To find out who is calling from a specific phone number, you can use reverse phone lookup services. These tools allow you to enter the phone number and retrieve information such as the caller's name, location, phone carrier, and whether the number is associated with spam or scams. Popular and reliable options include:
- Truecaller : Offers a large community-based database with caller names, spam reports, and location info. You just enter the number to see details and can also block unwanted calls by using their app
- Whitepages : Provides detailed information including the phone owner’s name, address, carrier type, and spam risk. It works for landlines, business numbers, and cell phones (some features may require a fee)
- Sync.ME : Identifies unknown callers in real-time, blocks spam, and shows caller info even if the number is not in your contacts
- Tellows : Community-driven platform where users rate and comment on phone numbers, helping identify spam or harassment calls
- Other tools like IPQualityScore, Mr. Number, and NumLookup also offer free reverse phone lookup services
You can simply enter the phone number you want to investigate on any of these platforms to discover who is calling you. This approach is safer and more effective than guessing or answering unknown calls directly
