone #, your significant other, or mystery caller.
Do you get a lot of spam calls or unknown callers on your cell phone and wonder "who called me from this phone number?" Should you answer it or let it roll over to voicemail? How about trying to find out who's calling instead? Using a reverse phone lookup can help you learn more about the number and who it could be.
Reverse phone lookups dig into telecom phone records which contain details about a specific number. You may be able to see location information, city or zip code of origin, and owner info. They can also work with voice over IP numbers (VoIP) which use an internet service provider to make the call.

There are a number of reasons why an incoming call may be displayed as “unknown.” These include situations where the number is unlisted or made through a VoIP service or app. When a number is unlisted, it means the person, company or organization is trying to keep their information private by intentionally removing it from directories like Whitepages and Yellow Pages.
With VoIP services, callers can request phone numbers through services like Google Voice which can display as “unknown caller” if there is no profile name on the digital voice account. Reverse phone searches can still be used to track down information about these numbers.

All of this data is restricted to the phone carrier (like AT&T or Verizon) and is not publicly available.

Blocked numbers use *67 to hide their number on your phone’s caller ID. This may leave you without a number to look up using a reverse phone search. However, the number is still visible to your phone service provider. Try contacting your carrier to see if you can get the number from them. If you can locate the blocked number, use it to do a reverse number search.
