Ever received bizarre phone calls from strange numbers? You might’ve checked and noticed it’s registered under Level 3 Communications LLC. If you want to trace the number to the caller, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, we’ll share how to run a Level 3 Communications Number Lookup and gather more information about the owner.

What is a Level 3 Communications Number and how to trace it?

Level 3 Communications, now part of CenturyLink, offers VoIP numbers. That means one can use the number to make phone calls through an Internet connection. They are cheap and quite easy to get, hence welcomed by many people – including scammers.

Tracing a VoIP number to its owner is a bit harder than doing so with a traditional number. Because its area code can change to one’s preference. But it’s possible. For example, if the number is used to create social profiles or is marked as spam, you’ll find traces online. Read on to find out how.

1. Search for it on Google

As you look up the Level 3 Communications number, you could always try searching for it on search engines like Google and Bing, as they are free of charge. For example, if someone mentioned the number on social platforms like Reddit, a Google search will pull out related posts where you can find out more information from there.

1. Go to Google.
2. Enter the Level 3 number and hit Enter. Then look through the results and check if there’s anything that can help you identify the caller.
   

If you don’t find much information there, chances are the number is newly activated and didn’t leave many traces. Besides, normal search engines don’t collect data from social media. To get more promising results, you can try an advanced tool.

2. Run a reverse phone number lookup

A reverse phone number lookup tool is like a targeted version of search engines. With access to multiple sources, it can increase the chance to find the owner as you do a Level 3 Communications number lookup. Here are the two that we tried and trust.

Intelius

Intelius is one of the top reverse phone number lookup tools in the people search industry. With its access to a large amount of publicly available data sources including government documents and social media platforms, it stands a better chance to help you search for the potential owner of a phone number and their related information.

1. Go to Intelius.
2. Enter the number and click SEARCH.
   
3. Wait until it finishes the search process and click the VIEW RESULTS button. Enter your email address to view the basic information about the number.
   
4. To view the full report that may include the owner’s contact info, addresses, social accounts, and more, you’ll need to purchase a subscription plan.

BeenVerified

BeenVerified is a strong people search tool that offers a reverse phone number lookup feature. It also has access to a large reservoir of public data, which can give you an edge as you trace the owner of a phone number. Simply enter the Level 3 number, and it can bring back much useful information that may help you identify the caller.

1. Go to BeenVerified.
2. Enter the number, and click SEARCH.
   
3. Wait a few moments as BeenVerified searches through its data sources and generate a report.
4. On the report page, there is a navigation bar on the left to help you easily access the information that you’re interested in. For example, the Potential Owners section.
   
5. Note that BeenVerified is a subscription-based service and you’ll need to purchase a membership plan to view the full report.

What do we like about BeenVerified?
BeenVerified is an all-around search service. With one subscription, you can access its other search services like username, email address, and address lookups.

3. Find clues from linked social profiles

Finding the social media accounts linked to the phone number is another way to identify the owner of a Level 3 Communications number only if you can find them. However, directly searching for the number doesn’t work so well on social apps.

Try this: by syncing your contacts, you can find possible social accounts linked to the target phone number. Take Instagram as an example.

1. Add the number to the contact list of your phone.
2. Open Instagram, go to your profile page and click the hamburger icon in the top right corner.
   
3. Go to Settings – Account – Contacts syncing, and set the button to ON.
   
4. You should find the account linked to the number on your page.
   

Note that you’ll need some patience to open each social media app and sync contacts one by one and check for possible hits. If you’d prefer a fast and cross-platform search, give Intelius a try.
