    Posted: 31 May 2003 at 8:26pm

Is there any way that I could track the phone numbers of IP Addresses? I am interested in tracking the phone number of a dial up IP address in an email that I received. You can track the location of the IP Address' ISP at http://visualroute.visualware.com.

I am not interested in finding out what dialup number was used for that IP Address. I am interested in finding out the phone number of the person who used that dial up access.

You would have to hack into the log files of the isp and hope that the user sends a caller id. Joke aside. I think it would be an invasion of privacy if you could do that and software vendors would patch that at once. If you received email that needs you take legal action contact the fbi

No, I am not interested in doing this. I was hoping that there was a way to track the phone number of dialup IP addresses without hacking or anything. I was hoping to find something similar to http://visualroute.visualware.com. I guess it's an invasion of privacy, but sometimes it is helpful when you would like to know where the person emailed you from. 

Maybe this is an idea to make a software where you can track phone numbers of dialup users. This would be helpful for different cases.

You can't get phone numbers from IP addresses of dial up users.

You could trace the ISP of a given IP address and ask them to give you the phone number used at a certain time by one of there members, but without a court order to do so I very much doubt they would give it to you, also if they did I'm sure that they would be breaking privacy laws.

Also with dial up internet access the same IP address maybe used by over a thousand people in a day.

I really want to trace a phone number of one IP Address. I already know what the ISP is. I really don't want to ask the ISP to give me the phone number. I just want to find out what phone number is using that particular IP address. I know for sure the user used a Dial up ISP. It was something like 100-100-00-000.dialup.anywhere.net.

I didn't know that many people could use the exact same IP address for dialup access. Abika has a service where you can trace IP Addresses. You can find this information at http://www.abika.com/help/IPaddressmap.htm. But I am not sure how accurate it is. I am not sure how they find out the name and address of the owner. I really don't want to spend money on this service. Does anyone know how you can trace the name and address of the owner of an IP address? Maybe it is easier to trace the address and name than the phone number.

well u can ping a IP adresss and domain to find information such as the owner name to telephone numbers and email address.. i use a software called neotrace for this..but it all depens on the records foun from the whois database. if  u query an IP address.. mostly the ownership records show r one for the ISP.. in rare cases if the IP is a dedicated IP or some business or Universty or so.. then only u will see their details in the IP address records..otherwise the details u will see will be or the ISP who allocate the IP address

I am frustrated because I really would like to find out who may have sent me an email using a particular IP Address. It was pretty obvious that the person used a dial up number in Atlanta. I would like to find out if anyone out of state uses that IP address. I wonder if the ISP would be willing to give me that information if I asked them if only users from the Atlanta area uses that access number.
