What a lookup shows
Six signals in one result
Most lookup sites show a location, then ask you to pay for the full report. FreeSpy combines six independent signals into one verdict and shows how it got there.
Explainable risk score
A score from 0 to 100. Every point is traced to its source: reports, severity, spikes, FTC complaints or line type.
Community reports
People describe what the caller said and who they claimed to be. Recent reports count for more, and votes push the most useful ones up.
Official FTC data
Do-Not-Call complaints filed with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, synced daily and matched to each number.
Map, time zone & legal hours
See where a number is registered, what time it is there, and whether a sales call right now falls outside TCPA calling hours.
Campaign radar
Spots scam waves that move through neighbouring numbers in the same exchange. That pattern usually means neighbour spoofing.
Verdict first
See at a glance whether to pick up
Each result starts with a plain verdict and what to do next. The evidence sits below it: carrier details, a 90-day report timeline, who callers claimed to be, FTC complaint topics and a live map.

How it works
Three data sources, one result
Numbering-plan analysis
We check the number against the North American Numbering Plan and catch impossible or reserved codes. Then we find its area code, rate center and time zone.
Carrier & government data
Live carrier lookups show the line type and whether the number was ported. FTC Do-Not-Call complaints add an independent, official source.
Community + scoring
Reports are weighted by how recent and how serious they are. Abuse is filtered out, and the score shows where every point comes from.

Common questions
Is FreeSpy really free?
Yes. Every lookup is free and needs no sign-up. That covers the verdict, carrier, line type, location, community reports and FTC complaints. Businesses that need high-volume API access can choose a paid plan.
Where does the data come from?
From four sources: the North American Numbering Plan (area codes, exchanges, rate centers), live carrier databases (carrier, line type, porting), the FTC’s Do-Not-Call complaint data, and reports from people who got the calls.
How is the risk score calculated?
Every number starts low. Points are added or taken away for each signal: community reports (recent ones count more), how serious the reported calls are, sudden spikes in reports, FTC complaint volume, the share of robocalls, line type, and numbering-plan red flags. Each number page lists every factor and its points.
Can you tell me the name of the person who called?
We focus on whether a call is safe. We don’t build profiles of people. If licensed caller-ID (CNAM) data is turned on, you may see the registered caller name. If it isn’t, you’ll see the names callers gave, as reported by the community.
Why does my own number show up?
Scammers can fake any caller ID, including yours or a neighbour’s. If someone is misusing your number, add a report marked “Safe” so callers know, or ask us to remove the reports about it.
How do I remove my number?
Use the Remove My Number page. After a quick check, we hide the community reports for your number and tell search engines not to index its page.
Does it work for Canadian numbers?
Yes. Every Canadian area code is covered, with local time, province and overlays. We also flag Caribbean +1 numbers, because calls to them are billed as international.
