Reverse Phone Lookup - Nevada Phone Number Lookup

Reverse Phone Number Lookup in Nevada

A reverse phone lookup in Nevada lets you identify unknown callers by searching public records and government databases. Whether in Las Vegas or Reno, get the registered name and address quickly and legally. This phone number search helps Nevada residents avoid scammers and protect themselves from fraud while not missing important legitimate calls.

Reverse Phone Lookup by Nevada Area Code

All Nevada phone numbers consist of three parts: the three-digit Area Code, the three-digit Prefix Code (also known as the exchange or central office code), and the final four-digit line number. While the area code narrows down the location to a large region, the prefix code can often specify the original city or town where the number was registered.

Here's a complete list of Nevada area codes:

Area Codes 702/725: Las Vegas, Henderson, Paradise

Location: The 702 and 725 area codes cover southern Nevada, including major cities like Las Vegas, Henderson, and Paradise.

Common Callers: Casino VIP hosts, MGM/Caesars resort booking agents, Nellis AFB personnel, and Zappos support.

Scams and Spam Calls: The 702 and 725 area codes see NV Energy Power Disconnection scams and Spectrum & AT&T "Lower Your Bill" scams. Fake "Secret Shopper" Check scams are reported, along with "Student Loan Defense Center" calls, Publishers Clearing House fraud, and Fake Process Server threats.

Area Code 775: Reno, Sparks, Carson City

Location: The 775 area code covers northern Nevada, including major cities like Reno, Sparks, and Carson City.

Common Callers: Tesla Gigafactory HR, Renown Health appointments, and Nevada State government (Carson City).

Scams and Spam Calls: The 775 area code gets Tech Support & Subscription Renewal scams and Fake Police & Firefighter Charity scams. Fake Process Server & Debt Collector threats are common, as are Auto Warranty Extension robocalls and "Can You Hear Me?" Voice Phishing.

Important: Area codes show where a number was originally assigned, not where the caller currently lives. Federal number portability laws allow people to keep their phone numbers when moving or switching carriers. Use our reverse phone lookup tool above to get detailed phone number owner information.

Nevada Phone Numbers

Nevada has approximately 4.3 million active phone numbers. Cell phones dominate with 3.6 million users, while traditional landlines are diminishing with just 155,000 connections statewide. Internet phone services account for about 565,000 numbers.

This indicates that searching a Nevada phone number will most likely lead to a cell phone. The decline of landlines suggests that newer phone numbers may be more challenging to trace compared to older landline numbers, which often had more readily available public information.
