Why Use Truecaller For Phone Number Lookup

A reverse phone number lookup/phone number lookup is exactly what it says - A phone number search feature where a user can enter a phone number and find out the name of the person to whom the number belongs to! This is the reverse of the traditional, physical phone books where you search for a person’s phone number, and hence the name!

Truecaller determines the contact name through what the Truecaller community of over 338 million suggests on our app or website. For example: If an insurance spam number is reported as ‘Insurance spam’ by a certain number of our users, then that is what the reverse phone lookup will assign to that number.

i. Spam Reports showcases how many times a Truecaller user has marked the specific number as spam and will also indicate by percentage if this is increasing

ii. Call Activity can determine the number of calls the number has made recently, potentially showing how much of a spammer that number is

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