Call someone but you never get a reply and wonder if the person has blocked you or changed their phone number? If you’re looking to get in touch but don’t feel like asking directly, don’t worry. This post will show you the best ways to find someone’s new phone number easily and confidentially!

Method 1 – Make a call or send a text

If you haven’t tried calling the number to confirm your doubts, do it right now. This is the most straightforward way to check if the person has changed his/her number. If you receive a blank tone or the call is cut off, it’s possible that you’ve been blocked. You can also try calling from a different phone number.

In most cases, you’ll get an immediate response if the number is disconnected or suspended. And if the call leads to a voicemail, that means the number is still active.

Alternatively, you could send a text message to the phone number. Failed attempts may indicate the person has changed the number. If you’re using iMessage, a failed message will never appear as ‘delivered’ or ‘sent’.

Method 2 – Use a people search engine

People search engine is one of the most convenient ways for you to look up someone’s contact information. By sifting through millions of phone directories and public records and updating on a regular basis, they offer you quick and simple access to learn about an individual.

To find someone’s latest phone number and contact (email address or address), you’ll just search by his/her real name, or one of the person’s old phone numbers with the tools below:

1. Intelius

Founded in 2003, Intelius is a reliable source for phone number searches and comprehensive background checks. It scours more than 20 billion public records sources and allows you to view essential and reliable information for various purposes. You could track a lost friend, a former colleague, or an estranged family member. Or you can gain a deeper insight into anyone you’re dealing with, an online date, or a potential scammer.

1. Go to the Intelius phone lookup page.
2. Enter the person’s old number and click Search. Or switch to the Name tab to input a name.
   
3. Wait a few minutes until the searching process finishes. Intelius will offer you detailed reports. After purchasing a membership plan, you can unlock it to check out the person’s contact info and acquire a lot more available details.

2. BeenVerified

BeenVerified is a powerful search engine featuring multiple tools for looking up people, properties, and even vehicles. All you need is to provide a piece of relevant information, like a name, a phone number, or an address, and it will organize all the in-depth and trustworthy data in a comprehensible report.

1. Navigate to the BeenVerified homepage.
2. Choose your preferred search option, depending on the information you have about the person, by name, phone number, email, or address. Fill in the field and click Search.
   
3. Unlock the completed report to see if it lists any new member you don’t know.
   

Method 3 – Check on social media

Social media displays a lot of contact details of an individual publicly. If you have a person’s social media account, whether it’s Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter, simply check the person’s profile and see if (s)he updated the phone number. People who are active online tend to keep their contact info public and up-to-date.

To find phone number on Facebook:

Click the person’s Facebook profile at the About page > Contact and basic info section.

To find phone number on LinkedIn:

1. Go to the user’s profile page and click Contact info.
   
2. Check for the phone number.
   

If there’s nothing helpful on the profile, try sending a direct message through the platform and ask if they changed the phone number.

Method 4 – Take advantage of WhatsApp

If you have added the person to your WhatsApp contact list, you’ll get notified when the person changes their phone number on WhatsApp. This trick also works if both of you are in a WhatsApp group. When the group members change their numbers, the app will prompt you to view the new ones and add them to your contact list.

However, if the notification setting was turned off, which means the person didn’t choose to inform the contacts of his/her new number, you won’t get any alerts.

That’s it – how to know if someone changed their number without asking the person directly. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment below.
