Louisiana Reverse Phone Lookup

Reverse Phone Lookup by Louisiana Area Code

New Orleans ' 504, Baton Rouge 's 225, Shreveport 's 318, Lafayette 's 337. Louisiana 's area codes carry cultural geography. The table below shows which codes serve which cities and parishes. But when an unknown number calls, you need more than regional flavor. Look it up to verify the caller 's name and address.

Important: Area codes do not guarantee the caller's current location. Louisiana allows number portability, and scammers often use "neighbor spoofing" to make calls appear local.

How Louisiana Phone Number Search Works

Louisiana's reverse number lookup searches open public databases from government sources along with FTC complaint records and user-submitted spam reports. Whether you're in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or a smaller parish, you can look up any number and get the available owner name, address, area code location, and any robocall or Do Not Call flags tied to it.

1. Enter the Louisiana phone number, including the area code. New Orleans is 504, Baton Rouge is 225, Shreveport is 318, and Lafayette is 337.
2. We check public records, government databases, FTC complaints, and community reports.
3. You'll see available owner info and any spam flags. Louisiana gets recurring waves of scam calls after hurricane season, so checking unfamiliar numbers during those months is practical.
