Because Knowledge Puts You In Control

Why is it important to identify an unknown number?

See below for a few examples of why thousands of people daily choose AnswerLady's reverse phone look-up to identify an unknown number.

  • Sarah has broken off a relationship with a very controlling ex, only to receive hang-ups or missed calls several times a day from a new number she used this tool to find out if it was her ex calling or a random telemarketer.
  • Henry isn't comfortable responding, "New Phone Who Dis?" when he receives a text from someone he doesn't know – he uses the reverse phone look-up to find out if it's a friend or a potential fraudster.
  • Amy got a new phone, but a few contacts transferred over without a name, so she keeps getting “unknown caller” or "possibly Sally Sue" when these friends call. She used the reverse phone look-up to clean up her contacts.
  • Other reasons people use AnswerLady to look-up a phone number include: Looking up an old phone number to find someone's current contact information. Identifying unknown callers to reduce your risk to scams. Stop harassment from a caller who is aggressive in the number of times or hours that they call. Verifying someone that you have only known online, but plan to meet in person.
