What a free lookup shows

  • Caller ID name. The name the phone company has on record for the number’s caller ID (often called CNAM). Businesses and landlines usually have one; many cell phones show only a city or nothing.
  • Carrier. The phone company that serves the number today, even if it was moved from another company.
  • Line type. Mobile, landline, VoIP (internet phone) or toll-free. A VoIP number can be set up in minutes online, which is worth knowing when a stranger calls.
  • Where it’s from. The city and state where the number was first handed out. People keep their numbers when they move, so it’s where the number is from, not where anyone is now.

When you need more than caller ID

A caller ID name only tells you what’s on file for the line. If you’re renting to someone, lending to them or checking out a buyer, the full report adds who the number belongs to, their current address and their real FICO® Score 4 with a credit profile. Because that’s credit data, you confirm a permissible purpose first, such as the person’s consent or their application. Caller ID doesn’t need one.

Questions

Is this caller ID lookup really free?

Yes. You get three free lookups a day with no sign-up and no card. A number that isn’t in service doesn’t use one.

What is a caller ID name (CNAM)?

It’s the short name, up to 15 characters, that phone companies keep on file for a number and show on caller ID. Businesses and landlines usually set one. Many mobile numbers have none, or show only a city.

Does it show who owns the number?

No. The free lookup shows the caller ID name on record, which can be a person, a business or nothing at all, and it isn’t proof of who uses the number today. The full report identifies the person and needs a permissible purpose.

Why does it say my lookups are used up?

You’ve used today’s three free lookups. Come back tomorrow for more, or get caller ID lookups every month with a membership: 100 with Basic and 1,000 with Platinum.

Can I look up international numbers?

Not yet. The free tool covers U.S. numbers with a 10-digit area code and number.
