Subject: Can You Really Find IP Address by Phone Number? Let’s Discuss.
Hey everyone,
So I’ve been wondering—is it actually possible to find ip address by phone number? I’ve seen some sketchy sites claiming they can do it, but idk if they’re legit.
Has anyone tried this before? Like, maybe through WhatsApp calls or something? Or is it just a scam?
Also, if there *are* reliable methods to find ip address by phone number, pls share! Just curious how it works (and if it’s even legal lol).
Thanks in advance!

*PS: Not planning anything shady, just trying to understand how this stuff works.*
Nah, most sites claiming to find ip address by phone number are total scams. They just want your data or money.
But if you're on a call (like WhatsApp or Skype), *technically* you could trace the IP if you know what you're doing. Still, it's not straightforward and usually requires some networking knowledge.
Legal? Grey area. Unless you're law enforcement, prob best to avoid.
Hey! So I looked into this a while back.
Short answer: It’s *possible* but super unreliable. Some VoIP services leak IPs during calls, but most apps encrypt stuff now.
If you’re just curious, try Wireshark during a call—might catch something. But honestly, not worth the hassle.
Lol no way. Those "find ip address by phone number" sites are 99% fake. They either phishing or just don’t work.
Even if you *could* get an IP, what’re you gonna do with it? Geolocation is vague af.
Just my 2 cents.
Okay, so technically, yes—but only in specific cases.
If someone calls you via a non-encrypted VoIP service, their IP *might* show in the call logs. But apps like WhatsApp? Nope, encrypted.
Tools like Netstat *could* help if you’re on the same network, but again, super niche.
I’ve seen people ask this a lot.
Truth is, unless you’re hacking or the person is using some sketchy app, finding an IP by phone number is near impossible.
And even if you do, privacy laws in most places make it illegal without consent. So… yeah.
Thanks for all the replies, guys!
Sounds like the whole "find ip address by phone number" thing is mostly hype. I’ll steer clear of those sketchy sites.
Follow-up Q: Anyone know if IPs from missed calls are logged? Like, if someone calls but you don’t answer, does their IP show up anywhere? Just wondering.
Yo, tried this once with a friend.
We used a SIP call (Google it) and I could *kinda* see his IP in the logs. But modern apps? Nah.
Those "find ip by phone" tools are just scams. Don’t waste your time.
It’s a common myth.
Unless the phone is connected to a network in a way that exposes the IP (like old-school VoIP), you’re outta luck.
And tbh, even if you find it, IPs change all the time. Not as useful as ppl think.
Fun fact: Some scammers *do* use IP grabbing links sent via SMS.
But reverse-engineering a phone number to find ip address? Not happening.
If you’re paranoid, just use a VPN and avoid shady links.
