How would one discover which VOIP providers are the source of calls?
- Evidlo 1y agoI wrote a little tool which can do lookups: https://github.com/evidlo/nanpa_lookup https://github.com/evidlo/nanpa_lookup There's no free source of this information anywhere. The only affordable option is telcodata.us
- throwitawayfam 1y agoWhat do you do when these lookups return the company that owns the number but the company says that they are not in control of the number? E.g, I have one number that keeps harassing me that reports as Verizon but Verizon says they have not been with Verizon since 2024. Also great tool, thank you
- Evidlo 1y agoTry searching directly on telcodata.us: https://www.telcodata.us/search-area-code-exchange-detail https://www.telcodata.us/search-area-code-exchange-detail
- paulv 1y agoDid you get the data in the db from telcodata.us?
- Evidlo 1y agoYes, but its 3 years old and slightly stripped down.

- SilverElfin 1y agohttps://freecarrierlookup.com/ https://freecarrierlookup.com/ There are other sites like this. And then you can use the carrier info, go to that platform‘s website, and submit an abuse complaint through their form. But all they will do is possibly block that one spammer from contacting your phone number while continuing to allow the spammer to operate. And of course they have other spammers as customers. Better option is to skip their abuse form and send complaints to your state’s AG, to the FTC website, and FCC website. They’ll ask for a lot of info but I think it helps them identify the problematic companies. You can also forward spam texts to 7726 (“SPAM”) in the US, and your carrier will use that info to take action.
