Have you received a mysterious phone call or text and wondered who the owner is? Intuitively, running a Google search would be an option. But in case it’s not yielding any useful results, you can use a reverse phone directory tool to help you find out the name associated with the phone number. And here are 3 of the best…

Option 1 – Intelius

Intelius is a powerful reverse phone number lookup tool. Just enter the phone number, then it may track down its owner and generate a detailed report for you. All the searches are conducted privately and legally, and the owner will not be notified that you pulled a report about them.

1. Head to the Intelius Reverse Phone Number Lookup.
2. Enter the phone number and click SEARCH.
   
3. Sit tight as Intelius scours its data sources. If it locates a match, it will generate a detailed report about the phone number and its possible owner. To access the report, you will need to purchase a membership plan.
   The above image is a sample Intelius report. An actual Intelius report may contain more or less information.

Option 2 – BeenVerified

BeenVerified is my personal favorite tool to find the owner of a phone number. With millions of data points in its database, it gives you the power to search the owner’s name, photos, locations, jobs, social media profiles, and more if available. BeenVerified culls its data from a wide range of sources, which explains why its reports are often freakishly accurate.

Step 1: Go to BeenVerified Phone Lookup.

Step 2: Enter the phone number and click SEARCH.

Step 3: Click to unlock the report when it’s ready. From there, you’ll get an overview of the phone type, carrier of the phone number, as well as person’s specifics about its owner.

Option 3 – Spokeo

Spokeo is a well-reputed name finder by phone number. As an AT&T-accredited reverse phone lookup tool, it is most optimized for unlocking social media profiles. Currently, it supports searching a phone number from public databases and 120+ social websites, which include Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and so on.

1. Go to Spokeo phone lookup.
2. Enter the 10-digit phone number you wish to trace and click SEARCH NOW.
