没有多少人喜欢接听来自未知来电者的电话。也许这让你感到焦虑，或者你想避免与电话推销员交谈或接听自动电话的风险(robocall)。无论哪种方式，有几种方法可以找出来电者的姓名和号码。
在本文中，我们将向您展示如何找出未知来电者的号码。您可以拨打链接到公共数据库的特殊服务、查看某些网站或使用来电显示应用程序(caller ID apps)。识别您的来电者并阻止随机陌生人浪费您的宝贵时间。
1.拨*69
如果你曾经在给某人打电话时使用 *67 来隐藏你的电话号码，那么你可能对 *69 也很熟悉。该服务与*67相反。通过在未知来电者的未接电话后立即拨打 *69，您可以追踪他们的号码，以及他们的姓名和地址（如果他们在公共数据库中列出）。该服务甚至适用于匿名或隐藏呼叫。您可以显示隐藏的电话号码，以及他们打电话给您的确切时间。
使用此信息给他们回电并验证电话是诈骗电话还是垃圾邮件。不要期望与垃圾邮件发送者和诈骗者进行文明对话。您不会说服他们将您从他们的通话清单中删除。相反，请阻止他们的号码，这样您就不会再接到不需要的电话了。
请记住，并非所有电话公司都提供此服务，有些公司可能会根据您的电话套餐收费。不要(Don)对下一次电话费的额外费用感到惊讶。该服务也仅在美国(USA)提供，适用于移动电话和固定电话。
2.拨*57
与*69 类似，此服务仅由部分电话公司提供，且需额外收费。不同之处在于，只有当您确定未知来电者正在骚扰您时，您才应该使用 *57。这是因为拨打 *57 会自动将您与当地执法人员联系起来。然后，警察(Police)将能够跟踪您收到的不需要的电话并采取行动。如果这是您需要的服务，请务必在拨打 *57 后联系您当地的警察以确认您需要他们的服务。
谨慎使用(Use)*57，并且只有在您绝对确定需要额外帮助才能摆脱不需要的电话时。
3.联系电话公司
您的电话服务提供商可能会帮助您找出未知来电者的号码。他们将为您提供来电和去电的日志，以及未屏蔽的未知来电号码。这可能足以让您处理此事，但电话公司可以为您提供更多详细信息。如果信息可用，您可以找到烦人的来电者的姓名和地址，以及他们的电话公司。
电话公司也可以提供匿名来电显示(Anonymous Caller ID)服务。这意味着，如果启用了该服务，您的手机将检查每个拨打您号码的电话的真实性。如果有人试图从隐藏号码呼叫您，匿名来电显示(Anonymous Caller ID)服务将强制他们在与您的手机建立连接之前透露他们的号码。然后，您将能够在手机屏幕上
看到来电显示。(Caller ID)
移动(Mobile)电话运营商甚至可以帮助您对抗自动电话，每月收取额外费用。但请记住，这项服务仍然是新的，它可能不是 100% 可靠的。
4. 安装应用程序
您可以安装各种手机应用程序并将其用作电话号码跟踪工具。这些应用程序将在在线数据库中查找有关未知呼叫者的信息，并显示他们的详细信息，例如姓名、地址和电话号码。然后，您可以选择报告和阻止垃圾邮件发送者、电话推销员或自动电话。
明智地选择未知来电显示应用程序，因为它们中的大多数都没有连接到丰富的数据库和电话目录。阅读应用评论并了解其他人的体验。请(Keep)记住，有些应用程序是免费的，但有些应用程序有每月付款计划。以下是经过用户测试和验证的几个应用程序：
1.已验证(BeenVerified)
此应用程序是获取未知但显示号码的详细信息的绝佳选择。它将使您免于手动搜索其背后的电话号码和详细信息。BeenVerified拥有一个包含数十亿电话号码的数据库，只需两个步骤，它就可以让您知道谁是不受欢迎的电话的幕后黑手。您所要做的就是导航到搜索栏，输入电话号码，然后等待几秒钟让应用程序显示所有信息。
2.辐条(Spokeo)
这是一个完全免费的智能手机应用程序，可以跟踪电话号码。它有一个反向电话查找选项，一旦您输入电话号码，它将显示详细信息，例如呼叫者的姓名、他们的地址、当前位置、社交媒体资料等等。
3.陷阱呼叫(TrapCall)
TrapCall是一款可以揭开被屏蔽和隐藏号码的应用程序。如果没有显示来电显示，您可以使用此应用程序。除了透露私人号码，TrapCall还提供其他服务。它可以自动阻止垃圾邮件发送者，将不需要的号码列入黑名单，并记录电话。TrapCall适用于 iOS 和Android设备。
这个应用程序类似于 TrapCall。它只会让所有电话都通过应用程序，并显示电话号码。它还具有基于社区报告的垃圾邮件列表，并将通知您任何不需要的电话。但是，要使用此应用程序，您的手机需要不断访问 wifi 或至少 3G 网络。
5. 检查网站
如果您不想在手机上安装额外的应用程序，您可以随时选择通过某些网站手动搜索电话号码。有几个站点可以识别电话号码(sites to identify a phone number)，因此请务必查看我们关于其中最好的站点的文章。前面提到的一些应用程序，例如TrueCaller，其网站具有丰富的数据库。
6. 让未知来电者静音
对于那里的所有 iPhone 用户，如果您想阻止未知电话，则无需为发现未知号码而烦恼。Apple为他们的设备制作了一个简洁的小功能，称为Silence Unknown Callers。这意味着当不在您的联系人列表中的号码呼叫您时，您的电话根本不会响铃。他们仍然可以留下语音邮件、向您发送SMS并注册为未接来电。
请按照以下步骤打开此功能：
1. 导航到设置(Settings)，然后是电话(Phone)。
2. 选择静音未知呼叫者(Silence Unknown Callers)标题。
3. 滑动标题旁边的切换开关以启用它。
如果您找不到谁给您打电话并且您不想回答随机的陌生人，只需让他们沉默即可。
How to Find Out an Unknown Caller’s Number
Not many peoрle like answering phone calls coming from υnknown callеrs. Maybe it makes you anxious or mаybe you want to avoid thе rіsk of talking to a telemarketer or answering a robocall. Either way, there are several ways of finding out the name and number of the caller.
In this article, we’ll show you how to find out an unknown caller’s number. You can dial special services linked to public databases, check certain websites, or use caller ID apps. Identify your caller and stop random strangers from wasting your precious time.
1. Dial *69
If you ever used *67 to conceal your phone number when calling someone, you might be familiar with *69 too. This service is the opposite of *67. By dialing *69 immediately after a missed call from an unknown caller, you can trace their number, as well as their name and address if they are listed in a public database. The service works even for anonymous or hidden calls. You can reveal a hidden phone number, and the exact time they called you.
Use this information to call them back and verify if the call was a scam or spam. Don’t expect a civilized conversation with spammers and scammers. You won’t persuade them to remove you from their call list. Instead, block their number so you never receive unwanted calls again.
Keep in mind that not all phone companies offer this service and some may charge for it depending on your phone plan. Don’t be surprised by additional costs on your next phone bill. The service is also available only in the USA and works for both mobile and landlines.
2. Dial *57
Similar to *69, this service is offered only by some phone companies, and at an extra charge. The difference is that you should use *57 only when you are certain that the unknown caller is harassing you. This is because dialing *57 will automatically connect you with your local law enforcement officials. Police will then be able to track the unwanted calls you receive and act upon them. If this is the service you need, please make sure to contact your local police after dialing *57 to confirm that you need their services.
Use *57 with caution, and only when you are absolutely sure you need extra help to get rid of the unwanted phone calls.
3. Contact the Phone Company
Your phone service provider might be able to help you find out the number of an unknown caller. They will provide you with the log of your incoming and outcoming calls, with the unmasked unknown caller’s number. This might be enough for you to take the matter into your hands, but the phone company can give you even more details. If the information is available, you can find out the name and address of the annoying caller, as well as their phone company.
Phone companies can also provide the Anonymous Caller ID service. This means that if the service is enabled, your phone will check the authenticity of each call made to your number. If someone tries calling you from a hidden number, the Anonymous Caller ID service will force them to reveal their number before the connection with your phone is made. Then you will be able to see the Caller ID on your phone screen.
Mobile phone carriers can even help you fight robocalls for an extra monthly charge. But keep in mind this service is still new and it might not be 100% reliable.
4. Install An App
There are various apps for mobile phones that you can install and use as phone number tracking tools. These apps will look up the online databases for information on unknown callers, and display their details such as name, address, and phone number. You can then opt to report and block the spammers, telemarketers, or robocalls.
Choose the unknown caller ID app wisely, as most of them are not connected to rich databases and phone directories. Read the app reviews and see what other people’s experiences are. Keep in mind some apps are free, but others have monthly payment plans. Here are several apps that are tested and verified by users:
This app is an excellent choice for acquiring details of an unknown, but displayed number. It will save you from manually searching for the phone number and details behind it. BeenVerified has a database with billions of phone numbers and in just two steps it will let you know who is behind an unwanted phone call. All you have to do is navigate to the search bar, type in the phone number, and wait a few seconds for the app to display all the information.
This is a completely free app for smartphones that can track phone numbers. It has an option of reverse phone lookup, where once you enter the phone number, it will display the details such as the name of the caller, their address, current location, social media profiles, and much more.
TrapCall is an app that can unmask blocked and hidden numbers. You can use this app if there is no caller ID displayed. Aside from revealing private numbers, TrapCall offers other services. It can automatically block spammers, blacklist unwanted numbers, and record the calls. TrapCall is available for both iOS and Android devices.
This app is similar to TrapCall. It will simply make all calls go through the app, and reveal the phone numbers. It also has a spam list based on the community reports and will notify you of any unwanted calls. However, to use this app your phone needs to have constant access to wifi or at least a 3G network.
5. Check Websites
If you don’t want an extra app installed on your cell phone, you can always opt to manually search for phone numbers via certain websites. There are several sites to identify a phone number, so make sure to check our article about the best of them. Some of the apps mentioned earlier, such as TrueCaller, have their websites with rich databases.
6. Silence Unknown Callers
For all the iPhone users out there, you don’t need to be bothered with discovering unknown numbers if you want to block unknown calls. Apple made a neat little feature for their devices, called Silence Unknown Callers. That means that when a number that is not in your contact list calls you, your phone simply won’t ring. They can still leave a voicemail, send you an SMS, and be registered as a missed call.
Follow these steps to turn on this feature:
1. Navigate to Settings, and then Phone.
2. Select the Silence Unknown Callers heading.
3. Slide the toggle next to the heading to enable it.
If you can’t find out who called you and you don’t want to answer random strangers, simply silence them.
