A lot of them on the web require you to pay. I haven't found a free one yet.
Give your telephone provider a call. They should be able to do some logging on the phone calls. It may be a good idea to keep a log yourself if they are calling frequently.
This can be considered a form of harassment.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a very interesting first post??! ;P
I don't think u'll have much luck with that. All those reverse lookups will give ya just what area is the phone from. But to get name and address I'll have to pay. If it gets annoying with that wiers number calling ya just call ur phone company and they might be able to help ya.

Just ignore that number if and when it calls?
I don't answer the phone at all if no name or information shows up on Caller ID.
As far as my cell is concerned, the only people that have that number are in my address and contacts list. If a number shows up on that with no entry attached, then I ignore that too.
The way I see it, if it is really that important they will leave me a message.
If they don't, then I don't worry about it.

I've always used anywho:

I don't know if it works with cell numbers though.
Whoops, nevermind... "TIP: Cell phone numbers are not available"

I do the same thing. Although sometimes I wish they'd leave their number so I could prank call them later.
