NumlookupReviews of numlookup.com

This is my second review of NumLookUp (NLU) regarding another phone call. First review 5 stars. Second review 5 stars for a totally different reason. I use the free Truecaller app which works fairly well for me. Truecallert ID'ed the call as "Spam Risk" "Likely a Business" local number "Brush, CO". I had just called and spoke with a company in Brush, CO for about 20 minutes. This suspicious incoming call was about 15 minutes later. I used to answer Hi, this is (my first name) both when answering in person or when an incoming call rolls over to my voicemail greeting. I'm breaking that habit. No longer my name in the greeting, just the phone number. If my "Caller ID" or I do not recognize the name or number, and I decide then decide to answer or not. If I answer, I pause a few moments and listen before determining to say or not say "hello". For this phone call, I answered, paused, listened and then said hello. The other end also paused and hung up. Just curious, I checked out the number with NumLookUp, and here's where I believe they went the extra mile. NLU checked the number and it came back as a VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol - number). VoIP offers advantages (e.g., I have a VoIP toll-free number for business) and disadvantages (e.g., for Spam Risk or other suspicious type calls, a person can "hide" their true identity/intentions). NLU gives me and you information for free, plus if NLU's databases find nothing, they detail why. Beyond that, they even have YouTube videos to help people like me stay informed. So far, they're the best I've found in the truly "free" online lookup options available.

It's fast and easy but I looked up my own phone number and it says it belongs to a Danny Russell, I'm thinking maybe they just need to update their site, so I don't know exactly how reliable their site is but I'd use it again.

I appreciate that this service was free to use and I was actually able to get the source of a phone call I received.

really fast and it is free...no gimmicks

Best app ever. Helped a lot.

Not the owner of the phone#

only told me phone carrier

I received a call from another company at work but couldn’t understand the name, so I wanted to look up the name online. I tried several other search engines before Numlookup but you have to wait a long time or they ask for your email address and other information. With Numlookup, I simply typed in the phone number and got an answer a few seconds later. No hoops to jump through. This is the search engine I’ll use in the future.
