I usually do a Google search of the number in question. That does help somewhat.

I use Google also especially if my phone tells me how many times that number has called. One left a few voice  messages informing me that the Sheriff was on his way with some papers for me. I stayed home but he never showed up lol.

Maybe he went to the wrong address

It's usually not worth the time to research the number. If you think it's a "dummy" call as I call them then it most likely is otherwise they would leave a voicemail.

@ECBG,

Great minds

Just adding here that the number that comes up on your phone may not really be the number calling.  It's very easy to spoof numbers.  There are even apps that hide your number when you make calls if one is so inclined.

I have received a few calls with my own number appearing on the caller id, that was interesting, lol.

I have found a few this way and just did it this morning on call I received not on my contact list.  All I could tell was what city and I only know one person there and have not talked to him in about 10 years.  Plus he did not have the number I have now back then.  But google can be helpful.

@Tori3569.  That's true.  Twice I've had my own name and phone number come up on the caller ID.
