Modern hardware and software tools allow you to quickly and completely free of charge to find out the owner of the phone number. If you are harassed by calls from an unknown number, or you have forgotten who owns the phone number recorded in the diary, use special information services and resources.
Instructions
Step 1
You can try to find out the owner of the phone for free via the Internet using search engines or special sites with telephone directories. However, the effectiveness of this method is currently extremely low due to the abundance of all kinds of fraudulent resources. The success of finding an owner increases if you are interested in a short number. Such numbers are usually registered privately for the provision of SMS and various mobile services, and information about the owners is most often indicated on the Internet. If you constantly receive messages or receive calls from a short number, and a certain amount of funds is withdrawn from your account, you could become a victim of scammers. Most likely, information about the owner of this number is already available on the network or on the website of your mobile operator.
Step 2
Pay attention to the initial digits of the number. They can be used to determine the region from which the subscriber called (lists of region codes can be found on the websites of mobile operators). Perhaps the person called from the village where your relatives, distant friends or former acquaintances live, which will allow you to draw certain conclusions. If the number is registered in your region, try contacting mobile phone shops. For simple curiosity, help is unlikely to be provided, but if you receive threats, or you get your hands on the number of a potential offender, you can find out the owner of the phone number for free.
Step 3
In serious situations, contact the law enforcement authorities immediately. Write a statement on the offense committed against you and indicate the number from which the offender was operating. The police will help you find out the ill-fated number and find the offender.
Step 4
Call back to the number you need from another SIM card or from your home phone. Introduce yourself, for example, as an employee of a cellular company and ask the person a few questions, along the way finding out his name and surname. If you do not need to hide your identity, and you think that someone from your acquaintances called, call back from your number. A good way is to dial the number via Skype. So you can not only talk with a suspicious interlocutor, but also record the conversation using special add-ons.
