To identify the location of an Missouri phone number, you need to understand the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) structure that all Missouri numbers follow: +1 NPA NXX XXXX.
The area code (NPA) is your key to determining location. By matching the three-digit area code to Missouri's regional assignments, you can identify which part of the state the phone number originates from. Each area code corresponds to specific cities and counties throughout Missouri, making it possible to narrow down the caller's general location.
Here's a complete list of Missouri area codes with major cities:

Missouri has approximately 7.9 million active phone numbers. Cell phones are the dominant type with 6.6 million users, while traditional landlines are declining, now with approximately 300,000 connections statewide. Internet phone services account for about 1 million numbers.
When tracing a Missouri phone number, it's highly probable that it's a cell phone. The decreasing prevalence of landlines suggests that newer numbers might be more challenging to trace compared to older landline numbers, which typically had more readily available public information.

Sometimes, a simple reverse phone lookup isn't enough to identify a Missouri phone number. When that happens, trying other search methods can help. With Missouri's population estimated at 6,245,466 as of July 1, 2024, and 153,767 business establishments, information can be spread across many places, requiring you to check multiple sources.
Social media can be a useful place to search for a phone number, especially when trying to confirm someone's identity. For example, if you're meeting someone new, checking their phone number on social media can help you verify their legitimacy.
If you suspect the phone number belongs to a business in Missouri, using official state databases can provide verification. This is helpful if you're considering business partnerships with Missouri companies or need to verify a vendor before making a large purchase.
For the best results, it helps to use these methods together.
