How to Trace a Phone Number Easily

Step 1

The first step in running a reverse search on a phone number is to have it. You may have gotten calls from the number already or someone may have given you the number. Tracing a phone number is different than find out the phone number of a specific person. In these types of searches you start out only with a number and you won’t have any name or other information to help you out.

Step 2

The second step is to search the phone number using a search engine or an app for reverse phone lookups. There are many sites that will help you find out who a number belongs to. Be sure to pick a reputable one. You may need to make an account if there are no free results available or if you’re downloading an app for lookups.

It’s a good idea to download a caller ID app for conducting reverse phone lookups on your iPhone. These apps allow you to quickly lookup who’s calling you and will even automatically identify some incoming calls or block calls from known scam phone numbers.

Step 3

Once you’ve found a good site for phone number searches you may decide to purchase a report on the phone number that you’re looking up. These reports usually cost a small fee and can give you a lot of information, like the phone owner’s full name, address, and social media profiles.
