I have been getting nuisance calls and text from a phone number - Is there any way of finding out who the number belongs to? I appreciate that this is not moneysaving - but I thought someone out there may be able to help me

Not sure how you find out who it belongs to, but if you get alot you can inform the police, who'll give you a crime reference number, once thats given to your network provider they should be able to change the number for you.
It used to be Free with Vodafone, not sure if it still is or not.:wave: Smile, you only get one life, LIVE IT.0 -
You can see who blocks of numbers were originally issued to by looking at the OFCOM site for details of the National Numbering Scheme, here:

These days when you can port a number from one network to another it is hard to tell which network the number belongs to.:wave: Smile, you only get one life, LIVE IT.0
