Get someone else to ring it?

Just get someone to text it, saying something, and see what they say back?

Depends really, maybe you have the number and you don't want the person you are ringing to have it in case they a stalker type of person or some sh1t like that lol

lol it depends, my mums ex directory and has requested her number always be witheld when calling out, just a security thing i guess since my dads died, most witheld numbers are people selling double glazing or chasing money you owe lol

Ring them off a payphone.

"Hi, can i speak to ***** please?"

"Sorry i think you've got the wrong number"

"Who is this im talking to then?"

^ I'd never give my name out to some random person on the phone, thats just common sense.

Don't think you can find out who owns a number, assuming its a personal number and not a business line.

I usuall answer withheld numbers with "" hello uzi's pet shop, uzi speaking ""
6 out of 10 times it's my mortgage company as I'm changing it at the moment and the poor sod on the other end of the phone doesn't know what to say lol

I don't see why you don't call it and ask, i have to do it as I never remember to save numbers into my phone.
