No their is not im afraid.

If your getting nuisance calls then its best to try and answer and say nothing.

Help Link from O2.

It's doubtful that you could find a number that was witheld. Possibly the only way might be if the police were involved because a crime was commited. Other than that, I don't know how you'd go about it.

No there is no way you can find this out.

Seems not everyone knows everything !

Not at all, but some of us took the trouble to find out!

As I understand it this service may have legal implications and was closed down by Ofcom in July and there have been no posts to their Facebook or Twitter pages since then, so if it's running now I'm sure they and the UK police will have an interest.

You can read their life history here if you want to find out more:

If you say so, but have tried to use it since June?

The final posts of people asking for refunds on their Facebook page tell the story:
