Reverse Lookup : An Utility for the decade

How to find people using reverse phone lookup ?
                                    -
Today I received a call from unknown guy I rejected it.If you were in my place what you had done…?
Some of us pick it up,
Some let it ring and do not pick,
And some want to know who called them but they don’t know how to.
I am here,to tell who called you.Actually I will not tell but certain websites and apps will,for this there is a technique called as Reverse Phone lookup . And many apps and websites around the world are striving hard to become market leader in this Reverse Lookup Segment.
Using Reverse Phone Lookup we can find out certain details of the caller for eg. his/her name,state,address etc.
Today , when you search on any search engine be it Bing, Google or Duckduckgo, about reverse phone lookup you will typically find dozens of providers which work on under segment of Reverse LookUp some of which are free to use and some paid ones as well.
I have compared many of the Reverse Lookup Providers and have resulted in finding out the best options we have available in the market to find out the mobile number you seek for.
After reading the article you will find finding the guy who called you was so easy.
Below is the listing of the Lookup Providers I have compared:
  • Whoscall
  • Truecaller
  • WhitePages
  • YellowPages
  • ReversePhoneLookup
  • SpyDialer
  • Canada411
  • ZabaSearch
  • Zlookup
  • Spokio
  • PeopleSearch
  • SocialCatFish
  • AnyWho
  • RealCaller
  • Truecontact
  • WhoWho
The following is the sequence for the best :
  1. Whoscall.com
Step.1)Visit the site Whoscall
Step.2)Then, enter the 10 digit mobile number which you want to    lookup along with the country code using the drop down button(which’s circled).
Step.3)Then hit the search button.

Area Served : Worldwide
The biggest advantage of using whoscall over rivals is that it’s free and provides worldwide lookups without signing up.
With it you can search from a global database of 700,000,000 phone numbers. Whoscall search data consists of the user community ,their databases and the public data available on the internet.
It is an easy to use app , but is freemium, so you have to pay for certain services .
It also lets users to report the Spammers and block them.
Cons: It’s directory is relatively smaller than that of truecaller.
You can download it from






2) Truecaller

Area served : Worldwide
Just visit Truecaller and with it you can find out the caller’s details from all over the globe, with details of 3Bn mobile subscribers . But you have to sign in to use it.
So First select the country using the dropdown-menu then type the number you want to look for similar to prior one.
It will ask you to sign up if you are a new user . You can sign in/sign up using your social accounts such as Google or Microsoft account.
It’s easy to use as well as user friendly,with some premium fees to lookup people who don't prefer to share their details online(you have to send contact requests to them) .
Millions of people round the world trust Truecaller for their day to day communication purposes , whether it’s identifying unknown calls or blocking spam SMS.
It has a community-based spam list supported by more than 250 million users,Truecaller overall makes your communication safe and efficient without being heavy on the pocket.
You can also download its app from

3)  whowho - Caller ID & Block
It’s amongst the popular ways to know who is calling you and also provides reverse lookup.
It’s major advantage over others is that it’s completely free app supported by ads.
Talking about the major cons of the service,you have to download the app to use the service , no Smartphone means no access to subscriber database .
Moreover,this app also has smallest directory of all three listed.
Also,this app is not available in many countries and is not available on Apple App Store as well.
If it’s available in your country you can download it from:













Few other popular Reverse Lookup providers are also in market namely:
Whitepages  - A premium service , not free to use
FindandTrace - A free service but limited to Indian users only.
PhoneLookup - A free service but limited to users in U.S only.
Spydialer - A free service again limited to U.S subscribers only.

These providers have data of more than 3Bn providers as committed by the giant in the sector;i.e Truecaller
Moreover the data available can be easily falsified in these cases.
So what about the data of others. How to reach out for the subscribers which are not listed on any social sites or any other online resource. Don't be upset you can find out about those subscribers as well but not via private apps but by government portals of different countries.
Few of them are
         etc.
These are the government portals so finding out the caller can be real tough as well as tedious out here, you have to submit applications to justify the cause and if sanctioned you can access the subscriber's data.
People in intelligence services such as RAW,CIA and others have access to reverse lookup capability to lookup and track any number which is registered to any of telecom providers in their countries respectively which is used to spy the suspects and culprits in most of the cases.


Verdict: You can use any of the listed websites or apps but I prefer TrueCaller over others because of its large community and directory.
