Miss a call? Worried it was from someone important? With caller ID, missed call alerts, and *69, it's easy to find out who called, even if she didn't leave a message.
Checking Missed Calls on a Cell Phone
Step 1
Each cell phone's menu is different, so open your phone's menu and find the "recent calls" (or a similarly named) section.

Step 2
Under "recent calls," there should be a "missed calls" menu. Open the menu, and you will see the caller's number (or name, if the number is programmed into your phone).
Step 3
Cell phones often list recent calls under a "talk" button menu. Press the "talk" or "send" button to see a list of recent calls. The one you missed will be marked with a missed call symbol, such as a red X.
Checking Missed Calls on a Home Phone
Step 1
If your home phone has caller ID, it will have a log of recent calls. Scroll through the list to find the number/name of your missed call.
Step 2
If you do not have caller ID, dial *69 to find out where your most recent call came from. You can also do this on your cell phone.
Step 3
If you have only a number, and not a name, for your missed call, use an online reverse look-up service such as whitepages.com to get the name. Enter the number and the service will tell you to whose number it is.
