Run a Reverse Phone Lookup
Indiana

A phone number’s area code is the first three digits in a 10-digit phone number. Area codes are geographically based, and thus give an indication of where a phone number originally was located. It’s important to remember that especially with the rise of cell phone numbers, an area code does not guarantee that the caller or owner of the phone number is still located in that state or region.

Indiana has eight area codes that cover various parts of the state:

• 317 & 463: Indianapolis (including Hamilton, Boone, Hancock and other nearby counties)
• 291: Northwest Indiana (including Michigan City, Valparaiso, Merrillville and Gary)
• 260: Northeast Indiana (including Fort Wayne and Angola)
• 574: North-Central Indiana (including South Bend, Warsaw and North Judson)
• 765: Central Indiana excluding Indianapolis (including Covington, Liberty, Peru and Kokomo)
• 812 & 930: Southern Indiana (including Evansville, Columbus, Madison and Bloomington)

The 317 and 930 area codes were added within the past 10 years, but there are no more plans to overlay still more area codes in the foreseeable future.

Running a reverse phone number lookup can be thought of as using the yellow or white pages of a phone book, except in reverse order (hence the name of the search). Rather than starting with a name and locating a phone number, you begin with a number and use the search tool to find a corresponding name. A resulting name from your search should be the owner of the number.

Completing the steps typically involved with running a phone number search is straightforward:

• Type the 10-digit phone number into the tool’s search bar
• Allow the system to compile relevant results
• Access any available information quickly

Keep in mind that if you determine the number is being used by scammers, the information you could discover may be unreliable. Scammers frequently use multiple techniques to avoid showing their name as the listed owner of a phone number.

Even if you determine a phone number is that of a scammer and you can’t find out who the actual owner of the number is, that information is still helpful. You can stop answering the phone when the number calls, and you certainly don’t want to give any personal details to someone calling from the number.

Without caller ID (and even sometimes with it), a reverse phone search may be the only way to find out who’s likely using a phone number that calls you.

Typically, the information that is returned by reverse phone number lookups is sourced from public records. This makes such a tool legal to use no matter what state you decide to conduct a search. Even though phone number searches provide information that you technically can find on your own, these tools usually offer a much faster and more thorough method of finding information about a phone number. You’d probably have to spend hours sifting through documents to find all of the information that a search tool could locate, and even then you’d probably miss several details.

The information that you can find via a free reverse phone number lookup service may be limited. A free service might only be able to provide information about the carrier and location of a number, for example. This is largely due to the limited resources that free services have at their disposal.

Paid reverse phone number lookup services have more resources that they can use, and this allows them to source more detailed information. A paid service is more likely to have the name of a phone number’s owner, along with other information.

Several paid phone number searches are available for use if you need this level of information.

The information you can find through a paid Indiana phone number lookup is diverse. Depending on the search tool, the information available for the phone number, compiled public records from a paid reverse phone number lookup search could include the following details:

• The full name of the phone number’s owner
• Information about the number’s phone carrier
• Phone number owner’s location history
• Other owner contact information
• Social media pages or listings associated with the owner
• Possible Images of the owner
• And more!

If you want even more information about the phone number’s owner, a background check can be performed in addition to a reverse phone number lookup. You might find criminal and traffic records, education level, employment history and possible family members through a background check. When paired with a reverse phone number search, the two reports could create a fairly detailed look at an individual.

Whether you want only basic information or extensive details about the owner of a phone number, a free reverse phone number lookup is a good place to start. You can continue on with a paid phone lookup and/or background check as you want.
