How do I find where a phone number is from?

Type the number in the lookup box. The first 3 digits are the area code, which shows the state or province, and the next 3 (the prefix) usually show the city where the number was first assigned.

Does the area code show where the caller is right now?

No. People keep their numbers when they move or switch carriers, and internet phone services can hand out any area code. The area code shows where the number was first assigned.

Which area codes are scams?

No area code is a scam by itself, but be careful with missed calls from Caribbean codes such as 876 (Jamaica) and 809 (Dominican Republic). They look domestic but call-backs are charged international rates.
