 Handy Tip 

• You can use Google to do a reverse phone search for any country, provided the number appears on a web page. Search for the number without the area code, with the hyphen in its normal place. A Melbourne, Australia number would look like 3456-7890. Check all the results - there shouldn't be too many.
