Have you ever gotten a call or text from an unknown number, and then wondered how to look up a phone number online online? Well, it’s easier than ever to find out who a person is contacting you by using a variety of phone number search engines and other tools on the internet.
The first step is to use a simple Google search. Google will often return results with a person’s name and the phone number if it is posted on other sites, such as public job profiles, social media, or even some people search engines.
A popular site for looking up a phone number is Whitepages. It allows users to search by phone number and will reveal who the number belongs to as well as any associated businesses. It also offers a free reverse phone lookup.
Another good tool is Truecaller, which is a mobile app and website that lets users identify phone numbers and block spam calls. It uses data from official government and state records to provide accurate information on a person’s identity. It can also locate cell phone numbers and port numbers, if the person has used one of those services.
A newer and more powerful tool is InfoTracer, which searches a phone number with public records and private databases to create a full profile of the owner. This includes photos and videos, social media activity, contact information, relatives, and more. It’s easy to use and available for a monthly subscription or a single search.
