Run a Reverse Phone Lookup
South Carolina

Often the area code can tell you not only what state a call is coming from but where in the state it originated. South Carolina is divided into three area code regions, and two of them have a second overlaid code, so there are five area codes in all.

• 843 and 854 cover the coastal region including Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Florence and Hilton Head.
• 803 and 839 serve central South Carolina including Columbia, Rock Hill, Aiken and Sumter.
• 864 covers the northwest with Spartanburg, Greenville and Anderson.

Most calls from these area codes originate in South Carolina, but not all do. Some callers initiate service in South Carolina but keep their number when they move to another state. Also, telemarketers often use a deceptive area code to make it look like the call is local.

How Can I Lookup Someone's South Carolina Phone Number?

One simple way to look up someone’s South Carolina phone number is to use a reverse phone number lookup service. This is a service that takes a 10-digit phone number and searches for information about the owner. It’s called “reverse” because it’s like the reverse of the old white and yellow pages of a phone book. When you looked in the phone book, you had a name and were looking for a number. With a reverse phone number lookup, you have the number and are looking for the name.

Unlike the old directory search, a reverse phone number lookup is online. Unlike the old directory, it often works with cell phones as well as landlines.

With ReversePhoneLookup.com, you just enter the phone number in a search bar and the service goes to work. We search public records to find out who the number belongs to. As it turns out, many people and businesses have information in the online world that associates them and their phone numbers. These sources are a matter of public record and anyone is entitled to look at them. Trouble is, most people don’t know where they are and would spend weeks or months tracking them all down and searching through them. A South Carolina reverse phone number lookup can search public records, compile the information and often display it on a screen quickly with little effort on your part.

A reverse phone number search won’t always find the caller. For example, scammers are adept at displaying a “spoof” number on your phone and hiding their true location. If the search doesn’t return a name, it may be a clue that the call is part of a scam.

Yes, in general it’s legal to run a reverse lookup either in South Carolina or on a South Carolina number. Remember, our tool at RevesePhoneLookup.com searches public record data sources, information most any member of the public can request. There’s no prying into private information held in secret files.

A reverse phone number lookup is every bit as legal as you requesting and compiling all the information yourself. Only the online search can usually do  it in a fraction of the time.

There is a free* service, and you can find it at ReversePhoneLookup.com. When available, it can tell you the owner of a phone number including the owner’s name, city, state and zip code. It might also provide info related to a phone number such as zip code coverage, original coverage area, carrier type, original line type, exchange and switch CLLI codes.

Just enter the 10-digit phone number in the search bar above and click the Search button. This free* search may give you enough information to know how to deal with the caller. However, if you’d like more, there are paid searches that could tell you more.

Intelius provides a reliable paid reverse phone number lookup. This paid version has the ability to perform more extensive searches of public records. It can potentially provide more information in a phone number report.

Reverse phone number lookups may provide quite a bit of information, and it depends on the phone number, what’s available in public records and whether the service tool you use is a free or a paid search.

With a paid Intelius reverse phone number lookup, you may find:

• The phone owner’s full first name and last name, or a business name.
