How To Detect An Unknown Caller Fastest Methods

Many people have been receiving spam calls or unwanted numbers, which generally are not saved on their phone. This can be very frustrating, and you would certainly be looking for ways to put an end to that. This article will teach how to detect an unknown caller.

First of all, let’s look at how people hide their phone numbers when they call you.

You can do this easily due to the no ID feature. Making this type of call makes the person at the other end of the line see your call as an unknown call.

You have to dial *67, followed by the number you wish to call.

This will then block your caller ID. This feature usually prevents people from tracking your number, although some people have instead been using it for different forms of nefarious activities.

We advise our readers not to try any nefarious activities with this no ID feature and do so at your own risk.

Now, let us look at how we can unmask an unknown caller. Once you have found them, you will be able to block them from calling you.

How To Detect An Unknown Caller Fastest Methods

Calling The Phone Company

Phone companies usually have a record of all your previous calls, and it is possible that you can find the identity of the unknown caller from them.

Call your phone company and then tell them of the unwanted, unknown calls you receive.

The phone company will then enable a service that will track the caller’s identity when they call you again.

However, not all phone companies offer this kind of service to their customers. You should still call your phone company and ask them if they offer the service.

Trapcall

Trapcall is one of the ways people can unmask unknown callers and block those numbers. The app allows you to unmask any number and their address and photo of their caller ID. You can then put the numbers on a blacklist which will then disconnect them from being able to call you.

They will typically receive a message saying that their number has been disconnected or is not in service. You can use Trapcall by subscribing to their service on their website by signing up. You will then be asked to activate the Trapcall service on your mobile phone.

It does not take very long, and the whole procedure can be done in minutes. Trapcall is available for Android and IOS devices. They also offer a free trial version before you can get real serious with them.

Truecaller

This is a popular app with well over 150 million users worldwide used to unmask unknown callers. It is available on several platforms. You will need to check your app store to see if you can download it from there. We do not advise downloading from an untrusted source from Google.
