Who called from the number? The best ways to find out name, family and company for free

We’ve all been stopped when we called an unfamiliar number and needed to find out who was calling.

This can be done quickly and easily. find several ways to determine the number.

Each of them has its own subtleties, which we are talking about now.

1. Yandex Caller ID

The Yandex application has a built-in caller ID that shows who is calling. You won’t recognize the caller’s name, but you will be able to understand how the calls are organized and whether it’s worth waiting for the call.

Tinkoff, Sber, MTS, VK and 2GIS have similar definitions of numbers. We’ll tell you how to enable it using Yandex as an example.

How to enable Yandex number identification

1. download the Yandex application
2. Open iOS Settings → Applications → Phone → Call Blocking and Identification
3. Check the box next to Yandex Caller ID.

How to check a number via Yandex

1. Open recent calls on iOS
2. Next to the number you want, click the letter i icon
3. Click the button Share contact → Done
4. Click the button View in Yandex

It is worth noting that Yandex is good at identifying telephone scammers.

2. We are looking for a person through a bank

You can find out the name of an unfamiliar subscriber through Sber. To do this, it is enough to start the money transfer process, and you do not need to transfer the money yourself. At the confirmation stage, Sber indicates the person’s first name, patronymic and first letter of the last name.

If the number does not match Sber, you can try through another bank or Faster Payment Service.

This method shows data, since a phone number is required to issue a bank card. But there is always a fear that the number is actually registered by another person.

3. Check your profile on Telegram and WhatsApp.

There is a possibility that an unfamiliar number will make a decision on your Telegram and WhatsApp profile. To check this, enter the phone number in the phone book, and then go to the messenger on the “Contacts” tab or through the search.

In the messenger you can see a person’s profile photo, date of birth and, possibly, additional information provided by the user himself.

4. We study the results in Google and Yandex.

Search engines can also provide information about a phone number. For example, which operator it belongs to and where it is registered.

The mechanism here is simple: just enter the number into the search text and study the results.

If the number belongs to the organization or this work contact, then you’ll probably learn even more.

5. Trying to find a person on VKontakte

VKontakte Allows you to find people by phone number. The main thing is that it is saved in your contacts and has a profile on a social network.

How to find a person on VKontakte by phone number

1. add phone number to contacts
2. Open VK application
3. Go to description Menu → Friends
4. Click the button Add friends from contacts
5. The app will request access to the contact by providing it

Now all that remains is to find a stranger. But this will not be so easy to do, because VKontakte does not show the phone number, first and last name from the phone book. You will have to independently study all the proposed profiles.

Also, VKontakte users can prohibit searching for themselves by phone number, and if a person turns on this option, then you will not be able to find him.

This method also works with other popular social networks.

6. Getcontact and similar applications (better not)

If you are unable to find a person using the above methods, you can use the Getcontact application (App Store, Google Play) or its equivalent.

Getcontact has a large database of phone numbers with user comments, so there are great opportunities to find out who called you, and even how this person signed up with others.

But you can use Getcontact and its analogues at your own peril and risk. When using on-site applications to count users’ phone books, access to contacts is requested upon registration.

Getcontact is known for its privacy problems and is banned in some countries.

Brief summary

We talked only about working and legal ways of choosing a person. Most likely one of them should work.

If you know the number, name and photograph of a person, you can find a lot of information about him on the Internet.

It is also worth considering that there are risks that no one will detect. This is possible if a person tracks his information on the Internet and does not link his phone number anywhere.
