Run a Reverse Phone Lookup
North Dakota

Though it’s a long way from one end of North Dakota to the other, it’s a sparsely populated state, and it has only one area code. That code is 701. It covers Bismarck, Grand Forks, Fargo, Minot, Dickinson, Williston and all the towns and countryside in between.

If a number with the 701 area code shows up on your caller ID, there’s a good chance the call is coming from North Dakota. However, that’s not always the case. The call could originate from someone who purchased a cell phone and plan in North Dakota but now lives in another state.

Also, telemarketers and scammers have become adept at misdirecting you about where they’re calling from. When they call you at your 701 number, they might direct their calls through the 701 area code even if they’re actually located in an entirely different state.

One simple way to find out who owns a phone number is to use a reverse phone number lookup service. It’s called “reverse” because it’s like the reverse of the old white or yellow pages search of a phone book. With the traditional search, you start with a name and look up the number. With a reverse phone number lookup, you start with the number and search for the name of the individual or business that owns it.

The old phone directory lookup used a book and was good for listed landline numbers only. A reverse phone number lookup is an online search that can often work for both landlines and cell phone numbers.

You just enter the mysterious phone number into a search bar and click a button. The tool then looks for information on the caller. Where does it find this info? Well, many people and businesses have their phone numbers listed in public records. Because they’re public, anyone is entitled to look at them. However, they’re scattered over sources throughout the country, and it might take you weeks or even months to find them and go through them.

An online reverse phone number search can do the job right away, and sometimes provide the details in an easy-to-read report. It’s worth noting, however, that the search doesn’t always find the particulars you were hoping for. For example, scammers will “spoof” calls to make the number look different than the one they’re actually using. If you don’t see a phone number owner’s name on the provided report, that’s an indication that the call might be a scam.
