3. Find Unknown Number Details Using Facebook
Won't be it awesome, retrieving all the details of an unknown number through Facebook. I feel this is the second best way after Truecaller. First, let's see how this works: Typically, Facebook use your email id to create an account.
But if you lack an email id Facebook lets you create an account with only a phone number. Once Facebook ingests the number in its database, then you can search such user by mobile number. See Also: - Tips to Improve Your Internet Safety
But there is a drawback; this method has a lower chance of succeeding than other methods. Because
- Still, an enormous amount of people doesn't upload their numbers on Facebook.
- And Facebook privacy policy suggests that you should hide your number from the public. So, the typed phone number in the search box won't get any results.
4. Contacting Police or Cyber cell
If it's an ignorant threatening call or an unethical call, the safe and secure way is to inform the police or the cyber cell. They will investigate your case and come up with the details early than usual. This could be an expensive process, though.
Other than the above methods, you can call to unknown caller from another number and behave like an unexpected call, and try to befriend and extract the name and address. But be careful, you don't want to get yourself caught. I believe you have now received the knowledge for tracing an unknown number. So, see you later folks.
