It takes nearly 5 hours to reach Muzaffarpur through this Expressway. This expressway which also traverses through the newly built Kosi Mahasetu bridge ends at Muzaffarpur to continue further for Patna.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS
How to Trace Cell Phone Numbers
Written by Nicole Levine, MFA
Last Updated: January 4, 2021 Approved
Did you receive a call from a number you don't recognize? Since cell phone numbers are generally not listed in public databases, finding the owners of such numbers can be tricky—especially since spam callers can spoof their phone numbers to implicate others! If you're being harassed over the phone and feel unsafe, call your local authorities. But if you're being pestered by annoying spam calls, or just want to know who's been calling your line, this wikiHow will teach you different ways to locate the owner of a phone number
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
Finding an Unknown or Blocked Number

1
Check your call log or caller ID. All mobile phones will automatically identify most incoming phone calls. If you're on a land line (home phone), contact your phone provider to enable caller ID.
Consult your phone manual or contact the manufacturer if you don't know how to check the call log for recent incoming phone numbers on your mobile phone.
There are ways to bypass caller ID or even trick it into displaying the wrong number. If caller ID is unsuccessful, move on to the following options.
If you're being harassed or threatened and fear for your safety, contact your local authorities to request assistance. Most locations have specific procedures to follow for tracing dangerous callers.

2
Ask for "call return" service. If you'd like to be able to return a call to an unknown number, ask your provider for the call return code or search the internet for "call return code for [your country]". Contact your phone provider and purchase "call return" or "last call return" service if necessary, as an initial fee may be required.
The call return code varies depending on country and phone provider (and may not be available in all regions). In the United States, this service is also called *69 (after the code used in that country).
After the call you want to trace has ended, enter the call return code and you should hear a voice message reading the telephone number of that caller, with the option to return the call.
In some regions (such as California), call return will only return the last incoming call without telling you the phone number.

3
Enable "call trap" or "call trace" functions. If you are receiving repeated harassment calls from an unknown number, contact your phone provider and ask if these services are available:
Call trap: After requesting a call trap, write down the dates and times you receive harassing phone calls for the next couple weeks (or for as long as your provider requests). Once you report this information to the phone company they will identify the harassing number and report it to law enforcement.
Call trace: Once this service is enabled, pressing the call trace code immediately following the harassing call will send the phone number to law enforcement. (This code is *57 in the United States; your provider should tell you which code to use if you are in a different country.)
Call traps are usually free, while call traces may cost an additional charge. If call trap is not available, or if the harassment is severe, you may be able to convince your phone provider to give you free call trace service.
Method 2
Method 2 of 2:
Searching for a Phone Number

1
Type the number into a search engine. If you're not having any luck with the reverse-lookup sites, you can use Google, Bing, or any other search engine to run a search. Since search engines let you look through all kinds of data, you may find hints that can point you in the right direction. For example, if a phone number is associated with a business or website, the business or site's info will come up.

Try formatting the number in different ways, such as XXX-XXX-XXXX or (XXX) XXXXXXX. You should also try placing the entire phone number in quotation marks and no other symbols (e.g., "XXXXXXXXXX")

2
Try a reverse-lookup database. There are many free websites that can provide basic information about a phone number. If the phone number you're tracing is a landline (not a mobile phone) and not private, you may be able to find the caller's name, business name, and/or address on a reverse-lookup site. If you search for a private landline or a mobile phone number, these websites will at least tell you the phone number's location and service provider. If you are prompted to pay for an upgrade see more detailed results, skip that—there are more free options to try.

Although some reverse-lookup sites advertise paid services, they often won't yield results you couldn't find for free. Some sites are notorious for scamming customers, either by failing to provide any useful information for their money or by willfully stealing the customer's credit card information. If you do decide to use a paid service, research the company thoroughly, and stick to services that use PayPal or other well-known third-party systems.

3
Search for the number on Facebook or other social networking sites. Depending on the social network, you may be able to search for a phone number to find the owner's profile on that site. For example, if the owner of the phone number linked it to a Facebook account, you can search for the phone number using Facebook's regular search bar.[1]
If you suspect it is someone you have dealings with online, search the site where you exchange chat or information with them, such as on the site's forums.

4
Call the number. Explain to whoever answers that you've been receiving calls from the number. Politely ask who they are. If they tell you, no need to continue! If they don't, try one of the methods below.
Try calling from an alternate number, such as a friend's phone, a Google Voice phone number, or a payphone. If you have called repeatedly and gotten no answer, it's possible that the other party is choosing not to pick up your calls. Calling from a friend's phone or a payphone can help rule out this possibility.
If the person who answers claims to have not called your number, it's possible that a scammer used rogue software to disguise their phone number as someone else's. This phenomenon is called "spoofing," and often these numbers appear to come from your own area code.
Community Q&A

I want to know which country the person is sending me messages from. How can I do that?

Question
Is there anyway to track a deactivated pre-paid Android phone?

Community Answer
If the phone is "deactivated", that is no longer in service, then probably not. If the phone is stolen, and the battery is dead, you can still get the last known whereabouts by using Google: "Google find my phone." As long as you made a search while logged into a Gmail account, it will work. As long as the phone is charged, you can get real time location of said phone. That's why thieves leave the phone off, until they get a new sim card.

Question
How do I find a stolen phone?

Community Answer
You could contact the local police station to see if are they able to help you with it. There is likely a database in which they or your cell carrier hold your number. They might be able to use such a database to locate your phone, if it's on and connected to a cell tower. Using a phone-finding app is more efficient, but it also requires that your phone have the app installed and be connected to mobile data or WiFi.

Tips
The first three numbers of a US or Canadian phone number are called the area code. In other countries, the area code may be 2 to 5 digits long. You can look up the location of an area code online or in a phone directory.

The fourth to sixth numbers of a US or Canadian phone number represent the exchange code. Searching the exchange code will narrow down the location of the caller even further.

Warnings
If you do manage to get hold of the caller on the other end and work out who it is, stay calm and don't get engaged in a heated argument. If they are rude, threatening or nasty, do not keep listening. If they make threats of physical harm, take the matter to the police.

ഭാര്യ പറയുന്ന വസ്തു കൈമാറ്റ വ്യവസ്‌ഥ സൂക്ഷിച്ചു നോക്കുമ്പോൾ അത്ര സുതാര്യമല്ല എന്നാണ് തോന്നുന്നത്. എന്തോ ഒരുമാതിരി വളഞ്ഞു ചുറ്റൽ ഫീൽ ചെയ്യുന്നു. നിങ്ങളുടെ സ്വത്തു വിറ്റ് 40 ലക്ഷം രൂപ പൈസയായി കൊടുത്ത ശേഷമാണോ, നിങ്ങൾക്കും ഭാര്യക്കും ഉള്ള സ്ഥലം അവർ ഇഷ്ട ദാനമായി തരാൻ പോകുന്നത്. അതെന്ത് ജാതി ഇഷ്ടദാനമാണ്. അവരുടെ മകൾക്ക് അവരുടെ സ്വത്ത് കൊടുക്കുന്നതിനെ ഇഷ്ടദാനമെന്ന് വിളിക്കുന്നതിൽ തെറ്റില്ല. പക്ഷെ മകളുടെ ഭർത്താവിന് അവർ അവരുടെ സ്വത്തിന്റെ ഭാഗം ഇഷ്ടദാനം കൊടുക്കേണ്ട കാര്യമെന്താണ്. തന്നെയുമല്ല, 40 ലക്ഷം രൂപ വില കൊടുത്തു വാങ്ങുക തന്നെയല്ലേ സത്യത്തിൽ നിങ്ങൾ ചെയ്യുന്നത്? പിന്നെ അവിടെയെങ്ങനെ ഒരു ഇഷ്ടദാന ഫോർമുല ഇടയിൽ കേറി വന്നിരിക്കുന്നു?

നിങ്ങൾ നിങ്ങളുടെ വീട് വിൽക്കുന്നുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ ആ വിലക്കെന്തെങ്കിലും പകരം വാങ്ങുക. അത് നിങ്ങളുടെ പേരിൽ തന്നെ നില നിർത്തുക. കൂട്ട് സ്വത്ത് ഒരിക്കലും നമ്മൾ വിചാരിച്ച പോലെ ഓപ്പറേറ്റ് ചെയ്യാനാവില്ല. അവനവന്റെ വില അച്ചടിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നത് സ്വന്തമായുള്ള സ്വത്തിലും, പണത്തിലും, പ്രതാപത്തിലുമാണ്.

ഏതൊരു സന്ദർഭത്തിലും മുറിഞ്ഞു പോകാനോ, മുറിച്ചു കളയാനോ സാദ്ധ്യതയുള്ള ഒട്ടൊക്കെ അസ്ഥിരമായ ഒരു മനുഷ്യ ബന്ധമാണ് ഭാര്യാ-ഭർതൃ ബന്ധം എന്നൊരു നേരുണ്ട്. ഒരപ്രിയ സത്യം പോലെ അത് നിലനിൽക്കുന്നുണ്ട്.

സ്വന്തം സ്വത്തും പണവും അധികരിപ്പിക്കാനല്ലാതെ അതിന്റെ ഉള്ള മൂല്യം നഷ്ടപ്പെടുത്തി വിചിത്രമായ സ്വത്തുവാങ്ങൽ പദ്ധതി നല്ലൊരു വക്കീലിനെയോ, ആധാരമെഴുത്തുകാരെയോ ആരെങ്കിലും കണ്ടിട്ട് തീരുമാനിക്കുന്നതാകും നന്നാവുക.
ശുഭ പരിഹാരം ഉണ്ടാവട്ടെ!
