    Mr google, please add a “search this number online” button for incoming calls. Sometimes I miss a call because I’m slow typer

      I want to be able to search the phone numbers in maps. Searching Google sucks because of all the algorithm gaming scam sites. I just want to know if this number is a local business I might actually want to talk to.

        Does the USA not have an official phone registry website? Where I live you just go on there and look up any number, person or company you want. It’s basically an online phonebook.

          Not that I’ve found. There are plenty of ways to find a number of a business. But harder to find legitimate ways to find people’s numbers. And it’s almost impossible to reliably find the owner of a phone number.

        I have an s23 ultra, how can I use phone to identify incoming caller? There’s a verified green check that shows occasionally, but that’s really not reliable at all

        Edit: found it disabled under Call Settings > ID and spam protection. Cool I’ll try this out
