ReverseLookup

Pros: identifying unknown callers worked perfectly. entered a number that had called me three times, and within seconds got a full name, city, and two social media profiles attached

Cons: wish the site remembered my last few searches so i didn't have to re-enter numbers

Overall: a buddy asked me to check on someone they matched with online. ran the number and the reverse Lookup report was clean - name matched, socials looked normal, no weird flags.

Pros: The structured output helps to break everything down into nice and clear sections – identity, contact information, social media, addresses – so you're not scrolling through a wall of unorganized text.

Cons: The trial credits run out quicker than you think if you're looking up more than one number.

Overall: I wanted to check the validity of a recruiter who contacted me for a job listing. I looked up the number on reverselookup.com, and the name did correspond with their LinkedIn profile. It was a good feeling going into that interview.

Pros: Tested the reverse phone search on three numbers that had been blowing up my phone with robocalls. Each number came back with a name and contact information that verified them as junk callers.

Cons: Would like to see a feature to search multiple numbers at once rather than having to search each one individually.

Overall: These robocalls were driving me crazy so I finally decided to look them up. Each and every one of them came back as being associated with known spam numbers. Now I can just block and forget.

Pros: The fact that quick results are a definite plus here. Most of the searches returned results in seconds, with names, locations, and associated profiles, and the simple layout made it all easy to sift through.

Cons: Some of the social media links returned profiles that didn't appear to be exact matches.

Overall: Gave it a try after receiving a weird text about a delivery that I never ordered. the report provided a name and a general location, which was helpful – although one of the associated profiles seemed a bit sketchy.

Pros: The reverse phone search provided a complete analysis - name, previous addresses, social media sites, and potential relatives were all accounted for, and the report truly did seem complete.

Cons: The sign-up process has one too many verification steps before you can begin searching.

Overall: Was about to send money to a landlord found online. Decided to check the number first and the name on the report didn't match the listing at all. Glad it happened that way.

Pros: Phone number search results included accurate carrier data, complete names, and even linked email addresses. The entire search process, from inputting a number to analyzing the results, took less than a minute.

Cons: It would be awesome to get a notification for any new information added to a previous search.

Overall: Someone slid into my DMs with a number to "move the convo off the app" and nah, looked up that number real quick. ReverseLookup had a marked name – dodged that one for sure.

Pros: the public info scan brought up related profiles and addresses that i wouldn’t have otherwise discovered on my own. it really does put scattered public info in one place that’s easy to read

Cons: the homepage is pretty busy and could use a cleaner introduction

Overall: had a situation with a neighbor and was curious about the new person who moved in next door. searched their number and learned enough to put me at ease about it 😊

Pros: Finding out who the unknown number belonged to was smooth sailing. Entered the number, and the full name, related addresses, and even social media handles appeared in seconds.

Cons: The FAQ page could use a video tutorial for new users.

Overall: Had a tenant applicant provide me with a callback number that looked fishy. Used ReverseLookup, and the name corresponded to the applicant’s name.

Pros: The structure of the reports is honestly excellent. Each part, from identity to digital footprint, is well and truly sectioned off, making it easy to locate exactly what you are searching for.

Cons: One thing I would like to see is the ability to export or download a PDF copy of the report.

Overall: Did a search on a number for a person selling concert tickets on Facebook Marketplace, and the report showed that their identity matched their profile. Felt much safer doing the transaction.

Pros: Used a suspicious number on the phone search and immediately found a name associated with several fraud complaints. The organized results made it very easy to evaluate.

Cons: The loading animation pauses for a second before displaying results, which was just a slight delay.

Overall: Continued to receive voicemails from a number claiming to be my bank. Used it here and the name was not associated with any of my bank branches. Definitely prevented a phishing scam.

Pros: The phone search function is really useful. Provided full names, potential relatives, and social media profiles for most of the numbers searched, which is more than I expected.

Cons: Some reports had sections that returned nothing, which was a little frustrating.

Overall: Used this service to look up a suspicious number that left a voicemail about a package that was never ordered. Got enough information to know it was a scam call.

Pros: The quick results are the best part of this. Ran five different numbers and all of the results came back in under fifteen seconds with names, emails, and location history.

Cons: Would be great to have a dark mode for viewing reports late at night, to be honest.

Overall: A friend of mine started dating someone new from a dating site and asked me to look into them. Ran the number through this and the Reverse Lookup report came back clean - no red flags.

Pros: phone number lookup always gave me the correct name and location for every number i looked up. it also loaded quickly and was easy to read.

Cons: filtering or sorting previous searches isn’t super intuitive at the moment.

Overall: this random number has been calling me twice a week and i finally decided to look it up. it was a pharmacy reminder that i had forgotten that i had signed up for.

Pros: The public info scan provided me with very detailed and organized information. Names, addresses, social profiles, and even related family members were all organized in a very easy-to-read format.

Cons: An explanation of what each part of the report is for would be helpful for new users.

Overall: Scanned a number that appeared on my partner's phone from a job ad, and the report told me it was a legitimate hiring company.

Pros: Reverse lookup gave me search results in like ten seconds flat - full name, carrier data, and associated social media accounts all popped up without me having to search around at all.

Cons: The mobile version of the website could use a slight layout adjustment for smaller mobile screens.

Overall: I've been getting non-stop spam calls lately, so I tried a few of them out in reverse lookup and finally was able to track down who was behind them. I'm pretty relieved, actually, the information was legit.

Pros: The clean layout makes it easy to navigate through reports. Everything is organized well, from contact information to digital footprint, and nothing is hard to understand.

Cons: It would be great if the search bar allowed you to auto-format phone numbers as you type them in.

Overall: Tested out a few numbers from unknown callers, and all the reports were organized well. It’s one of those tools that you didn’t know you needed until you started using it.

Pros: finding out who unknown callers are worked really well for the numbers i tried. showed me names, locations, and even a couple of email addresses associated with each result.

Cons: some of the address information looked a little dated for one of my searches.

Overall: good tool for what it does, although one of the reports had dated information. tried it out on a weird number from a craigslist seller and it gave me enough information to feel safe.

Pros: Public info scan yielded a surprisingly comprehensive report - got the name of the person who called, potential family members, and associated social media pages all in one tidy page.

Cons: The trial pricing explanation could be a little more forthcoming on the landing page.

Overall: Used it to scan a contractor who was bidding on roof work for me. Scanned the number, got the name, cross-referenced it - and to be honest, felt a heck of a lot better about proceeding.

Pros: the number search brought up a name, connected social media pages, and even some old addresses in a matter of seconds. the structured output made it a breeze to scan through everything.

Cons: wish there was a way to highlight or tag search results so you can come back to them later.

Overall: had to look up a number that was texting my mom repeatedly, and it brought up the information quickly with good detail. the format is nice and easy to read.
