I looked the number up at whitepages.com without the first 0 and the search suggestion read as follows: " We're sorry . We did not find a listing for the phone number you entered. The phone number (709) 989- 4727, is based in Saglek, NF and the registered carrier is Aliant Telecom.

There is a new kind of mobile phone scam. A missed call will show on your mobile phone. The number is 0709 020 3840! The last four numbers may vary, but the first four numbers will remain the same! If you call this number back, you will be charged £50.00 per minute. People have complained about their phone bills, once they have realised the cost of the call, but apparently this is completely legal.
So beware, do not call back numbers beginning with 0709 I have spoken to the relevant departments during the course of the day, and found that this scam is actually true.
Please advise customers not to return any missed calls beginning with an 0709 prefix, as they will be liable for the cost of the call

The best reverse cell phone lookup service that I have tried is http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=538
From using a reverse cell phone lookup you will be able to get the callers name and address just by typing the phone numbers they will tell you the details related to the number. The reverse cell phone lookup service has your details available they will give you the cell phones location. For a full report including a name and address and other interesting informations you will have to pay. All reverse cell phone lookup services charge for the information as it is a contract bind between the mobile company and themselves, where they pay for the info. Enter the number in the system and they will tell you a lot of informations about the phone number and the person who owns it. If they have extra details you will have to pay for the report. If you only want to reverse lookup one cell phone or land-line phone number you will be charged about $15 but if you need to reverse lookup more than one phone or cell phone number you can get a years access to their database.
Free reverse phone lookup sites generally provide the most basic of information such as name and it works only for landlines. To get further information, money will have to be paid. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book.
This service is great, I used it a lot f time with great results: I always obtained what I was searching for. I definitly reccomend this service, check it out: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=538

All of these answers could be correct. There are phone scams that use strange numbers like this, so be careful. I would like to point out however, that certain VOIP (internet phone) services such as SkypeOut use such numbers. When I call my friends cell phones from my PC, it sends them an 11 digit number that begins with a zero. They cannot call back, because that number is not reserved for me. Anyone using Skype could receive that number at any time...so there is another possibility, but like I said...be careful of scammers because they often use internet phone services BECAUSE you can not trace them that way.

Don't call it anymore...and call your phone provider. It could be a scam. There is one out there, that if you call the number back, it will allow people in prison to charge that call to your cell phone. Make sure you ask your carrier about it.

It sounds like a scam. If you don't know a number that's calling then if you don't answer it or ring it back you should be safe.
If you are worried that it is someone that you know that is trying to get hold of you , don't worry - if it's that urgent they will find a way of getting hold of you!
