is it possible to find out a person's name by their phone number?

[spanky]

becuz i just saw on my cell phone that i recieved a call... i only have the number but no name. is there a way to find out the name of the person who called (assuming it is their phone) via the number on my caller id?

If you have contacts at the phone company, sure.

Anywho, so long as it is not a cellphone, it should be there.

ah crap. thanx for the links guys

i think it's probably a cell number... my searches come up blank.

google will reverse lookup a phone number if you have an area code for it, just type the full number in the regular search box....dun think it works for cells tho, oh well

It's either a cell phone number or unlisted number.

It might also be a call-center number (ie such as from a phone card). I tried tracing one of those once, didn't get anywhere
