Hello, I had messaged the other day to find the details of a Private number. I was asked to message again after 24hrs as your system hadn't updated. Thank you.

Is there no way to find out what this private number is?

Donna, 20 Feb. 2025 , 12:13pm
Your colleague said on the 18th that once the system had updated they would be able to help.

Soaif Ali, 20 Feb. 2025 , 12:17pm
Apps like TrueCaller, TrapCall, or Hiya can help identify the caller behind private numbers. These apps have databases of phone numbers and can often unmask the identity of private callers in real time.  
  
You can use them.

Donna, 20 Feb. 2025 , 12:18pm
Would either of these apps tell me the number from the 18th?

Donna, 20 Feb. 2025 , 12:21pm
Just had a little look on the apps and I'm not sure if want them to be able to view my phone contents.  
Is there any other way? As I believe this to me malicious calls. Not only to myself but also my 14yr old daughter.

Donna, 20 Feb. 2025 , 12:27pm
Hello

Soaif Ali, 20 Feb. 2025 , 12:28pm
Donna, as there is no specific resolution of this in our books, I am looking other ways to find this.  
  
Please stay connected.

Donna, 20 Feb. 2025 , 12:28pm
Thank you.

Soaif Ali, 20 Feb. 2025 , 12:36pm
Thanks for waiting, I am sorry, I have found the below:  
  
In the UK, calls made using the “no caller ID” or “private number” settings are typically impossible to track. Most phone providers lack the ability to track such calls, and this function is meant to safeguard the caller’s anonymity and privacy. Some third-party services might make the claim to be able to track these calls, but it is unclear how effective they will be.
