REVERSE PHONE LOOKUP & SEARCH

Wondering who keeps texting your significant other every night? Want to know who sent that annoying message at 6 in the morning?

Search a number in our reverse phone number lookup directory and let the NumberGuru do the work! You may instantly find where the phone number is located, who the unknown number might be, whether it is a landline or cell phone number and if it is a spammer.

PERSON SEARCH

And with our people lookup, you can potentially see names, known aliases, contact information, address history, educational info and even criminal reports.

USERNAME

When you sign up for a social media account, part of the fun is coming up with a clever username. You can choose a variation of your name or words that reflect your interests or personality, but whatever you choose has to be unique. For that reason, a username search tool can be invaluable when you're trying to look up someone.

PROPERTY

Want to learn more about a home for sale without calling a realtor? Or maybe you’re curious about the neighbor who moved in across the street. Reverse address lookup gives you a view into a piece of property and the people who live there.

DARK WEB SCAN

Your online identity may be at risk, see what information may be out there about you by performing a Dark Web Scan. 

CALLER ID & SPAM IDENTIFICATION

Free yourself from annoying telemarketers & phone scammers. With the NumberGuru spam identification (Spam ID) feature we will let you know when we’ve identified a spam call right within your native phone app!

Plus, you can leave comments to alert others on whether someone is a telemarketer, scammer or prankster as well as view other top searches on a daily and hourly basis.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-01-27, version 4.2.82*

Every number that comes up as spam on my phone has no information when I enter it into number guru. I think they have given my number to spammers, in fact. Deleting app.

### 2/5 — FRUSTRATED

*2026-01-21, version 4.2.82*

I have been using NG for the last 6 yrs. ; now, all I get is a red swirling icon whenever I try to use it! I haven’t been able to use it for a while now. I will have to try to find another source. NG was great when it was working; very disappointing‼️

### 1/5 — Beenverified.com Spy app

*2025-12-13, version 4.2.72*

Beenverfied.com runs this app. This is nothing more than spyware and data mining on your device.

### 1/5 — Do not download or pay for it

*2025-10-18, version 4.2.72*

It is not longer supported. I think the developers have forgotten about this and have moved on to other projects.

### 1/5 — It no longer works

*2025-08-20, version 4.2.72*

This app used to be useful a few years ago but in the last few months it’s doesn’t work and gives no real info when it does. Women if you’re looking to check guys for dating use the tea app or AWDTG app to run their numbers. It’s easy and actual works

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-04-11, version 4.2.72*

Super useful to find details on a number or look up address details as well.

### 1/5 — Useless APP

*2025-02-17, version 4.2.72*

Completely useless. Never pulls info on any number entered. Deleting now!

### 1/5 — Used to be better I SEE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS IT USED TO BE GOOD BUT IS GARBAGE NOW

*2024-12-02, version 4.2.70*

Garbage, it used to give names & business names etc, the last 20 searches it doesn’t reveal anything tells the phone carrier, that’s it. Garbage app now.

### 1/5 — USED TO BE GOOD

*2024-08-21, version 4.2.66*

This was the premier app back in the day to get good intel. You could find out a lot of info with numbers. As of about two years ago, that all stopped. 

Now they don’t give you any information. Very wrong move by the developers as this used to stay on my phone. Now I download it in hopes it will give me info like it used to, but it never does. 

It’s trash now.

### 1/5 — Fraud - don’t pay a cent

*2024-08-06, version 4.2.66*

This app charges for services $24.99 but when you try use their services it keeps asking to parches again. Moreover, Apple bill department openly allowing this fraud on their Apple platform..
