Have you ever hesitated to call someone, wondering if they’re busy or in a meeting? Or perhaps you’ve called someone only to be left waiting or, worse, sent straight to voicemail? We’ve all been there – unsure if the person on the other end is available or busy. Wouldn’t it be great to know if someone is busy before making the call? Let’s explore different methods to check if a number is busy without calling their number.
Method 1: Using Truecaller App
You can check if a number is busy without dialing that number by using the Truecaller app. Here’s how:
👉 Requirements:
1. Truecaller app installation: Install the Truecaller app on your Android or iOS device.
2. The other person’s Truecaller usage: The person you’re trying to contact must also have Truecaller installed on their device.
3. Data connection: The person’s device must have an active data connection (e.g., Wi-Fi or mobile data) for Truecaller to update their status.
⭐Steps:
Step 1: Open the Truecaller app on your device.
Step 2: Search for the person’s phone number in the Truecaller database.
Step 3: If the person has Truecaller installed and an active data connection, you’ll see their status update.
Step 4: You will be able to see any of the status such as their Last Seen, Available, On a call or Silent. Now, you need to check the other person’s status: If it says “On a Call,” it’s likely the person is busy on another call.
🔴 Limitations:
1. Truecaller usage: This method only works if the person has Truecaller installed and is actively using it.
2. Data connection: The person’s device must have an active data connection for their status to update.
3. Status accuracy: Truecaller’s status updates might not always be accurate or up-to-date.
By using Truecaller, you can get an indication of whether the person is busy on another call without actually calling their number.
Method 2: Using Voice Over IP (SIP) Phone
You can use a Voice Over IP (SIP) phone to check if a number is busy without actually calling it. Here’s how:
Step 1: Configure your SIP phone: Set up your SIP phone with an unusable SDP (Session Description Protocol) configuration.
Step 2: Send a connection request: Send a connection request to the number you want to check.
Step 3: Analyze the response: If the line is engaged, the request will fail differently than if the line were open but the SDP negotiation failed.
This method may not be foolproof, as the recipient may still receive notification of the attempted call.
Method 3: Using Skype
You can use Skype to check if a number is busy without revealing your caller ID. Here’s how:
Step 1: Use Skype’s “Call Phone” feature: Use Skype’s “Call Phone” feature to call the number you want to check.
Step 2: Use Skype credits: Make sure you have Skype credits to make the call.
Step 3: Skype will display a random number: Skype will display a random number (e.g., +3345 or +334) instead of your Skype ID or caller ID.
⚠️ Note: This method requires Skype credits and may not work if the recipient has caller ID blocking or other call screening features enabled.
