I'm sure I saw it on this board but can't find it. Is there a site where you can type in a number and find out where it originates from? Thanks

Why not just google all or part of the number?

or copy it here and someone will tell you

www.saynoto0870.com is often very useful if the number or company has been listed by users in their database.

"You can search on 0871, 0870, 0844, 0845, 0800, 0808 or 01/02 numbers" or by company name.
