YouMail is a visual voicemail and spam call blocking service that offers reverse phone number lookup feature. It says users can check for suspicious or unrecognized numbers in its directory. In this post, we’ll explore how to do a reverse phone number lookup on YouMail and how it works.

How to search a YouMail phone number?

Searching for a YouMail number is not so different from doing that with a normal number. Any phone number, as long as it’s frequently used, will leave traces for you to find. A YouMail number is no exception. 

For example, the user might use it to register social media accounts, since it supports SMS verification, a necessary step for most social platforms. Besides, the number might be marked as spam online. These are two sources of information that can reveal the caller.

1. Reverse phone number lookup

Running a reverse phone number lookup may be the simplest way to identify the caller behind a YouMail number. To do that, you’ll need certain tools. Here are two that we tested and trust.

Intelius

Intelius is one of the best phone number search tools that provide in-depth research on phone numbers. With its rich expertise in people search, Intelius is a helpful resource for searching for the caller behind a YouMail number. Besides, it may also find you the owner’s address, social media accounts, contact info, and more.

1. Go to Intelius.
2. Enter the YouMail number and click SEARCH.
   
3. Click CONFIRM and the search will start.
4. Wait until it finishes and click the VIEW REPORT button. The report may include the owner’s contact info, address, social accounts, and more, if available. You’ll need to purchase a plan before you can view the report.
   

The above image is from a sample Intelius report. Actual reports may contain more or less information.

BeenVerified

BeenVerified is a powerful phone number search engine with access to a large amount of publicly available data. It can find you everything you want to know about the caller behind a YouMail number at an affordable price. Simply enter a phone number, and you’ll know the owner’s name, address, social media, and more.

1. Visit the BeenVerified search page.
2. Enter the number, and click SEARCH.
   
3. Wait as BeenVerified searches its billions of records in its database. Once finished, you’ll receive a comprehensive report about the caller.
   

2. Do a Google Search

Google is also a useful way to gather information as you look up a YouMail number. As we mentioned above, if the number is marked as a scam or spam in some online directory, a simple Google search will direct you there and help you identify the caller.

If the search result doesn’t reveal much, chances are the number is newly added and didn’t leave many traces. Also, Google is not capable of finding the social media accounts linked to the YouMail number. Simply move on to the next method.

3. Find social profiles by syncing contacts

If the caller has created social media accounts using the YouMail number, you can explore more about them after finding the accounts. But as you might’ve noticed, phone number search doesn’t work so well on social apps. To fix that, you can sync your contact. Take Instagram as an example.

1. Add the YouMail 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 manually open each social media app and sync contacts one by one and check for the accounts linked to the number. If you’d prefer a fast and cross-platform search, we recommend you use a social media search tool like Intelius.

4. Reveal caller ID / stop spam calls with YouMail

If you keep receiving unwanted spam calls and want to reduce the frequency, you can consider using a phone-blocking app. YouMail offers its own spam call blocker as you’ve added a YouMail number as a second line, or applied for a new number.

In addition, we recommend you add your residential and cell phone numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry. In case of scams and financial losses, note down the number called, the date and time of the call, and report it to the FTC.

That’s basically all you need to run a YouMail reverse phone lookup and trace the owner. We hope you find the post helpful and stay safe!
