I just got an abusive answer machine message from a landline in the Wigan area from someone who knows my name.

Five minutes later i got an accidental call from the guys mobile, which he hung up when he realised hehe

Is there a way to find out who owns either number? I will probably phone it back tomorrow for sts and giggles anyway..

I don't have any real enemies so this is likely just just be a drunken prank by someone i no longer speak to..they must miss me!

Yep, you can do it, for a small charge from 192.com.

If you use 192.com and have at least some basic knowledge of who you're needing information about you can get it. What information ( I don't want to know names or numbers) do you have???

I have a mobile number and a landline number.

My guess is the landline will be a public phone, I bet he is pissed off about accidentally dialling my number from his mobile after looking it up though!

If it was an abusive message, call up BT and ask for the number to be blocked - they won't give you details about who it was, but at least you won't have it again. If you know the name and the land line for a small charge 192.com will give you the address, however if you block it with BT i strongly advise against going down this route.

I don't think he's that worried, probably more like he's wanting to call them back at 3am on one of those new fangled brick phones.

I'm not worried, no!

It was two guys trying to sound scary, and not doing very well!

The first one (southern shandy drinker)kept calling me a cock in various different ways and then the other one (Northern Monkey) took over and tried to be a bit more scary..
"You are the biggest prick i have ever spoken too, you don't know who this is, you will never know who this is, your a fking wr, don't forget that.."

I have a stalker :P

So I assume it was an 01942 number? Why not just call the mobile tomorrow and ask them?

Either

A) Learn to read and understand he actually doesn't give a toss and just wants to find out how to trace who it is.
B) Stop trolling by acting thick and read before you post a response, quality not quantity
C) Tell us which previously banned member you are.

That's the best advice, google to begin with and then maybe fill in lots and lots of online forms using both numbers as contacts. They'll enjoy getting calls from Ramjit trying to sell them a mobile phone contract/conservatory/house insurance every 5 mins!

probably really obvious, but have you checked that you haven't got the mobile number stored in your mobile?

Post it somewhere as a sex chat line. A mate of mine did that once at college after picking a random number. Curiosity got the better of him and he rang to check the number. Turned out to be a rather OAP sounding woman.

Wayne Rooney now rings it regularly.

I had a falling out with some clampers mad So I posted their number in an advert for men seeking men, saying they want to be dominated biggrin. Also put an ad out for a 50" Plasma for £50.
