SCAM TEXTS, EVERY SINGLE DAY
Before you reply to the next one, check the number. See who carries it and whether other people have reported it. Then delete it, block it, report it, and get on with your day.

When the spam won't let up, people usually try one of three things. None of them makes it stop.
That works with a real business you signed up with. On a scam text, a reply tells the sender a real person reads this number.
They send from new numbers all the time. Blocking one is bailing out the ocean with a spoon.
Then the real one from the pharmacy, the school, or the delivery driver gets ignored too.
WHAT SPAMMERS DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE
A spammer can change the words, the name, and the link in every text. But each text still has to travel through a phone company's network to reach you.
Lookup Pass reads that layer: which company carries the number right now, what kind of line it is, and whether people have reported it. A "local" number that turns out to be an internet line reported for spam is a strong sign to delete it and move on.
A TEXT LIKE THIS
"Your toll account is past due. Pay now to avoid a fine." One look shows the number was reported for scams. You delete it, report it, and move on. The fine was never real.
Every Lookup Pass gives you this for any US phone number that keeps texting you, right in your browser.

A scam result in the Lookup Pass app
Copy the number from the spam text and paste it in.
The messaging and voice provider, the caller ID name, and the line type.
Numbers reported for scams and spam are flagged. Then you decide: delete it, block it, or report it.
INCLUDED WITH EVERY LOOKUP PASS
Lookup Pass keeps an eye on your number too. It's re-checked every month for the quiet changes you'd otherwise be the last to know about: a spam label showing up on your number, a port-out or SIM-swap move (the first step in many account takeovers), or your number quietly set up for texting through a provider you've never heard of.
When a check finds a change, you get an email that says exactly what changed and what to do about it. Not your friends, who quietly stopped answering your texts.

Your own number, in the app (demo account)
Spammers switch numbers all the time. A list from last year won't tell you much about the number that texted you this morning. Each lookup reads the carrier network when you check, then checks the number against national scam and spam reporting.
A TEXT LIKE THIS
"Congratulations, you've been selected for a gift card. Reply YES to claim." One look shows a number people have reported for spam. You don't reply. You report it. It goes nowhere.
The people behind spam texts count on two things: you can't tell who they are, and sooner or later you'll tap something.

Different reasons, same relief: a strange text stops being a guessing game.

Look up the number before you reply or tap a link. Then delete it, block it, or report it, and get on with your day.

Your dad asks if the "Medicare" text is real. You check the number and tell him what's been reported before he taps anything.

Real customers text you from new numbers, and so do spammers. Check the carrier and line type before you reply.

No tool can stop someone from sending a text. Lookup Pass tells you what the number is and whether people have reported it, so you can delete, block, and report it without wasting time wondering. For calls, the Lookup Pass app blocks known scam and robocall numbers before your phone rings.
To a business you signed up with, yes. To a number you don't recognize, check it first. If people have reported it, don't reply. Delete it and report it.
Paste in a number. Get an answer. If you can copy a number out of a text, you can use this.
It means nothing has been reported against the number. That is not the same as safe. It's one more thing you know before you reply.
Not always. It shows the caller ID name on file when there is one, the carrier, the line type, and what's been reported. It tells you what a number is, never where a person is.
No. You type or paste the number yourself. The Lookup Pass app never reads your contacts, call history, or messages.
50 every month, plus 10 bonus lookups in month one. They reset at the start of each billing month.
Yes. It works in any browser and you can add it to your home screen. The Lookup Pass app is on Google Play, and coming soon for iPhone.
No. It's $1.99 today, the $18.00 balance at day 7, then $19.99 a month. The full breakdown is just below.
Lookup Pass is $19.99 a month. Month one is split into two payments: $1.99 today and the $18.00 balance at day 7. After that, it's $19.99 a month.

You get full access from the first day. Every lookup shows the carrier, the line type, the scam and spam reports, and the caller ID name when there is one.
One scam text that gets through can cost a lot more than $19.99. Money gone. Hours on the phone with your bank. Then a month of second-guessing every message.

$19.99/month
$1.99 today. $18.00 at day 7. Then $19.99 a month.
Each lookup reads the live carrier network when you check. It also checks the number against national scam and spam reporting. That means Lookup Pass tells you what a number is doing now, not what a directory guessed months ago.

When it works, and when it makes things worse.
And why blocking one at a time can't keep up.
What you get, and what no lookup shows.

The "Medicare" text your dad asks you about. The "toll past due" message on your mom's phone. You check the number, tell them what's been reported, and they delete it. That's what Lookup Pass buys.
