Mr. Number review
Mr. Number pairs caller lookup with configurable blocking, but requires a Premium subscription.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Mr. Number is Hiya's mobile caller-identification and call-blocking app for Android and iPhone. It is aimed at people who want to identify callers, block unwanted calls, or route private and unknown callers to voicemail. Its feature set goes beyond blocking individual numbers: callers can be filtered by area code, prefix, or country code, and a contacts-only call mode is available. The product suits users who want lookup and rule-based controls in one app; it is less suitable for anyone seeking a free option.
The standout capability is flexible call handling. Mr. Number can automatically block scam, fraud, and nuisance calls, and its reverse lookup covers people and businesses. Premium caller ID uses an on-device identity database. On iPhone, the spam database updates three times per day, and users can access comments submitted about phone numbers. Android's listed features include automatic blocking, reverse lookup, and contacts-only mode. Both platforms support the app, though the described features are not identical across them.
According to Hiya's support page, Mr. Number requires a monthly or annual Premium subscription, while free services are directed to Hiya's other app. Subscription prices are not supplied here, so buyers should check Hiya's current Premium offer before deciding. Support channels include email and documentation. Choose Mr. Number if caller lookup, area-code and prefix rules, and voicemail routing match your needs and a paid subscription works for you. If avoiding a subscription is essential, Hiya points users to its other app for free services instead.
