If someone calls you from a pay phone, how do you figure out where that is? I have the number...I'm sure the person who called is not there anymore but I wont go into details but [[this is crucial!]] I need to know where they were. Please help me!!

Where do you live?
If it is in the UK and you know the number that called you, go to the BT web site (see source) which has a list of the dialling codes. Of course, that will only help if the number starts '01' or '02', not if is a non-geographic number. Even then, it might not be much help if the number is in a large city like Manchester or Glasgow.
Until recently, if you knew the area very well you could narrow it down further eg in Liverpool 0151-727 .... are all Aigburth. Now, the problem is that numbers like 0151-6xx xxxx and 0151-3xx xxxxx were originally on the Wirral but now there are some 0151-3xx xxxx numbers in the City centre - presumably allocated by companies other than BT!
Best of luck!

Go to a local phone booth and get the companies number off there. Call the company and see if they can help
