What is a reverse phone lookup?

A reverse phone lookup allows you to search records associated with a landline or cell phone number. Looking up a phone number on a people search engine like Spokeo gives you the advantage of having all the information you need - right at your fingertips. These records can include information like names, locations, email addresses, public records and social media profiles. Here's how a reverse phone lookup can help you:

 

  • Find out who’s calling or texting you

       Searching a phone number can give you information on who’s trying to get a hold of you. 

       This can help you decide your next move - accept the call or send to voicemail?

 

  • Identify spam callers and avoid phone scams

       A phone lookup can reveal telemarketers, robocallers, credit collectors, or potential 

       scammers - and where they’re calling from. Revealing these identities can help you keep 

       your identity and finances safe.

 

  • Verify identities

       Not sure if the person calling you from an unknown number is a family member, old friend, 

       or telemarketer? A phone lookup can help you solve that mystery. Or perhaps you want to 

       see if an online date or seller is who they say they are. You can avoid online predators by 

       verifying their identity before going any further.

 

  • Protect your loved ones

       A reverse search of the phone numbers found on your phone bill may reveal that family 

       members or a significant other is texting someone they shouldn’t be.

 

  • Reconnect with people you lost touch with

       Not only can a phone lookup help you protect you and your loved ones - it can also help 

       you reconnect with your loved ones too. Since reverse phone lookups provide contact 

       details, like email addresses and updated phone numbers, or social media profiles, that old 

       number you have in your phone book may actually be the missing link to getting you back in 

       touch with old friends and family.
