Bandwidth is a VoIP phone carrier that powers Google Voice and Skype. So if a person calls you from apps like Google Voice, you’ll probably see the carrier name as Bandwidth. But how to do it if you want to identify the caller? In this post, we’ll share how to trace a Bandwidth phone number to its potential owner.

How to trace a Bandwidth phone number?

Bandwidth offers VoIP phone services that allow users to make phone calls through an internet connection. As its area code can change to one’s preference, many people consider it untraceable. And the fact is, it’s a bit tricky, but it’s possible.

Any phone number, as long as it’s frequently used, will leave traces for you to find. And a Bandwidth number is no exception. For example, if they created social profiles using the number, or the number is marked as spam, you will find traces online. Besides, you can contact Bandwidth and ask them to identify and block the caller in case of abuse.

1. Do a Google search

Google is the most straightforward way to gather information as you look up a Bandwidth number. For example, if the number is mentioned on public social platforms like Reddit or Quora, a simple Google search will find these posts. That can help you identify the caller.

1. Navigate to Google.
2. Enter the Bandwidth number and hit Enter. Then look through the results and check if there’s any information that can help you identify the caller.
   

If Google doesn’t reveal much, chances are the number is newly activated. Also, Google won’t collect data from social media. To get a more promising result, you can try a reverse phone number lookup tool.

2. Run a reverse phone number search

3. Find social profiles linked to the number

If the caller happened to create social media accounts using the Bandwidth phone number, you can find them and dig out more information about the person. But as you might’ve noticed, phone number search doesn’t work so well on social apps.

Here is a pro tip: by syncing your contacts, you can find possible social accounts linked to the Bandwidth phone number. Take Instagram as an example.

1. Add the Bandwidth number to the contact list of your phone.
2. Open Instagram, go to your profile page and click the hamburger icon in the top right corner.
   
3. Go to Settings – Account – Contacts syncing, and set the button to ON.
   
4. You should find the account linked to the number on your page.
   

Note that you need to open each social media app and sync contacts one by one and check for possible social accounts. If you’d prefer a fast and cross-platform search, we recommend you use a professional tool like Intelius.

4. Report & stop unwanted calls

If you’ve received unwanted calls in case of a scam, spam, and even harassment from numbers registered to Bandwidth, you can report it to the service provider and ask them to block it for you. Here’s how.

1. Write down the number in question, the date and time of the call, and your own number.
2. Go to the Bandwidth report page.
3. Fill in the form and report the abuse.
   

If you’ve been scammed and suffered from financial loss, you should report it to the FTC and follow their recovery process. We hope you find this post helpful as you trace a Bandwidth phone number.
