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 phonenumbers.ie, also allows users to automatically block telemarketing numbers.

Definitely Vodafone but idk whether or not to answer as I don't feel safe taking calls from numbers that look like that

I tried calling Vodafone on 1800 595 595 and didn't feel comfortable as when the call connected there was no verbal response just alot of of movement in the background. As soon as I hung up I got a call back from 012037800.

They called asking for my previous mobile account number. I made an excuse and they said they would call back. I blocked the number. Way too dodgy
