Years ago I lost touch with a close friend from college after she changed her number. Out of nowhere I found her old number scribbled in a notebook. Before I make a fool of myself texting a stranger, is there any phone number tracker you trust that can check if it’s still hers or give some info?

Hay, I was in almost the exact same boat last year. A buddy from uni just dropped off the map after moving abroad. Randomly found his number on a sticky note while cleaning out my desk and spent a solid hour debating if I should text it. Ended up googling ways to check and stumbled on GEOfinder – it’s super low-key but worked for me. I could see the number was still linked to his city, so I sent a message (turns out it was him and we grabbed beers a week later). Worth trying before you risk that awkward “wrong number” moment.
