Recently I keep received call and message from a stranger phone number. From the message that guy seems like know a lot from me and known me by telling me some of my secret happened long time ago I thought nobody known. He didn’t threaten me anything just i am curious to know who is he. Didn’t see that number registered for any WhatsApp, FB, whatever social media. Looks like just someone’s backup number

Just curious if I want to check and know who is the owner registered on this phone number, can I get the answer when I go to DIGI, Maxis, Celcom etc shop and ask? Are they able to check the info from system? Will the shop worker attend this type of request to anyone? Or only the owner or show the IC will get the confirmation on the answer?

Anyone here had worked in telecommunication store before can advised on this? Or how can I check this?

No. If can do like that sure anyone can check whatever number they like. If you feel threaten just lodge a police report and let the authority do their job.

Download Truecaller. It'll show her/his name.

Truecaller really save my time. Before this every unknown number call me ayam malas nak angkat and never will. Now with Truecaller i can just filter everything.

Truecaller only works if that number is in its database. Could be a classmate from long ago. You can narrow down the person by making a shortlist of who would know your old secrets. If the person is willing to talk/message you can engage and eventually there will be enough clues to know who the person is.

if that person is dumb enough to utilize their personal detail to register with that phone number, then plenty of ways to check....

I wont divulge details, but think what services/app utilise phone number as an identification.....hint hint

You can't go round asking any random telco personnel to break the law for you for a bribe. You may get reported. At least you must have an inside friend or connection before you can consider this route. Not that I condone doing such a thing but your suggestion is naive, impractical and can get him into trouble.
