Contact by Number

The first thing this application has got going on in its favor is the fact that it is offered free of charge. You can get it, put it to the test, and if you like it, continue using it without having to part with your hard earned money. If for some reason you don’t like the app, you can remove it from your iOS-powered device. You won’t lose any money in the process.

The second thing this app has got going on in its favor is the functionality it has to offer. To better understand what this application can do, let’s take a look at an example.

Say you get a phone call on your home phone; but you don’t make it to the phone and the person on the other end of the line hangs up. The home phone displays the number that called you, so you could always call that number up. But before you do that, you want to know who you’re calling. The number doesn’t say anything to you, but you’re sure that if its someone you know, that number will be in your contacts on your iOS-powered device.

This is where the Contact by Number app comes in. Type in the number your home phone displays into the app, and it will search among your contacts and display matches. The app will start displaying matches immediately as you start typing and will narrow down the matches as you type in more numbers. You can thus find out if it was John or perhaps Sarah the one who called you earlier.

To sum it up, Contact by Number is a free app that allows you to find you whose number that is. Feed the app a phone number and it will look it up in your contacts and tell you whose number that is. It will start throwing suggestions your way as soon as you start adding numbers; you don’t actually have to enter the whole number.
