Tip to Trace Any Phone Number in the World

Sometimes we cannot even identify which country the missed call is from (except ofcourse the ones from our home country and a few others for which we know the international dialing code).
Then how do we find it?


Centralized database
 
There is a centralized database which has the following details about almost every phone number in the world.

1. Type of Number
2. Country
3. City / State / Exchange location
4. Original Network Provider

1. Type of Number
 
This specifies whether the number is a Mobile number or a Landline/Fixed line referred as Geographic number. There is also a type of number called NonGeographic Number in countries like UK which is not linked to any specific location/city.
 
2. Country
 
It is the country the number belongs to.
3. City / State / Exchange location
This gives the city and exchange location information for a fixed line phone and the zone or state for a mobile number.
4. Original Network Provider
This is the actual telecom company providing the service like Airtel, BSNL, Verizon, T-Mobile etc. But network provider listed here may not be the present network/service provider because Number Portability is not taken into account.
