Question

How can I find the location from which a phone number called?

Community Answer

Look at the area code from the phone number, then Google the area code to find out where it is. You can also try a reverse phone number lookup program to find out the source of the number.

Question

Somebody claims that I have called them using my name. I have not called that person. How do I track who is using my name?

Community Answer

You likely won't be able to track them down. Ignore said person, or make sure everyone you value has your number and is smart enough to know your voice.
