Identifying Unknown Callers with Phone2Location

Have you ever wished you could instantly identify the source of incoming phone calls? The prevalence of unwanted marketing and fraudulent calls can be incredibly frustrating.

Android users now have a solution. A readily available application, Phone2Location, obtainable through the Google Play Store, offers a practical answer.

How Phone2Location Works

Phone2Location functions as both a caller ID and a location tracking tool. It provides users with valuable information regarding incoming calls, including the caller’s city, state, country, and the network carrier utilized.

For calls originating from locations outside of the currently supported regions, the application will display the country of origin.

Supported Countries

Currently, Phone2Location offers detailed location data for calls originating within these five countries:

  • United States
  • United Kingdom
  • Canada
  • China
  • India

The application’s developer is actively expanding support to encompass additional countries and regions in the future.

This application empowers users to better understand the origins of their calls, potentially reducing the impact of unwanted solicitations and scams.

Exploring Additional Capabilities of the Application

Beyond displaying caller information directly on your screen, this application provides several other functionalities designed to enhance the user experience.

These include a contact directory organized geographically – by city, state, and country – as well as the option to block calls from specific, unwanted numbers. Furthermore, users can select from two distinct visual themes.

A Premium version is also available for a one-time purchase price of $7.99. This upgrade eliminates all advertisements within the app and expands the theme selection to a total of five options.

It’s important to note a few limitations inherent in the application’s design:

  • Precise GPS coordinates of a caller are not disclosed.
  • Within India, the app is restricted to displaying only state-level information for mobile phone numbers.
  • The application does not currently support Mobile Number Portability (MNP) lookups.
