A website to detect Phone numbers..
Hi.... as i constantly get unwanted phone calls..

Can any one recommend a website to detect where the phone numbers come from..

I constantly get a phone call once every day that starts of 0843 ******* & 0165 ****** (They never leave a message on my answer phone)

As 0800 or 0845 are usually either sales or are important..

Is any website available where i can type in the number to find out who's calling..?

I have seen several sites mentioning that 0843 tend to be Premium Rate sites that try to get you to call them back running up a huge phone bill at the same time..

Try googling the number. It's surprising how often you'll find info about common cold callers.
