What can go on a number

Your name sits next to a number where anyone can see it. Keep it to things you’d say out loud.

Fine

Allowed
  • Your name or nickname
  • Your own brand
  • Sports teams
  • Politics and causes
  • Dating apps
  • Licensed banks and fintech
  • Wellness products without medical claims
  • Licensed crypto platforms

Some names, politics included, wait for a quick review before they show. You’ll get an email when yours is live.

Not allowed

Gets hidden
  • Gambling and betting
  • Sexually explicit content
  • Token promotion or unlicensed crypto platforms
  • Alcohol and tobacco brand links
  • Illegal goods and services
  • Hate speech
  • Harassment and insults
  • Other people’s personal data
  • Impersonating people or brands
  • Scams, phishing and malware

Logos and notes

Who can add them
The current owner of a number can add a logo, a short note and a colour. They show only while you own the number. If someone takes it over they are hidden, and they come back if you become the owner again.
Logos
The logo must be yours, or you must have the right to use it. No QR codes, nudity, violence or hate symbols. No photos of other people without their consent.
Notes
Up to 60 characters. The same rules as names, and the same filter: a match waits for a person before it shows.
Review
A person checks every logo before it shows. A first logo shows nothing until it is approved; a replacement waits for review while the approved logo stays. A hidden logo shows nothing, and a logo hidden by moderation is deleted after 30 days.

How it works

Names
A filter checks every name. Most go live straight away. The rest wait for a person.
Links
Checked before they show. Only the domain appears on the page.
Reports
Every name and link has a Report button. Someone reviews every name or link that gets reported.
Intimate images
If an intimate picture of you was posted here without your consent, email hello@whoownsnumber.com with the number, your name and how to reach you, a statement that you did not consent, and your signature (a typed name is fine). We remove it, and any copy we find, within 48 hours.
If we hide something
It shows as “Hidden by moderation”. Your total stays on the list. No refund. Reply to our email to ask why or to appeal.
Reserved numbers
Some numbers are off sale: known hate codes, or after a legal request.
