How to Unlock Restricted Phone Numbers

Reveal the number, name and address of a restricted caller with TrapCall.

Restricting your phone number can be as simple as pressing "*67" before dialing. Being on the receiving end of a restricted call, however, can be extremely frustrating. Callers who restrict their numbers for pranks or harassment can cause unnecessary stress to the receiver. However, if you attempt to block all restricted calls, you may miss important messages from work, school or other businesses. To reveal restricted phone numbers, use a software plan such as TrapCall.

Instructions

1. Visit the TrapCall website and purchase a plan according to your needs. The $4.95-per-month plan (as of December 2010) can unmask restricted numbers and blacklist unwanted callers. The $9.95-per-month plan can do these things and also reveal missed calls, and the name and address of the caller. The $24.95-per-month plan has the added feature of recording incoming calls.

2. Fill out your phone and personal information, including your cell phone number, full name, email address and payment information.

3. Click "Create My Account" at the bottom of the page. Your plan capabilities will begin working immediately.
