Introduction
Many people want to check their call details for different reasons — maybe to verify a bill, track usage, or for legal purposes.
But remember: Accessing someone’s call details without permission is illegal.
In this guide, we will explain how you can get call details in a 100% legal way — step-by-step, without breaking any law.
What Are Call Details?
Call Details (also called Call Detail Records or CDR) contain information about your phone usage, such as:
- Date & Time of each call
- Duration of the call
- Incoming or Outgoing status
- Phone numbers involved
These records are stored securely by your telecom operator and can only be accessed legally.
Why Do You Need Call Details?
You might need call details for:
- Verifying your mobile bill
- Tracking your own usage history
- Providing proof in a legal case
- Checking unknown numbers you contacted
Legal Ways to Get Call Details in India
1. Using Your Telecom Provider’s Official App or Website
Most telecom operators like Jio, Airtel, Vi, BSNL allow you to see your last few months’ call details through:
- Mobile apps (MyJio, Airtel Thanks, Vi App)

- Monthly e-bills sent to your email
2. By Visiting a Telecom Store
If you need old call details (6 months to 1 year), you can:
