As per title, if you miss a call and you don't recognise the number on caller display, is there any tool/program/website that can tell you the name or company of the number?

There are probably some sort of protection acts which prevent this so not sure of it's possible...

Ring the number back and ask who it is?

Neil - that is lateral thinking at its best. If they won't tell you who they are, tell them they have won a prize and you need a name and addres to send it to. There is a hack for BT Phonedisk so that you can look stuff up in reverse, but this is illegal, so you shouldn't do it

I just <I>knew</I> some muppet would post that...

When you telephone someone you usually know who it is you want to speak to first..

Not even remotely 'muppetty'....

go to BT's website - Directory Inquiries.

From what I remember, I did the same thing when I was trying to locate a name and address.

It works, as logn as they're not ex-directory....
