A TEXT FROM A NUMBER YOU DON'T KNOW
A text can say it's from anyone: your bank, the post office, your kid on a new phone. The sender typed those words. The number is different. It has to run on a real phone network. That part is much harder to fake. Look it up first, then decide: reply, delete, or report.
Create my Lookup Pass accountCarrier, line type, and caller ID name are free. The scam and spam reports come with a Lookup Pass account.
There are three things people usually do with a strange text. Each one helps the sender.
A text can claim to be your bank or your grandson. Anyone can type those words. Typing them costs nothing.
You get old directory pages covered in ads. Many are wrong, especially after a number moves to a new carrier.
Now the sender knows a real person reads this number. You still don't know who they are.
WHAT THE SENDER DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE
Every text has to pass through a phone company's network to reach you. Which company carries that number right now, what kind of line it is, and whether people have reported it: that is harder to fake than the words in a message.
Lookup Pass reads that layer. When a text says it's your bank but the number is an internet line people have reported for scams, you can see that before you tap the link. Not after.
A TEXT LIKE THIS
"Your package is on hold. Tap here to pay the redelivery fee." One look shows the number is an internet line with scam reports. You delete it and check the real tracking page yourself.
Every Lookup Pass includes all of this for any US phone number, right in your browser.

A scam result in the Lookup Pass app
Copy the number out of the text and paste it in.
The messaging and voice provider, the caller ID name, and the line type.
Numbers reported for scams and spam are flagged, so you can decide whether to reply, delete, or report it.
INCLUDED WITH EVERY LOOKUP PASS
Lookup Pass keeps an eye on your number too. It's re-checked every month for the quiet changes you'd otherwise be the last to know about: a spam label showing up on your number, a port-out or SIM-swap move (the first step in many account takeovers), or your number quietly set up for texting through a provider you've never heard of.
When a check finds a change, you get an email that says exactly what changed and what to do about it. Not your friends, who quietly stopped answering your texts.

Your own number, in the app (demo account)
Every lookup reads the carrier network when you check. Then it checks the number against national scam and spam reporting.
A TEXT LIKE THIS
"Hi Dad, I dropped my phone. This is my new number. Can you help me with something?" One look shows an internet line, not the mobile his son uses. That's enough to make him call his son's real number first. Nobody sends a cent.
The people behind scam texts count on one thing: you can't tell who they really are.

Different reasons, same relief: you stop guessing who texted you.

Look up a strange number before you reply or tap a link. Then decide: reply, delete, or report.

Your mom forwards a text and asks, "Is this real?" You check the number and tell her what's been reported before she taps anything.

New numbers text you about jobs and orders all day. See the carrier and line type before you spend time on one.

Paste the number. Get an answer. If you can copy a number out of a text, you can use this.
You can, and you'll often get an old directory page or a forum post nobody updated. It looks like an answer. It isn't a current one. Lookup Pass checks the number fresh, every time.
Good. You go from "is this a scam?" to "nothing has been reported" in less time than it takes to make coffee. That's what you're paying for.
No. A clean result means nothing has been reported against the number. That is not the same as safe. It is one more thing you know before you reply.
Not always. It shows the caller ID name on file when there is one, the carrier, the line type, and what's been reported. It tells you what a number is, never where a person is.
No. You type or paste the number yourself. The Lookup Pass app never reads your contacts, call history, or messages.
50 every month, plus 10 bonus lookups in month one. They reset at the start of each billing month.
Yes. It works in any browser and you can add it to your home screen. The Lookup Pass app is on Google Play, and coming soon for iPhone.
No. It's $1.99 today, the $18.00 balance at day 7, then $19.99 a month. The full breakdown is just below.
Lookup Pass is $19.99 a month. Month one is split into two payments: $1.99 today and the $18.00 balance at day 7. After that, it's $19.99 a month.

You get full access from the first day. Every lookup shows the carrier, the line type, the scam and spam reports, and the caller ID name when there is one.
One bad text can cost a lot more than $19.99. Money gone. Hours on the phone with your bank. Then a month of second-guessing every message.

$19.99/month
$1.99 today. $18.00 at day 7. Then $19.99 a month.
Every lookup reads the live carrier network when you check. It also checks the number against national scam and spam reporting. That's why Lookup Pass tells you what's showing now, not what a directory guessed months ago.

Yes, and the one thing that's much harder to fake.
What you get, and what no lookup shows.

The scam text your dad forwards you. The "your account is locked" message on your mom's phone. You check the number, tell them what's been reported, and nobody taps the link. That's what Lookup Pass is for.
