Is there a free way to check the origin of a phone call?

It's called caller ID

Ive got caller id and I have the number.  Just trying to get info on the caller.  I keep getting a fax to my cell phone.  I tried faxing back and it wont take incoming calls.

I've always had good luck just googleing the #. Don't use dashes though, just type it in as 3 separate #'s like this.... 123 456 7890. I've managed to even find unlisted numbers like that. I kept getting calls from an out of state number that I didn't recognize and they wouldn't leave a message. I googled it and no personal information came up, but it showed me on google maps the exact house where the call originated from. Kinda creepy in a Big Brother sort of way.

Yeah Google is your best bet - easy and free. 

I hate phones.  I finally got a land line in my house for work and not 5 minutes after turning it on I'm getting spam phone calls (and that's after putting the number on the don't call list).
