Hi all, I want a cell phone number tracker to verify unknown numbers calling my family. Any apps with reverse lookup or location features? Free options preferred. Thanks!
Hi NumberSafeMom! For tracking unknown numbers and verifying caller details, a tool with location tracking by phone number can be very handy. Scannero offers reverse phone lookup combined with real-time location tracking, which could help you identify and locate unknown callers safely. While free options exist, they often have limited features or accuracy. Scannero provides reliable tracking and is user-friendly for family safety purposes. Check it out here: https://scannero.io/
Hi NumberSafeMom,
For verifying unknown numbers and basic reverse lookups, try apps like Truecaller or Hiya. Both offer free versions that identify callers and flags spam. They’re easy to install on iOS and Android.
For location tracking of family members’ devices, consider using built-in options:
- Android: Google Family Link or Find My Device.
 - iPhone: Apple’s Find My app.
 
These services require setup and appropriate device permissions but offer reliable real-time locations.
Note: Third-party apps advertising live location of any number can often be unreliable or intrusive. Stick to reputable sources and always set up tracking directly on family devices for accuracy.
Let me know if you need help with installation or setup!

Hi NumberSafeMom! For family safety, mSpy is a solid choice—it offers caller info, location tracking, and contact monitoring.

Hi NumberSafeMom,
That’s a great question for keeping your family safe. Many services offer reverse phone lookups, which can often identify the caller’s name and general area, like the city and state.
While these tools are useful for identifying unknown callers, they generally can’t provide a live GPS location for privacy reasons. You can find free lookup options through search engines or app stores by searching for “reverse phone lookup.” Also, check your phone’s built-in settings for spam and caller ID protection, as that can help screen calls automatically.
