reverse lookup

My home phone number came up with my deceased Mother’s name. She has never been associated with this phone number. How does that happen. Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill, 

It’s hard to say how it happened in any specific situation, but somehow your local phone company associated the name and number at some point(and the association is still published somewhere).

For more specific information about it you should contact your phone company to find out how they made that association.

Even though we can’t really help, we’re sorry for the confusion!

The sending a blocked number to voice mail stopped working when I updated my Motorola RAZR MAXX to ICS. Are you working on a fix? Everything seems to be setup correctly. I even tried deleting the number from my contacts, and re adding it. It still rings my phone like any other number.

In a recent update, we switched the blocking method from a deprecated method to the current, correct method. Unfortunately, it seems that the “correct” way is less dependable than the deprecated way.

In the next version of the app(estimated release by Monday 7/9), we will include a preference that will allow you to fall back to the deprecated method. The only downside to that method is that you must have a My Contacts group. A very small number of people don’t have this group, but we’re not sure why. It probably has to do with the minority of people who do not sync their contacts to Google.

As always thank you for the feedback!

Can you make a mobile web version for those of us on iPhone? I love your app on my android but need some way to do quick lookups on my iPhone. There are no apps on iPhone or web based that return such great results as your reverse lookup app. Again I understand and don’t care that you cant acces the call log (unless jail broken) on iPhone, but of you look at what number guru used to be (it now sucks) you can give iPhone users a great alternative to do quick lookup. Thanks!

Sorry, we’re solely focused on Android at the moment.

Fix for HTC devices

Posted by admin

If you are using an HTC device, please make sure you have the latest version of Reverse Lookup from the Play store.. it solves the issues with sending a number to voicemail on those devices.

We’ll be pushing the same update for the Plus version in the next 24 hours.

Known bug in Reverse Lookup 2.0.8

Posted by admin

Hey everyone,

We are aware of a bug in Reverse Lookup 2.0.8 where blocked contacts will sometimes continue to ring through. We are investigating the issue and intend to have a fix for it soon.

in the meantime, as a workaround, you can reboot your phone to enable the blocks. You don’t need any special timing, just do it when it is convenient for you and any of the contacts you’ve blocked will go into effect.

Sorry for any inconvenience. We’ll update as soon as we have a fix posted on the Play store.

a bogota columbia called my cell treis to call it back have the number on my caller id how do i find out who it was to call back

I’m not sure what you’re asking..

First, Reverse lookup only handles US calls as noted in it’s app description. Second, if you have the number.. just call it back?

I’m sorry if this doesn’t answer your question.. i think we have a bit of a language barrier
