How To Identify An Unknown Caller by davidugotex(m): 9:18am On Oct 08, 2014
Have you had a situation whereby an unknown number kept calling you without giving you any breathing space? Or perhaps fraudsters have been calling you to rip you off your hard-earned money? Or perhaps threatening or blackmailing you? If you have had any of those annoying experience, learn a very simple way to burst them up and know their true identity, whether the number is a local number or International number.

Step 1: Go to www.truecaller.com, select your Country and sign in for free using either g+(your gmail account), faceboook or Yahoo.


Step 2: Type correctly in the search space the phone number you want to know the owner. Include the country code. Example: +2348030000111.

Step3: After typing the phone number hit your Enter/Return key on your keyboard.
Then watch the person's name and location and even picture display on your computer screen.

Please take note that not all phone numbers can be found in Truecaller database, you don't expect to find a new number that has not been used before, which is also not registered by the network provider.

Like I said before, Truecaller is available for everyone to use for free, however, you are limited to 12 numbers every 12 hours. That is to say, if you have searched for up to 12 numbers, you need to wait for another 12 hours before you search for another 12 numbers. Understand?

On the last note, it will interest you to know that Truecaller have their mobile application for Apple IOS, Android, Symbian, Windows, and Blackberry. With their mobile application, you can know the caller identity once his/her call enters through your phone, and there is no limitation to how many caller IDs you can unmask.

Lie Lie..

This thing doesn't work except on the basis of a phone number already registered on their website.

I wanted to check my stalkers and they are asking me to register with my phone number first. What a scam ? Even when I did, they couldn't even locate the owners of the numbers.

Una think say I be pikin ?

You can't view a hidden number, it only review contact whose name is not on your contact list .....

and again the number must have found it way to any social media platform before truecaller can find it........

Sometimes the only advantage is that you know who is calling you even when the contact is not on your contact list

disadvantage, it only work with 3G or something higher

The scope of this tutorial does not cover that. I'm sure if you research online there might be a possible solution.

point of correction , it works on EDGE as well, I hardly use 3G.
I wish the app can cover hidden number as well.

You can also unlist your number easily. i.e Anyone who performs a TrueCaller search on your number will end up with "No Result".

Simply visit http://truecaller.com/unlist
