Why Use Truecaller For Phone Number Lookup

A reverse phone number lookup/ phone number lookup is exactly what it sounds like – a tool that allows users to enter a phone number and find out the name of the person to whom the number belongs! This is the reverse of the traditional, physical phone books where you search for a person’s phone number, hence the name!

The Truecaller community of 368 million people worldwide actively suggests names for the phone numbers they get calls from. For example: if a caller is reported as ‘Insurance spam’ by a certain number of our users, then that is the name that our reverse phone lookup will show when users search for whose telephone number this is.

Looking up phone numbers on Truecaller is super easy – you just need to search for the phone number in the search bar and sign in to view the results. You will be able to see the caller’s name (as contributed by the Truecaller community), their location, the countries in which they call most frequently, the comments our app’s users said about them, and a lot more!

Yes, our tool is free. You can just sign in using an email address and check the name behind the phone number for no cost!

When you search for a number, you will see Spam Statistics in the results. These statistics showcase six important trends about the phone number: Calls Made, Spam Reports, Look-ups, Pick-up Rate, Top Countries, and Peak Calling Hours. We believe these are the most important indicators to allow you to determine how risky the number is.

i. Calls Made is a count of how many times this number called a Truecaller user in the last 60 days.

ii. Spam Reports showcases how many times Truecaller users marked this specific number as a spam caller and will also indicate by percentage if this is increasing or decreasing in the last 60 days.

iii. Look-ups shows how many times the phone number has been searched by Truecaller users in the app and on our website in the previous 2 months.

iv. Pick-up rate shows (in percentage form) how many times a call by the specific number has been picked up vs how many calls it made in the last 60 days.

v. Top Countries shows the countries to which the specific phone number makes the most calls. So a number based in The Philippines can be active in The Philippines, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

vi. Peak Calling Hours shows when the spammer is the most active
