    Firstly, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, I wasn't sure where to go.

    Baiscally, I'm looking for a way to find out where certain phone numbers are calling from.

    For example, I keep getting calls from 625 - ****, so I want to know what area uses the "625" prefix.

    Is there a site anywhere that lets you search for such things?

    Cheers.

    There's no 625 international dialing code 625 and there's no 625 STD code in Ireland.

    http://www.comreg.ie/numbering/numbering_search.599.numbering.html

    If you check the page above you'll see that the 01 code has a set of numbers e.g. 625xxxx allocated to Dublin Central and Dublin South.

    Well I got a call on Sunday and it came up 0194, thats all..? I was like who the hell, thought it might be a friend of mine abroad.. Turned out it was a business number 20 miles from me in Kerry.. It was coming through a PBX probably a PRI and the ID was all messed up, so it could be from anywhere.. Sorry I know that doesnt help but its so hard to find out number origins..

    Sometimes international calls end up being terminated onto the eircom network without going through their international gateway exchanges. So, they end up with their national caller ID still present without having the appropriate international code applied.

    We occasionally get UK numbers showing up in their UK format e.g.
    020 9999 9999

    Rather than 00442099999999

    I've also had a French number pop up as 0233445566
