Who called me? Check a phone number

Type or paste a number, or paste the whole message. You don't need the country code: we work it out. You'll see what's known about the number itself: the country, the line type, the area for landlines, the time there now, and whether calling back may cost more. It runs in your browser.

We never show who owns a number. Private owners' names are personal data, and we hold no directory.

The number is checked in your browser and isn't sent to us. If you paste a message, it stays on your device. If you tap the Google search link, Google receives the number.

What to do now

Don't call back an unknown number from abroad, especially after a single ring.
Never share a code you get by text, or your card or bank details, with someone who called you. Banks and companies don't ask for them by phone.
If the caller said they were from a company, call the company on a number from its website, a bill or your card.

Block the number

iPhone: from the Phone app, tap Recents, then tap the phone number or contact you want to block or the Info button in Classic view. Scroll down, then tap Block Caller. Apple Support: block phone numbers and contacts
Android (Phone by Google app): open your Phone app, tap More > Call history, tap a call from the number that you want to block, then tap Block/report spam. Other phone apps may use different steps. Phone app Help (Google): block or unblock a phone number

Report it

Portugal: ANACOM says it cannot investigate these calls. If you lost money, complain to the PSP or GNR police, or the Ministério Público.

Spain: report to the Policía Nacional or Guardia Civil. For help, call INCIBE on 017. To report a premium-rate service that seems to break the rules, you can file a report with the Oficina de Atención al Usuario de Telecomunicaciones.

UK: forward the number by text to 7726 (free). If you lost money, contact your bank and your phone company, and Report Fraud (in Scotland, Police Scotland on 101).

How it works

We use Google's open-source libphonenumber data to check whether the number fits a national numbering plan, which country it belongs to, what type of line it is, the area of a landline and the time zones it is used in.
If you leave out the country code, we read the number as one from the country your browser's language and time zone point to. If it also fits other countries, we list them.
For Spanish mobile numbers we can also show the network the range was originally given to. Numbers can move networks, so it may not be today's network.
Everything runs in your browser. The number data files are downloaded from this site when the page opens, so the number you type isn't sent anywhere.
We can't see who owns a number, or which network it uses today.

Number, area and time-zone data: Google libphonenumber (Apache License 2.0), via libphonenumber-js (MIT). Licences

Questions

Can you tell me who called?

No. We never show names. A private person's number is personal data, and we hold no directory of owners.

Why does it say the caller ID was probably changed?

Criminals can make any number appear on your screen. If the number shown doesn't fit the numbering plan, it most likely didn't come from a real line. Check you typed it correctly first.

Is the network shown the one the number uses now?

Not necessarily. We show the network the number range was originally given to. People can keep their number when they switch, and we can't see that.

Is the number I type saved or sent anywhere?

No. The check runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored.

Why are there no user reports or comments?

Comments about numbers can be wrong or unfair to the person who owns the number, and spoofed numbers belong to innocent people. So this checker shows only facts about the number range.
