Finding names, numbers and addresses

An unknown number has called and you don't recognize it. To find out who uses the number, text it to 16500. You'll get a reply telling you who the number belongs to – if the details are publicly available.

Number search works with mobile and landline numbers. It's often used to find out who a phone number belongs to or who called, or to search by phone number without apps or internet access.

The easiest way to find a phone number's owner is to text the number to 16500. The service looks up the subscriber's name from official sources and sends it back to you, usually within seconds.

This works especially well when you've missed a call and the number isn't saved on your phone. It's also useful if you quickly want to know who called, search by phone number or find out whose number it is.

If you know a person's or company's name but not their phone number, text the name to 16500. Number search returns the correct phone number if it's available from public sources.

The service works quickly even without internet access or apps. It's a handy way to find a phone number by name, e.g. to reach a customer or find a company's contact details.

Address search works like the other SMS services: text a person's or company's name or phone number to 16500. The service finds the address and sends it to you by SMS.

This is useful for contacting someone or sending mail, for example. You can find an address by phone number or name easily by SMS without signing in – address search is suitable for both personal and business use.

A private person's name or address can be found if the details are publicly available and the number isn't unlisted. Text a phone number or name to 16500 to get a name, phone number or address in reply.

The service uses official sources and works quickly even without internet access. It's a reliable way to find a private person's phone number, check an address or identify whose number it is.
