Lady_Cat   10 #1 Posted June 22, 2007 I know you will all say phone it but i cant/dont want to.  So.... how can i find out online who a number belongs to?  I have the number and have put it in google but no results. I have gone on all the phone book sites and i can only find the option to search a name or business to be given a number and cant find an option to put a number in to get a name?  Hope that made sense.  Can anyone help me please?  It is a land number (01709).

Thanks  Have you tried google with the " things on the ends? If that comes up with nothing, I don't think it possible to find a residential number like that unless the number is on a website and is cached in Google's thing.

alchresearch   214 #8 Posted June 22, 2007 What's the deal with the number? Are you avoiding their call or did you have a problem when they rang?  I was being pestered by an 01709 number that was silent every time I answered. It turned out to be a call centre trying to sell me payment protection on my credit card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Thunzi   10 #9 Posted June 22, 2007 You can't do a reverse number search in the UK, unless you have a piece of hacked BT software, and no, I don't have it.  If you don't want them to know you've rung can't you just make yourself anonymous on your phone before calling? It's an option on most mobiles, or just put 141 before the number when you ring it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lady_Cat   10 #10 Posted June 22, 2007 The deal is.... i think it is a company but more specific a direct number to someone in that company who i dont wish to speak to although i cannot be certain and that is why i wanted to find out.  Not in debt or owt so i know its nothing like that i just THINK it is someone who i dont wish to speak to hence the fact i dont wish to phone it.  Hope that explains a little better.

They can ask who they're talking to, then just say it's a wrong number.  Dozy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
