NumberGuru works by entering the telephone number that the user wishes to find information on. The owner's name, phone carrier, location, and type of phone are returned in the results.[6] It also allows user to enter information about business or marketer numbers such as spam reports.[7] Comments from other users who have looked up the same number are displayed with the results.[8] The Android mobile application can also be connected to a users phone book and a notification will be made at the time of a call if it is a known number from the user's contacts or a marketer or spam call.[9]
