Southwest Connecticut uses 203 and 475, while 860 and 959 cover Hartford and the rest of the state. Four codes for a small state creates unnecessary confusion. The table below shows the breakdown by city, but don 't stop there. Look up the number to identify unknown callers by name and location.

How Connecticut Reverse Phone Lookup Works

If you've received a call from a number you don't recognize in Connecticut, a reverse number search can tell you what's behind it. The service queries public government records for available name and address information, checks FTC complaint files, and surfaces spam reports from other users. A quick, legal way to deal with suspicious numbers before wasting time on them.

1. Enter the number you want to identify, including the area code. Southwest Connecticut (Bridgeport, New Haven) uses 203 and 475. Hartford and the rest use 860 and 959.
2. Our lookup scans public records, government databases, FTC complaint files, and user-submitted reports.
3. Available owner info and any user flags come back quickly. Connecticut sits between New York and Boston and gets spillover robocall traffic from both metro areas.
