Run a Reverse Phone Lookup
Florida

If you’re not sure whether a call is coming from a Florida number, you can often tell by looking at the area code. 

These are the area codes for the major metro areas:

• Common Miami area codes: 305 and 786
• Common Tampa area codes: 813 and 656
• Common Orlando area codes: 407 and 321
• Common Jacksonville area code: 904
• Other common Florida area codes: 754, 561, 850, 321, 352, 727, 239, 941, 772, 386 and 863.

Many calls from these area codes originate from Florida. However, some callers will use area codes from regions or states other than the one they’re calling from.

One of the best ways to find out who a Florida phone number belongs to is to use a reverse phone number lookup service. It’s kind of the opposite of the old phone book. Instead of looking up the name to find the number, you’re using the number to find the name. You enter the phone number on a search page, and the service comes back with information associated with that number.

The phone book white pages were only useful for locating landline numbers, but often the reverse service works on cell phones and landlines alike. Where does it find the information? As it turns out, many people and businesses have at one time or another recorded their number on some kind of public forum or database. A reverse phone number lookup service will typically be familiar with these and know how to go through them.

With many calls, the number you see on your phone is the actual number the call is coming from. However, that’s not always the case. Scammers and some telemarketers will route their calls through a fake phone number. In that case, it may be more difficult to figure out who called.

Yes, running a reverse lookup is legal in Florida, using data sources that are publicly available. If you knew all the places to look and had the tools to search these public records, you could do the lookup yourself. It’s a lot quicker and simpler, though, to use a tool that does all the virtual legwork for you.

It’s also legal to do a search on a Florida number from another state or to look up an out-of-state number from Florida.

Yes, there is. You can search Florida phone numbers using ReversePhoneLookup.com powered by Intelius for free*. Just enter the phone number in question on the search screen and click the SEARCH button, and ReversePhoneLookup.com will go to work.

ReversePhoneLookup.com offers a free* reverse phone number lookup that includes basic information, when available, about the owner of the phone number such as name, city, state, zip code. Additionally, when available it may also include info related to a phone number such as area code, exchange code, zip code coverage, original line type, carrier type, original coverage area, and switch CLLI Code.

If the free* search doesn’t provide enough information, there may be more information available with a reliable paid search like an Intelius Reverse Phone Number Lookup. This tool will go through a broader list of data sources and potentially return a detailed report with additional information.

When you use a paid reverse Florida phone number lookup, like Intelius, there’s generally a lot more information to tell you who’s behind the number calling and where the call might be coming from. 

A paid Intelius Reverse Phone Number Lookup may include the following information when available: 

• Phone number owner’s full name
• Other names associated with this phone number 
• Additional contact details for the owner
• Phone number owner’s location history
• Carrier service
• Social media profiles of the owner

If you’d like to know even more about the owner of the number, you don’t need to stop with a phone search. When you have a name, you can run a background check using a people search tool like Intelius. An Intelius background report could include current address and address history, employment history, aliases, possible friends and relatives and even criminal and traffic records.

You may or may not want or need all this background information about the unknown number you’re interested in, but it’s good to know you can find it if you have to. In any case, a reverse phone number search is a great place to begin. If you have a Florida phone number that you’re concerned about, use ReversePhoneLookup.com to get started.
