Data sources

Where the different kinds of phone-number information come from.

Community experiences

Comments and ratings come from people describing calls they received. A report is an account of an experience, not independent proof of the caller's identity.

UK numbering information

Reviewed UK prefix and original-allocation information is derived from Ofcom numbering data. Ofcom publishes number-block allocation files and codes; an original allocation does not prove the current provider or caller because numbers can be ported or spoofed.

WhosCalled activity

Search totals and dates describe activity recorded on this website. They do not represent every call made in the UK and should not be interpreted as unique-person counts.
