Who does this number belong to??

[Needaheadwobble]

My 'D'H went out with friends last night and when he came home went straight upstairs where I heard his WhatsApp tone go off quite a bit until I got in bed. This morning he's been off and funny about his phone which he never usually is. He nipped next door earlier and I looked on his messages and WhatsApp and can't see any from last night at the time his phone was going off. I then checked through his contacts looking for the name of an ex who he mentioned was in the pub last night and found someone saved under Princess. I've never looked through his phone before so have no idea if this is a new contact. I've saved the person's number in my phone and they don't have WhatsApp for me to see a picture and I can't find anything when googling. Is there any other way to find out who it belongs to?

Have you tried searching on facebook? If someone has their number linked to their facebook profile, you can find them by their phone number. Good luck!

Yes have tried Facebook and get nothing

Why not ring it...pretend to be someone else.

Phone it from a blocked number

Is there a photo when your partner had it saved in his phone ? On WhatsApp.

Get a friend to phone it and pretend to have dialled a wrong number...

Check his archived messages on WhatsApp (on an iphone pull down the chat list to reveal the Archived Chats, not sure if it's the same on Android)

Or click the button in WA to start a new chat and the list of Frequently Contacted will come up - they will be the most recently messaged people

Why not save the number and phone it from a phone box pretending to be a company to find out who it is.

But if princess doesn’t have a WhatsApp it’s not her it’s it?

I'm not sure who it is, whether it's her or someone else? There's no picture on it at all in his phone and they're not on WhatsApp to see a picture either. The frequently contacted on WhatsApp only appears if you've not deleted the chat, if you have the person is removed from the list.

I think I'll have to ring it but I don't know when I'll be able to. He's off work now and all plans are as a family so I don't know when I'll be alone to do it.

I don’t now how much ringing it will help. You’ll get a female answer, then what? They’re not going to say who they are.

Get one of your friends to call the number and say something like 'Hi, is that Gemma?' Then when the person says no, they can say 'Sorry who am I talking to?' If the person says their name, then you'll know, if the person doesn't then your friend can still tell you if it was a woman or man and the rough area from their accent. Ask your friend to end the call with 'Sorry, I must have the wrong number, was looking for Gemma, sorry to bother you'.

Have you looked in the archived messages on whatsapp?
Might still be there?

Sounds a bit odd. I wouldn't call off your phone as then they will know it's you calling.

Do you not know if you type in 141 before you dial the number it comes up as a private number or number unknown.
May sure you delete the call from the call list.
Keep your ears and eyes open.

What will you gain from ringing, unless the person is bizarrely formal and gives their full name when they pick up?

Can't see archived chats on his phone or his frequently contacted list.. Maybe it's only on iPhone?

You seem to suspect it's his ex and I'm sure you have her name so ring and ask is that x? Her privacy settings may be set to contacts only on WA but weird here wasn't a picture of her on his. Does he have kids, could they be princess?

I don't suspect the number is his ex, I was looking for her name and found this number instead.

Just ring the number and say "Hi, this is Dave's wife, who are you?" If it turns out to be innocent just apologise for disturbing them and say you were trying to track down someone else as a Christmas surprise for him, that you were looking for a long lost relative or something.
