Adding more to this is the protocol; finding out an IP address used for making
the calls is far more difficult than tracing a conventional mobile/land line
phone number.
However, the way to find out whether or not a call is being made from a VoIP
based phone is easy.
IP Tracers: The software-based ones can easily detect such calls with built-in
caller-id detection facility; it only takes time to know the process to trace
the path. It also reveals the service provider the caller is using.
Web Searches: Web searches sometimes reveals every detail on unconventional
phone numbers. Although at times finding an exact match is difficult, but it
shall reveal the name of the VoIP carrier. Keep a watch over the first few
numbers; if they are similar, then they belong to the same service provider.
If you are suspecting the caller to be a telemarketer, you must put a complaint
to certain websites who deal in resolving such matters. And if it’s someone
just trying to play a prank, the 911 emergency services are well-equipped to
return you the lost peace of mind.
