*69
In the UK - if you dial 1471, and wait for the system to start reading the number of the last caller back to you - just press 3 to return the call.
Calls that show as private number on Caller ID withholds their name and number from the service. On landline phones you usually can call back the last person who called your number by using star 69. This will often not work on private numbers, unknown caller, or blocked numbers leaving you with no way to call them back.
The easiest way is to call someone who has Caller ID (for example, call your own cellphone from the land line). There are also special numbers you can dial to have the telephone switch read back to you the phone number, but those numbers vary from place to place and phone company to phone company.
Look at the Caller ID display.
If the number is private then you cannot retrieve it. However, if you wish to call that number back (and it is the last call you received) you can dial *69.
*69 will give you the number of the person that last called - usually.
In the US and Canada, *69 (or 1169 on a rotary phone) will redial the last number that called you, provided that you received valid Caller ID information and the caller didn't block it. If the Caller ID information was blocked, or if it got lost somewhere along the line, you can't call it back. The phone company may have additional information about the caller, using a different system called ANI that tracks the billing number, but you need to file a formal complaint and jump through some other procedural hoops to get that information.
If you call 1471 AFTER you have been called, it gives you the number who has just called you. This will not work for some private telephones and will not work for Business e.g. BT. NOTE YOU CAN ONLY GET THE LAST NUMBER THAT HAS CALLED YOU. Hope this works
If your caller hangs up before you can answer the phone just dial *69 and your phone will call them back.
Just look in your caller history.
call a friend and ask them what it is or call your home and look at your caller id. and if you really want it you can call me and I'll tell you. I'll email you my number so you can find out but that's a total last chance thing. if you cant find it. or even better call 611 and they'll ask you if your calling about number XXX-XXX-XXXX and that will be you number.
