Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about using AppSpyFree to identify numbers and avoid scams.

What is AppSpyFree?

AppSpyFree is a phone number lookup tool that helps you identify unknown callers. Enter any number to see its carrier, line type, registered region and spam risk, drawn from carrier data and community reports.

Is AppSpyFree free to use?

Yes. The free plan includes five lookups per day with core data. Premium and Pro plans add unlimited lookups, detailed reports and additional features.

Can AppSpyFree find a person's name and address?

For private individuals, no. We protect personal privacy and show the registered region rather than a home address. For businesses that publish their details, public information may be shown.

Does AppSpyFree track live GPS location?

No. We show the registered region of a number based on carrier and area-code data. Live device tracking is restricted to carriers and authorized law enforcement.

Will the person know I searched their number?

No. All searches are completely private and the number's owner is never notified.

How accurate is the spam score?

Our spam score reflects millions of community reports and known scam patterns. It's a strong indicator, and you can add your own report to keep the data accurate.

What is the difference between mobile, landline and VOIP?

A mobile line is a cell number, a landline is tied to a fixed location, and VOIP is an internet-based number. VOIP numbers are more often used by scammers because they're cheap and disposable.

Can I report a spam number?

Yes. On any results page you can mark a number as spam or safe. Your reports help protect other users from scams and robocalls.

Is it legal to look up a phone number?

Yes, looking up publicly available number information is legal. Using AppSpyFree to stalk, harass or make FCRA-covered decisions is prohibited.

How do I find my phone's IMEI?

Dial *#06# on your phone, or check Settings under About phone. The IMEI is a 15-digit hardware identifier.

Which countries does AppSpyFree support?

AppSpyFree supports number lookups across 200+ countries, with the most detailed data available for major regions.

How do I cancel a paid plan?

You can cancel anytime from your account. Paid plans are month-to-month and access continues until the end of your billing period.
