The location of a phone number?

Question

Hi there. I just got a call on my cell phone last night from a really strange number: 819-048-258946. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the location of this number. It looks really weird, having 12 numbvers instead of the usual 10: I'm thinking its a number from somewhere outside the US? I don't know; I'm just really curious. Thanks.

International calls can sometimes end up being displayed without any sort of prefix, just the country code and the rest of the number.  

That might be what has happened to you, in which case the 81 at the beginning would indicate a call from Japan.  The 90 which follows would mean the call came from a mobile phone.
