I want to be able to pick numbers out of my contacts to put right to voicemail. Does this do that?

That doesn’t really fall under an intended use, but you could always use manual entry to lookup any number you want, even if it’s in your contacts. Then from the results screen just hit block.

However, depending on which manufacturer skin your phone has, you might be able to block numbers just by editing the contact and checking the “send to voicemail” option on.

Where do you pull your phone number data from? I looked up my number (which I have had for over 20 years) and the information was marginally incorrect. I would like to correct it.

The call data is pulled from a variety of different sources, but it boils down to publicly available information that starts with your phone company.It’s possible that they have the wrong information, or the republishers haven’t updated their records in some time.

If the issue is the republishers, there won’t be a way to force them to update.. so my best advice is to make sure your phone company has the information up to date and that should flow down to everyone else in some time.

Guys and gals – we don’t pick the ads in our apps. We’re not trying to push political views on you, we just want to make good software.

Here’s a sneak peak at a new feature that’s going to be included in the next release of Reverse Lookup! These notifications are optional, and when clicked, will immediately begin searching for information on the incoming call.
