Exposing a phone number from a message coming in

[frankhere-1]

Hello,
I am on Android 12, ( Pixel 4a phone).

Is there a way to 'see' the origin of a message/text that I receive that comes from an unknown source?
If I look at 'details' in the message app , I can see where I can block a message, yet I'd like to see the
origin of the call.

Even with some calls that are from a known sources ( e.g. Investment firms sending trading updates) I still cannot
see the original phone number of origin.

Any tips/tricks on how to see this?

thank you,

That's kind of the point of sending things without caller ID enabled. There is no way to see what number sent you whatever or called you otherwise they wouldn't be able to spam us.

My best advise is to turn on the spam filter for calls and texts. I don't know where that is on a Pixel but Samsung has it built in to the Phone app, some times called the Dialer but it is the app used to make calls, and most SMS apps have a setting as well.
