How can I find out who phoned without ringing the number?

Question

Number left on our answerphone with a garbled message- couldnt make up my mind if it was someone trying to sell something or a genuine call but would prefer to know who it is before I phone back - I really hate call centres... It's an 01274 number

Answer 1

google the full number, or look in the phone book online...

hope that helps!

Answer 2

dial 1471

Answer 3

Try doing a Google search for the number, if it's a business it will probably show up.  Alternatively, withhold your number and dial them, you can just hang up when they answer and they won't know who it was.

Cos I'm nosey, can you come back and let us know who it was?

Answer 4

I always think if it is something important, they will call back.

Answer 5

with alot of numbers you can look them up by just typing it in a google search or on yellowbook.com

Answer 6

If you know the number, just google it, and you should get the name.

Answer 7

1471

Answer 8

You can go on to the  B.T  web site and find out the area the call was made from but not who the phone number belongs to

Answer 9

That's a Bradford number. If you type the whole number into Google, it might come up as being from a call centre or somewhere like that (I've done this before and sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't). If you can't find it, then it might be worth ringing up - if it does turn out to be a cell centre, at least you can tell them to remove your details from their lists!

Answer 10

If you have the whole number try this website.
