You might find it on a webpage that contains thousands of different numbers, these are used for text spam and probably collected from you registering for crappy ring-tones or any sign up thing that has ever asked for a mobile number.

Googling my Irish number brought me to a Danish website full of phone codes. Googling my English number brought me to an Asian website, I don't know what language it is but it's in another script

So does mine, I think it's part of an anti phone spamming network - legit numbers are in it and dodgy ones are flagged.

edit this site may be of interest

WTF is the point?
Use the number lookup box to locate telephone numbers displayed on your caller id.

Perhaps some notes have been left about that number to help you identify who the fu*k calls!

Did you pick up the phone and determine the company name or what they are calling about? Leave a note for others to see!

I think that wtfcalls thing is a way of seeing if a number is knwon for spamming, 'cause it has options for comments. So if a number keeps rinign you, you google it and see if ohers have had the same problem, just a guess though. Mine was on it too anyway!

Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

Right. Well it turns out it's incredibly ridiculously easy to google search for peoples numbers based on the links they give or quotes they give to sites they have found with their numbers in them.
So I have removed a whole bunch of posts which might get some people in trouble. Because they accidentally just gave out their mobile phone number to a mischevious forum on the internet for some unknown onknowable reason. Following on from that I am now leaving this thread closed as the assumption is yet more people will give their phone numbers inadvertantly for the rest of us reprobates to do what we want with.
Reply to my texts yo.
