There are computer marketing companys that automatically(withheld number) dial
100 people at a time, but if ye answer 2 quickly there will be no one on the other end, seen it on watchdog...

haha
prolly someone stalking you
i see a few solutions if you want to stop this, wont help you identify it but
just pick up and leave your phone there, they are paying for the call
or turn your phone on silent and let them ring until they get bored
but i highly doubt you can find out who they are from any legal means...
good luck and i would simply block the number if i were you... if its someone you know and important.. they will end the joke when they realise can't contact you no more

Where do you get a listing of all such codes for a given manufacturer or given phone? |

IMPORTANT: If you have a se phone there is an option at the menu that it lets you activate another option that any phone number which isn't at the tel.catalogue can't call you. The gsm provider doesn't know it. The phone does all the job. e.g. If i called you before i hear one beep, the phone will automatically divert the call at the voice mail! Cheers m8!

@djchapple
You can find a whole list of international GSM codes here
@Risky
Did that CLIP code helped you to find that number?

hi. i am in australia. when i want to block my number, i just put 1831 before the number when i dial. works on both my mobile and home phone.
none of this #30# crap
just 1831
but as everyone has told you. there is no way of finding out the number. if you are annoyed by it, ring your provider and ask them to put a ban on it. since they know the number, this is posible.
just block it and forget about it. |

Hi panlek,
Your method is to accept calls from some #, and reject the rest. However, I want to reject calls from some #, and accept the rest.
Anyone has idea? Or can SE add this feature in future?
thx!

In my case it comes with accessing network and then a messge unknown application. If it says number stored in your case ask one of your friends to call you with their number withheld and see whether its working and let us know.

I think that number stored message means nothing considering that the carrier is not passing the number along to you.
If you have an idea of the person that might be calling you, then call them from a different phone while they are calling you. If you hear a clicking sound on the phone you are being called to, there is a good chance they are the same number. If you don't hear the clicking sound, but the other person picks up, probably not the right person...
If this gets to be serious involve local police, or ask your carrier to do so. |

I have tried that, that is what I have doing trying the codes with friends phone, me ringing them etc, different phones (nokia) and nothing seems to work, I've got a private investigstor on the case now, hopefully they will succeed why I have failed.
Best Regards |
