Abstract

Described are method and devices for marking an unrecognized number. A method may include receiving an information acquisition request sent from a terminal when a first phone number of a correspondent node communicating with the terminal is detected to be an unrecognized number. The method may further include identifying a first social account corresponding to the first phone number by querying a preset corresponding relationship between at least one phone number and at least one social account. The method may further include detecting whether the first social account is a friend account of a second social account corresponding to a second phone number of the terminal. The method may further include, when the first social account is detected to be a friend account of the second social account, obtaining account information, and sending the account information to the terminal to mark the unrecognized number.
