IMHExperience, I get one or two "stray call" on my cell a week.
And when I check this service linked above, it just is listed as
e.g., "a landline in Dallas, TX" or "a cell phone in Long Beach, CA".
These you can sometimes get more info if needed.
I suspect those are just calls from commercial operations/solicitations.
Another thing you can do is just GOOGLE the number.
For a couple of number, that has taken me to blogs/websites
in which lots of our fellow sufferers have detailed their annoyance with
these "stray" or "annoyance" calls.
Can I interest you in vinyl siding?

It's free and the best there is.
Look for a reverse directory.
Just use a service that searches a lot of them for free.

Don't waste your time, they are telemarketers and if you call the number on your phone it will come up as a non-existant number.
If you got time on your hands, key in the numbers on Google then search. You will probably find forums discussing the exact number that has been bothering you.
I've done the same thing then utilized the information I found on the forums to file formal complaints with the FCC telemarketing div. (I think thats what it was).
Don't expect any resolution but at least you get some satisfaction in knowing that you had an avenue of relief and tried to voice your complaint.
