Why do numbers show up as “unknown caller”?

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.

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) makes this possible. It involves gathering publicly available information about a phone number using online sources such as search engines, social media, forums, public databases, and specialized lookup tools. This process helps uncover details like the owner’s name, location, and potential connected online activity. OSINT can help you identify unknown callers or investigate potential scams by using openly accessible information.
