There are two types of people: those who pick up the phone without knowing who is calling, and those who hang up and search the Internet for the person who just called them. If you belong to this last group, we present to you today Android apps and web pages you can use to find out who just called you.
If your mobile tells you that someone called you and you don’t know who the phone number belongs to, there are many websites and applications with which you can identify a call. Then you choose whether you want to block the phone number or not.
Apps or websites?
So that you know who is calling you, we will recommend five Android apps and five other web pages do a reverse search, so you can choose what works best for you. If you want direct integration with the system, then the best for you is an app.
Now keep in mind that many of these apps use your data to provide feedback to their services. Or, in other words, they get your contact list to add to their database. It’s best to read the usage policy carefully and if it’s not something you agree with, use the web pages to manually look up phone numbers.
Your mobile app
If you’re not used to installing apps unless extremely necessary, be aware that phone apps on some Android phones integrate caller IDas is the case with the Google Phone application.
The Google phone app will show you who is calling you in certain cases (for example, a company number) and will protect you from unwanted calls, with the possibility of blocking them automatically. The downside is that you can’t look up the numbers on your own, it only applies to those calling you.

Truecaller
With over 500 million downloads on Google Play, Truecaller is the most popular caller ID app on Android. East huge user base This is the main driver of its success, since it is the users themselves who evaluate the phone numbers, marking them as spam.
With TrueCaller you can get information about who is calling you, automatically block numbers recognized as spam and even record calls. Of course, not all functions are free and to take full advantage of them, you must purchase Truecaller Premium.

Who calls
Another veteran app for identifying phone calls on Android is Whoscall, with over 10 million downloads on Google Play. In the same way as in the previous case, you can know who is calling you in a window before picking up the phone.
You can use its database to automatically filter unwanted calls and funnily enough it has a offline database to look up phone numbers of the app itself.

CallApp
CallApp is another popular all-in-one caller ID app, which tries to show a complete profile of who is calling youincluding their latest social media posts (if public and linked to said profile).
In addition to identifying who is calling you, you can also use CallApp to record callsalthough you will have the same issues as in other apps if you are using Android 9 Pie or higher: the recording uses the microphone and the other person will be heard very quietly in most cases.

Show caller
ShowCaller has a very similar icon to the previous app, and when it comes to functions, there aren’t too many differences either. In this case, the database is built with the collaboration of its 15 million users.
ShowCaller shows you who’s calling and lets you block a number right from the screen when you pick up the phone. An interesting fact is that caller ID does not require an internet connection.

spam list
We change the third to switch from Android applications to websites, with the advantage that you don’t have to install anything to get the information. The downside is that in this case you will only get the information and calls suspected to be spam will not be blocked.
ListSpam is a simple website with a nice-to-do design reverse phone number lookups. You don’t need to register and you can also collaborate by adding your comments on any phone number.
Who’s calling me
Another simple webpage you can use to identify calls using the reverse phone number lookup is WhoCallsMe. Being an international page, you might have better luck if the caller is from another country.
Users can add their own comments, although the page tries to understand at least the country and region. You can also add your own comments to a number phone.
who called
Another minimalist web service to check who called you is given the predictable name of quienhallamado.es. The web page in question only has a search engine to perform reverse phone number lookups.
The website will try to give you information about any phone number – like the region the prefix is from – as well as show you reports from other users. You can complete a report yourself indicating whether the call came from telemarketing, a contest, aggressive advertising or other.
Tellows
Tellows is a caller ID service through its website with which you can search any phone number to see what its user community has to say about it.
As a reverse phone number lookup page, it includes a bit more detail than others, such as statistics on the number of searches for that number in the last month and a graph comparing scores and research. users can rate the call in a range of 1 to 9.
TelefonoSpam
We end our list with another webpage that serves as a reverse phone number search engine. In this case, it also includes a Top Ten with the numbers that generate the most spam and the most wanted numbers.
In the information a telephone number is indicated a useful chart review the different types of complaints so you can decide what to do with them without having to read all the comments, which in some cases number in the hundreds.
