Montana Reverse Phone Lookup

Reverse Phone Lookup by Montana Area Code

406 covers everything from Billings to Glacier National Park. Montana 's entire 147,000 square miles operate under one area code. There 's nothing to look up in a table because every Montana number is 406. Use our reverse phone lookup to get what the area code can 't provide: the owner 's name and specific city.

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

How Montana Number Lookup Works

In a state where calls from unfamiliar numbers could come from a neighbor a hundred miles away or a scammer from across the country, a reverse phone search helps you tell the difference. The service searches public government databases for available name and address information, checks FTC complaint files, and includes spam reports from other users.

1. Enter the full 10-digit number with the 406 area code. It's the only one covering the state.
2. Our search checks public records, open government databases, FTC complaint data, and reports from other users.
3. Available owner details and any spam history come back with the results. One area code for the whole state means the number alone won't tell you where the call came from. The lookup will.

Can You Legally Do a Reverse Phone Lookup in Montana?

Yes, using reverse phone lookup services is completely legal in Montana when used for personal purposes like identifying unknown numbers or avoiding scam calls. That said, federal law under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) prohibits using lookup results for hiring decisions, tenant screening, or determining credit eligibility.

FAQs

How to opt out of phone number lookup services in Montana?

Under the Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA), you can opt out of the sale of your personal details and request their deletion. Visit each reverse lookup site and use their opt-out form to submit a request.

How to tell if a Montana caller is a real business?

A phone number linked to a business name does not always mean the call is genuine. According to U.S. Census data, there are over 42,015 business establishments in Montana. To confirm a specific company exists, search the Montana Business Entity Search, the state’s official business entity registry.

Are Montana phone numbers harder to trace than other states?

Not inherently, but Montana's mix matters. The state has 1.2 million mobile subscriptions and only 152,000 VoIP lines, which means caller ID is more reliable here than in states with heavy VoIP adoption. Landlines still account for 104,000 subscriptions, a higher proportion than most states.
