Does anyone know of a reverse number search site that actually works? I received a missed call but when I return the call it shows the message 'wrong number'.
There are loads of sites in the US. but nothing over here (well, nothing that works).

If it's important they'll phone you back so why worried?

Unless there's a different story in this... scratchchin

I could be wrong but I don't think there is one.

Have you tried putting the number in google and seeing if it finds anything, try putting in spaces where you would expect them to be if written down, eg do 0123 456789 not just 0123456789 etc.

Nothing devious about this, it's just that I get the odd missed call on my business phone (mobile) and when I return the call it's as if the number doesn't exist (as in the 'wrong number' message).
I'm sure they will call back but as this is a relatively new business I need all the potential customers I can get.

I've tried Google and nothing comes up. Skype would make sense but the code is 01438 which is a normal landline code.

If the second part of the number is 742280 for instance, have you tried 742000 or 740000? It could be a corporate switch sending out the wrong DD so try the possible reception number.

Its probably displaying a call centre number, so that it masks the individual drones extension..

If its important, they would have left a message, chances are they wont to persuade you to move operator, or take out another loan.
