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.

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

  • There are a few ways a number can show up as an unknown caller including when 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 directory listings like Whitepages and Yellow Pages.

  • 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.
