There must have been a case where you hesitated to answer an unknown phone number even though there was hardly anyone to call on your cell phone that only functioned as a clock all day. This is a situation that you must have experienced at least once in your life when you are curious about whether or not to receive it. By searching unknown phone numbers, it is now possible to effectively determine whether an incoming call is spam or not. Shall we find out more?
junk call
Shortcuts
Junk Call is a service that shares more than 300 million phone numbers. If you enter the incoming phone number on the main screen, you can check the information registered to this number. For phone numbers that are not searched, you can register them as spam calls by leaving detailed information.
There is a detailed checklist of unknown numbers, marketing (advertising sales), messages, suspicious numbers, etc. in the phone number registration details, so you can register suspicious numbers and wait for identification.
what is this number?
Shortcuts
Unlike other services, it is not a service that runs on the web, but requires downloading an app from the Android or App Store before running it. It is a reliable and convenient number inquiry service that has been downloaded more than 5 million times. Similar to junk calls, by sharing the phone number received from other users, spam is read and it is determined whether the number is acceptable to the user or not.
The Ai blocking function is one of the unique services that can be used conveniently and is a function that blocks unwanted phone numbers in advance. You can also search for unknown numbers. If there is one thing that does not meet expectations, it is said by users that the spam phone numbers created yesterday and today are not updated lately, so the phone number function that can filter out the latest ones is relatively poor.
Unlike other services, the customer center is operated and information registered to My Number can be deleted. This can be managed directly from the app and even includes a landline phone number management service.
spam phone number database
Shortcuts
There are no noticeable differences from other services. Like any other app, it creates data through reports from users who receive calls, and provides them to users by deciphering whether they are advertising calls, illegal or fraudulent calls. If you enter a 20-digit phone number including area code, you can check in detail which company is using the number and whether the number is accepted.
As you will know if you use several services at the same time, not all services have the same phone number registered. Even though I entered a number with a high search frequency, the message ‘Could not be determined based on current data’ appears. It is a story that there is not enough reliable data, and it is concluded that although there is doubt, it cannot be concluded as spam.
the call
Shortcuts
As of December 2022, a total of 1.5 million numbers are registered and information is provided on The Call. If there is one thing that differentiates it from other services, it is an advantage that you can check the total number of times the number was viewed when a specific phone number was entered. It is fresh that it is judged whether it is spam or not, and this is also carried out by user voting.
The Call service, which has been implemented since 2009, is said to be doing its best to prevent damages such as fraud or voice phishing. Most of the incoming calls are advertising calls for insurance, real estate, and mobile phones. It’s hard to believe that sales are still being made through telemarketing. A company may request deletion of the phone number registered with The Call.

Results provided by search engines
Search unknown phone number
If an article about a phone number is registered on a specific website or blog, it is likely to be searched on Naver or Google. If you have an incoming phone number, it is a good idea to enter it into the search bar first.
Of course, this method is only possible if a post containing a phone number is registered on the website.
Closing remarks
We introduced various ways to read and search spam phone numbers. It is true that even after using all the methods mentioned above, it is often difficult to decipher the exact origin of the call. However, since there is no change in the fact that suspicious numbers can be filtered out with a certain probability, I think that these services are still useful. I hope you find this helpful.
