 call the number and ask them to stop calling your friend.

not to impose on your friend but they must be rather stupid, if some one steals your cell phone you do realise the amount of charges they can run up...id goto your provieder and have them turn off the service

The simple answer is no, you wont be able to find who the numbers belong to, the long answer would be yes, but after long and costly legal action

There is way's to do it. It costs alot and its not always the right info. Best advise is to call the provider and have them suspend the service.

only thing you'd be able to do is tell from the number is where they're coming from by the area code.

There's a lot of law supporting cell-phone anonymity. Maybe someday you'll be able to reverse-lookup cell numbers but for now you just have to talk to you SP and have them deal with it.
