Frequently asked questions
How does a phone number lookup work?
You enter the number with its country. We check it against carrier data and public and commercial sources, and gather what we find in one report.
Will the person know I looked them up?
No. We never contact or notify the owner of the number.
What will I find?
It depends on the number and the country. The report shows each section with what we found, and says clearly when a section has no data.
Does it work with numbers from any country?
Yes, you can search numbers from any country. The amount of public information varies: it's usually most complete for US numbers.
Can I use it to screen a tenant, an employee or a loan applicant?
No. LookupVia is not a consumer reporting agency, and the reports can't be used for decisions about credit, employment, housing or insurance.
How accurate is the information?
It comes from third-party and public sources that can be incomplete or out of date. Always double-check before you act on it.
I found my own number. How do I remove it?
Use the Remove my info page. We'll stop showing your details in our reports.
