Who Called Me? How to Unmask No Caller ID Calls

Sometimes your phone will ring and the caller ID will read No Caller ID or Out of Area or some other vague designation that prevents you from knowing who is trying to get in touch with you. How can you unmask these elusive callers? This guide will show you how to unmask no caller id calls, even if they are calling you outside of your area code.

There are a few ways that you can unmask these calls, but it may take some work. The first thing you can do is try *67 before the number that is calling you. This will block your caller ID and allow you to see the number that is calling. If this does not work, you can try to find the phone number by doing a reverse phone lookup online. There are a few websites that offer this service, but it may require a subscription.

You have to have an app installed in order for this to work, so make sure you download one of these as soon as possible. Find the app in your App Store or Google Play Store, install it and follow the instructions when prompted. Once installed, go back into settings on your phone and select Track my Device Location under Privacy Settings.
