subject: The Reverse Phone Lookup Technique [print this page] We've all experienced the silly phone calls when some pranks you by hanging up or answering the phone in a disguised voice. They play pranks like ordering Chinese food or making threats when you pick up the phone. The possibilities are endless. So, you want to find out who called you? You want to give them a call back? You'll need to do a reverse phone lookup. You'll need a code that automatically calls them back.
A reverse phone lookup is a technique used to call back the person who last called you. This technique is especially used when the person blocks their phone number. One can block their phone number on a cell phone easily by choosing to hide their number in call settings. One can block their phone number on a landline phone by pressing "*67, " or "star six seven."
To bypass the blocked number, use the code "*69" or "star six nine." Press call and this code will give you the ability to call back the number that called you last.
Ha! You'll finally find out who has been pranking you on the phone all along. They'll never expect you to call back. If you have in mind to be spiteful, you'd prank call them back. But, if you want to be righteous, you'd politely ask for the person to stop calling you.
Reverse phone lookup is also used for more practical purposes. Some people don't have caller ID on their house phones. So, it's a simple way to call back your friend without looking for their number in the address book. It also shortens the time it takes to make phone calls for numbers that are complicated or long.
No matter what your reason is, the technique is easy to use. It just takes three buttons.
