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.
