Tip: Try out our new Call Insider app. You can download it for free on Google Play.
How long has this service been running and who is it for?
The service was created in 2011 in the Czech Republic. It is an online forum where the users can share their experience with phone numbers, both annoying (mostly telemarketing, surveys) and useful (e.g. couriers, offices)..
Since the beginning, the service has been received very well, which led to localization into more languages. Nowadays, the forum exists in more than 20 languages and 34 countries throughout the world.
The service is intended for anyone who wants to identify the owner of an unknown phone number. The creators of the forum have also recently created the mobile app Call Insider for Android phones. This app, which is connected to the database of the website numberlookup.com.au, also allows users to automatically block telemarketing numbers.

Same as others - multiple calls (I don't answer unfamiliar numbers unless I'm expecting a call back from somewhere) and no messages left on voice mail. I admit not even attempting to return any calls and have no intention of doing so now, having read the other comments left here.

Same experience as above users, seems like 0394257200 & 0388071500 are related as I received a missed call from both numbers today and both don't answer when calling back.
