How to Find a Phone Number with an IP Address
These days, there are a lot of reasons you may want to trace an IP address to the owner's phone number. The process of tracing an IP address is relatively easy, but tracing one to a phone number is quite a bit harder because IP owners sign up to privacy or confidentiality code that forbids them from revealing their user's contact information. Here are some handy tips to help you do an IP address search online.
Research
Do some investigating by looking at the header of the email whose IP you intend to trace. You'll then want to go to your own email and open the particular email in question to begin the trace. Using the details or properties function in your email program, display the email's headers. You are looking for the "received from" option. The IP address is indicated by the square brackets: [].
Use Resources
Next, utilize a site that tracks IP addresses in order to find more information about the owner of that specific IP address. Many free websites are available as a resource for finding additional details for IP addresses. There are plenty of options online for you to locate the information on the IP's registered owner.
Do the Search
Now you'll want to input the IP number in the search box of the website you have chosen. It is important to point out that it isn't possible to trace the IP to the phone number of the person to which the IP address is assigned. This also applies to the person who sent you the email. The only person legally capable of telling you the phone number is that user's ISP.
Contact the ISP
If you want to report spam, unsolicited, or malicious emails, you should contact the user's ISP. You must also keep in mind that in order to get a phone number from a traced IP, you will require authorization from police, a court order, and cooperation of the ISP provider.
