Question

Answer 1

Go to whitepages.com

Answer 2

If they keep calling and you're not able to get the number from any of the other sources people have given you here..

You shouldn't be afraid of calling the number back. You can always call it from a payphone, then their caller ID won't know who called. Just ask an off-the-wall question like "is this the Clark residence?"

With any luck, the person will say "no, this is ___"

Even if they just say "you have the wrong number" ... you may recognize the voice. (Just do it from a pay phone ;o)

>> If they start harrassing you though >> Make sure you report them to your cell company for their assistance! Any time phone harrassment is reported, the person receiving the calls eventually gets a copy of the numbers dialed on the number they have.

Answer 3

Yes, if it is a published number. Type in the number in the format xxx-xxx-xxxx into a Google search and it will tell you the person's or business' name.
