"Your cell phone's name"? Anyone know how this works?
I saw this on Facebook today:
"This is interesting.. i got this from a friend.. Did you know your CELL PHONE has a name? Try this:
1st step: from your mobile number, take the last 3 digits. Example-780-496-9684 , take "684"only
2nd step: Write this @*[684:0] in the comment box below, replacing the 3 numbers with your own.
3rd step: remove the * then hit comment."
It definitely works and I'd like to know how if anyone has any ideas.

What is essentially happening is the same as "tagging" someone in a status or comment. Instead of using a name it uses the profile ID numbers and doesn't follow through with the actual tag because it is only using the last 3 numbers of that persons profile ID. SO whatever name comes up is the name of a real person with a facebook account. :)

Here's Reverse / Whose Number Lookup page. If you're talking about cell phones, you usually have to pay for that. I've had pretty good luck just using Google a phone number to find out who's calling. If you are researching a quantity of numbers, though, I suppose, you might want a service. I can't imagine why the average person would need to research a quantity of numbers, though, so I assume this is business-related, and it then seems only fair that you pay for a service. But maybe it's not.
