How to tell if a number is PAYG or Contract?

Hi folks.

I'm a newbie so go easy if i make any mistakes :-)

I have been receving prank calls every single day from a number which is not with-held. I have the number.

Using my not-so-good detective skills, i have managed to ascertain which network provider this number belongs to. Vodafone.

Now i am basically trying to find out whether this number is PAYG or Contract and more so who this number belongs to?

I have a strong feeling it is my ex girlfriend that is behind this, but i have already confronted her and she denies it!!!

Would there be anyway of finding out????

Can anyone help please?

Have you tried calling the number from a neutral phone to see if anyone will answer?

Heck, I'd just have a friend, whose voice wouldn't be recognized, call the number and say something. Else there are certainly services you can pay to find out ...if it's really worth it.

Try this: Search google for reverse lookup or reverse lookup uk depending on where you are. From there, you should be able to get the phone provider. Once you've done that, contact the provider to let them know you're being harrassed.

I second what taiarain is saying, reverse lookup is great, good luck working things out, i know exactly how frustrating harrassing calls can be.
