It wouldn't normally bother me, but I was getting ready for bed @ 1.30am when I noticed my phone flashing. It flashed at least 3 times that I noticed. I had my phone on silent so didn't notice it immediately and as I went to answer it, it rang off. No one has ever called me that late before - ever. I have been having a few problems with my boyfriend (nothing major) and wonder if he is mucking about on someone else's phone. For what reason I don't know. If it is to scare me, I will give him what for!!! In some ways though, I don't want to ask him about it to see if he brings it up! Or I have an ex-friend who always used to withold her number who recently turned nasty on me. I am inclined to think it is my boyfriend though. I live in a rural area and am in the house on my own tonight and this call has put me all on edge.I am curious to know who called, but don't know how to find out. Any tips gratefully received!!!

call your mobile phone provider and ask them,
I know someone in Vodafone UK, who said if i asked her, she would give me all bar the last 4 numbers altho the people working for Vodafone can see the full number,
Some mobile providers will refuse point blank that they can do it, ( to cover their own back, and they dont normally train staff to show them how to do the process needed)

 You are working yourself into a tiz over very little here. It could have been a wrong number, a call centre, sales call from you mobile service provider, a drunken friend calling for a chat... the list is endless. ASK the people you suspect it might be then just LET IT GO!! Stop obsessing over something as minor as this.

Just turn your phone off when you go to bed, then no-one will bother you! That's what I do, if there is an emergency then someone will turn up at your door. That's what happened in the olden days anyway before mobile phones :)

 You cannot find out a witheld number.
Put it down to one off event as it could have been wrong number, if genuine cannot be that important otherwise they would have called back.
BT would only investigate harassessent calls if you were receiving them constantly, which this is not the case so relax.

 Hi Anom,
I'm not sure if there is a way one can find out, i'm guessing there might not be.
What i would advise is for u not to bother urself about that. I also see witheld numbers on my phone sometimes. I know that you are anxious to know but it could be anyone really. Just be patient and wait.if it is important the person will call back.
Take care now. kelly,
