I have started getting calls that show as 'private call' on my mobile. Is there anyway of finding out where they come from. Thanks.

    No. It just means the caller ID hasn't been sent. This could be call centres, or your friends at workplaces using other phone providers, or calls via VoIP or other cheap providers. So some will be undesired, but many are not.

    this is basically because the caller doesn't want to forward his number and this can be done on the hand set and to know the caller no i think its is 1571...i am not sure about the number please check with an expert.

    cheers..
