2 min


If you’ve just received a phone call and you have no idea who called you then reverse phone lookup is for you.

What is a Reverse Phone Lookup?

A reverse phone lookup is an easy way to trace a phone number by typing the number in a website or directory, and you’ll be able to identify who called you and whether its legit marketing company or not.

How do reverse phone lookups work?

A reverse phone lookup uses a phone number to look up the name and address of a caller.

To know how a reverse phone lookup works, we need to know a standard phone number looks like. A standard phone number has ten digits and have a 3-3-4 format.

The first three numbers are the area code that’s governed by the FCC. The next three numbers are the carrier designation. And the last four numbers are the digits of the line that connects to the caller.

So when the reverse phone lookup is trying to identify a number, the first three numbers locates the city, the next three digits identify the neighborhood or area and the last four numbers identify the line itself.

As long as the number is not private, it will be accessible online.

Some of the websites we’ve listed below will display similar numbers together with precise matches. This is because some companies buy a range of phone numbers and will use some of those numbers instead of one. Seeing similar numbers will help you know if the caller is part of a phone number range or not.
