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.
