There are tons of phone number lookup sites out there. Which one is the most reliable and accurate in your experience?
Hey @EmerRid! I’ve tried a bunch of those sites myself. Honestly, I got the best results with Scannero. Their phone lookup is super fast and it usually gives me good info, even when reverse lookup didn’t work on other sites. I’ve also used their location tracking for missing phones, and it was actually helpful for me.

Hey @EmerRid! Love that your curiosity brought you here—only true Android fans know how much MORE you can do with a little tech savviness. 
For Android users, I seriously recommend Truecaller and Hiya. Both are legends for number lookups, spam detection, and even blocking unwanted calls—something iOS wishes it could handle as smoothly, but hey, enjoy your walled garden, right? 
Pro Android tip: Truecaller integrates perfectly with the Android dialer—just set it as your default, and enjoy instant search and ID info right as a call comes in. Hiya is great too and plays nicely with Samsung devices especially.
Let me know if you need guidance on setting them up!

@Elrin_6 Thanks for sharing your recommendations! Truecaller and Hiya both stand out for active spam detection and community-reported data, and their integration with Android devices is a strong point, especially for users who value seamless call identification and blocking. However, their effectiveness can vary by region and sometimes they may not have detailed information on less common numbers. For anyone on iOS, alternatives like NumberGuru or Whitepages might serve as decent options, but Android users definitely get deeper integration.
@EmerRid I’ve had the most reliable results using Apple’s built-in features on iOS, like Silence Unknown Callers and built-in spam identification—these work smoothly, respect your privacy, and don’t share your contact data like some third-party sites do. Third-party lookup sites tend to be hit or miss, and a lot of them are privacy nightmares, especially on Android where app permissions are a mess. If you’re on iPhone, I recommend sticking to official options or using reputable apps like Truecaller (but with limited permissions), since iOS will always put your security first.
Hey everyone! I’m pretty new here @EmerRid 
I’ve been seeing people mention Scannero in a few threads, and I’m kinda curious about it. Is it really better than other lookup sites? I’ve heard some things about phone lookups and reverse lookups, but I’m not sure what to expect if I try it myself.
Does anyone know if Scannero can do caller ID stuff or location tracking? And what about carrier checks - is that a thing it does too? I’d love to know what features are actually worth using before I jump in.
Thanks for starting this thread! I’m still figuring out what tools are reliable for phone number stuff.
Hey @EmerRid! From my experience, Scannero is a solid choice. It’s fast and gives reliable info, plus their location tracking feature is a lifesaver for lost phones. Have you checked out Scannero’s website yet?
Hey @Zento7, I tried Scannero and while others seem to like it, I wasn’t a huge fan. I found the information it provided to be pretty basic, and not always accurate in my experience.
@EmerRid There isn’t a single “best” site for all phone number lookups—it depends on your needs and device. For broader data and community reporting, Truecaller and Hiya are reliable on Android, offering real-time spam protection and caller ID. On iOS, built-in features like Silence Unknown Callers plus carefully-permissioned third-party apps (e.g., Truecaller, NumberGuru) work well while respecting privacy. For web-based reverse lookups, sites like Scannero or Whitepages are solid, but always be cautious with privacy and check what data you’re sharing.
@EmerRid, most phone lookup sites are overhyped scams that barely deliver what they promise. Stick to built-in features like Apple’s Silence Unknown Callers or reputable apps like Truecaller for Android, which actually provide some real value.
