Do you ever get calls from numbers that don’t show up on your caller ID? These calls can be from a variety of sources, including telemarketers, scammers, and even friends or family members who have their caller ID blocked.
If you’re not sure who is calling you, there are a few things you can do to identify the number.
Use a Caller ID Lookup Service
There are a number of websites and apps that allow you to search for phone numbers and identify the caller. Some of these services are free, while others charge a fee. When choosing a caller ID lookup service, be sure to read reviews and compare features to find one that is right for you.
*Dial 57
This service, which is available on most major carriers, will trace the last call that came in with a blocked or no caller ID. You will then be able to call back the number at your own expense.
Google the Number
If you don’t have any luck with the above methods, you can try searching for the number on Google. There are a number of websites that track phone numbers and report on their history.
It’s important to note that not all caller ID lookup services are accurate. If you’re not sure about the legitimacy of a service, it’s best to do some research before using it.
Here are some additional tips for dealing with no caller ID calls:
- Don’t answer calls from numbers you don’t recognize. If you’re not expecting a call from a particular number, it’s best to let it go to voicemail.
- If you do answer a call from an unknown number, be cautious. Don’t give out any personal information, and don’t click on any links that the caller sends you.
- If you think you’re being harassed by a caller, report the calls to your phone company and the police.
By following these tips, you can protect yourself from unwanted calls and identify the source of any unknown calls that you do receive.
