What you get back
Three ways to know who is calling.
What people reported
Anyone who got the call can report it. We count people, not button presses, and show each report as one person's unchecked account. A number with no reports is shown as exactly that.
See numbers people reported →Where the number started
Every UK number sits in a range Ofcom gave to a phone company on a set date. We show which one, and flag numbers in ranges that were never given out, which only a faked caller ID can show.
Browse UK area codes →Businesses that prove it
When claiming opens, a business that proves it holds a line will be shown by name, so its calls stop reading as unknown. Nobody else is ever named, and no payment changes a report.
How claiming will work →UK reverse phone lookup, explained
Whose number is this?
A phone number lookup here puts four things together: what kind of line it is, which phone company Ofcom gave its range to and when, what other people reported about calls from it, and whether a business has proved the number is its own. It is free and needs no account.
What a lookup shows you
- The type of number: landline, mobile, freephone, 03, premium rate or something else
- For a landline, the area its code was first given out to
- The phone company Ofcom gave the range to, and the date
- Whether the range was ever given out at all
- What people reported, counted once per person, with dates
What no honest lookup can show
- A private person’s name
- An address
- Where the caller is right now
- Which network the number is on today: people keep their number when they switch
Landline, mobile or something else
The first digits tell you the type of line. 01 and 02 numbers are landlines, and the code is where the number was first issued, not where the caller is. Most 07 numbers are mobiles, but 070 numbers are personal numbers that can cost a lot to ring back. 03 numbers cost the same as a landline call, and 084, 087 and 09 numbers can cost more. The UK area code list covers every code, and the phone number checker explains what each type costs.
Tracing a number that keeps calling
No lookup can trace where a caller is, and caller ID can be faked. What works is blocking the number on your phone, registering free with the Telephone Preference Service to stop sales calls, and reporting the calls: sales calls to the ICO, silent calls to Ofcom, scam texts to 7726. How to stop spam calls shows each step on iPhone and Android.
Why nobody can give you a name
There is no public directory of UK mobile numbers, and a name together with a number is personal data under UK GDPR. We never show a private person’s name, and no payment unlocks one. Can you find out who owns a phone number? explains the routes that do work.
Start here
What are you actually trying to find out?
Someone rang and did not leave a message
Paste the number above. You see what other people reported about calls from it, whether a business has proved the number is theirs, and which phone company the range was issued to. How to find out who called you walks through what to do next, step by step.
You think it was a scam
Tell us what happened and the next person who looks that number up sees it. Reporting takes about twenty seconds and needs no account. A number only reaches the list of reported numbers once people on at least two different networks have reported it, which is what stops one person deciding on their own that a number is bad.
You only want to know where it is from
The first digits place the exchange, not the caller. The UK area code list covers every geographic code and the non-geographic ranges, and explains why a local-looking number is a sales technique at least as often as it is a neighbour. For example: 0161 Manchester, 020 London, and the UK-wide 0330 and 0333 numbers.
Or start from the place instead of the digits. The A-Z of UK towns gives the area code for more than three thousand of them, with the companies Ofcom allocated the range to. For example: Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast.
It is happening several times a day
Registering, blocking and reporting each stop a different kind of call, and none of them stops all of it. How to stop spam calls in the UK sets out all three, with the limit each one runs into.
The number being reported is yours
Legitimate businesses can be flagged by mistake, for example when they call from a number nobody recognises. Claiming your number will stop it reading as unknown. It isn’t open yet; join the list to hear when it is. Cleaning a whole list is bulk verification.
You want to know how we know any of this
Fair. How GotMyNumber works explains where the identity data comes from and what we deliberately will not tell you. The FAQ answers the specific ones, and security and data protection covers what we hold.

What a lookup here will never do
It will not tell you a stranger’s name. It will not call a number safe or dangerous: a report is one person’s account of a call, and a number with no reports has usually just never been reported by anybody. The only score we show counts how many different people reported a number, and says so. Caller ID can be forged, so the number you saw may not be the number that rang you. What we will tell you is whether a business has proved it holds that line, and what other people have said about it, labelled as exactly what it is. Why we built it that way.
Questions people ask
Who called me, answered.
- Can I find out who called me from a UK number?
- Usually you can find out a lot. Paste the number into the box at the top of this page and you see what kind of line it is, which phone company Ofcom gave its range to, and what other people reported about calls from it. A private person is never named.
- Is this phone number lookup free?
- Yes. Every lookup is free, with no login, no sign-up and no pop-ups.
- Can you tell me who owns a mobile number?
- Not if it belongs to a private person. There is no public directory of UK mobile numbers, and a name linked to a number is personal data under UK GDPR, so we never show one and no payment unlocks one.
- What does “reported by” mean on a number?
- It is how many different people told us they got a call from that number, counted once per person. A report is that person’s account of the call, not a verdict on the number, and a number with no reports has usually just never been reported.
- What if the number was withheld or private?
- Then there is no number to look up. On a BT landline, 1471 tells you the last number that called you, unless the caller withheld it.
