How to Trace Any Unknown Caller
There have been massive developments in telephones in the last couple of decades. They have transformed from local land lines to cell phones. However, unwanted phone calls are still a drawback of this technology. Sometimes, it is only an unintentional wrong number, but most of the times it is a salesperson or a telemarketer. The most effective way to cope with an unknown call that you don’t know is to not pick up and allow it to go to voice mail. This way the caller will leave a message and you will know whether the call is important or is it just another annoying salesperson.

1
Cell phone number identification
Dial 57 and then the Star key on your mobile phone. In a number of places punching *57 after a wrong number will tell you the location of the incoming call. In other areas *57 can tell you the name of the guy or organisation that placed the call. If this does not function in your location, get in touch with your service provider and ask for the right code that is functional in your area. -

Get Caller ID
Inquire the service provider if he offers Anonymous Caller ID in your locality. This is a service that monitors the origin of an unknown call. If you get a call from a blocked number, you will have the option to unblock their call to attend it. After you have unblocked the call, the contact name and number of the individual or company will show up on the Caller ID screen. This way you will know when to pick up the phone call or ignore it. -

Contact the service providing company
Get in touch with your service company to seek help in case of troubles. If you see that you are getting several unwanted calls, ask him to trace the unknown calls and urge the individual or sales company to stop bothering you with their phone calls as you are not at all interested. Know that you will need to share your name and phone number along with the dates and times of the phone calls you want to be traced with the service company.
On the other hand, there is an online service known as reverse look-up that lets you dial a number to find information regarding the caller. This way you can get the company name or the person’s name and address.
