What is a Reverse Phone Lookup?

Reverse phone lookups search databases of telecom phone records which contain details about specific telephone numbers. Running one may be able to help you find the information you're looking for like GEO location, city or zip code of origin, and even a person's name. Reverse lookups can also work with landline and cell phone numbers along with voice over IP numbers (VoIP) which use an internet service provider to make the call.

You can use this access to do a phone number search and try finding out who's behind unknown phone calls. You may uncover useful information like caller name, full address, age, and email. Then, you can do a reverse address search on any properties found to dig deeper into those details and see available sale, deed, lien, and tax history.

Protect yourself from phone scams

Protecting your personal information during phone calls starts with you. Unless you’re certain you know who you're talking to, keep your personal information private and never share it out over the phone or by text. Let us do the rest by helping you identify potential phone scammers and find out who may be behind the number.

Why do numbers show up as “unknown caller”?

Incoming calls may be displayed as “unknown” when 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 phone number directories.

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.

I clean carpets for a living, and once in a while I'm running late for a cleaning appointment; I then realize that I don't have the most-current phone number for my customer so I can let her know that I'm still coming. Been Verified usually has the current phone number and my day gets a little easier. Thanks!
