If the caller has silent number with Telstra or is ANYBODY with an OPTUS
phone the number is not available via a CLI service.

OPTUS numbers are not transmittted and are not even avilable to the *10# or
*69 callback facilities.

|||| Do the telecom operators keep records of the
|||| phone numbers of incoming calls to my phone?
|||
||| Yes, as part of the process of charging for calls made. But only for
||| calls answered, its not that simple with calls that didnt get
||| answered.
|||
|||| Of course this sort of info must be available somewhere just to
|||| be able to bill the calling party.  For this I would guess the data
|||| is stored in files structured around on the calling party number.
|||
||| Its more complicated than that but the short story
||| is that the data is available the way you want it.
|||
|||| But is this data also kept in a form which allows the telco to
|||| see which numbers have been ringing in to my own phone?
|||
||| Yes. But they wont give that info to you. They may
||| well give the cops that info if say you get murdered etc.
|||
|||| Back in the old days it would have taken too much computing
|||| power to resequence all this data or to do the database inquiry
|||| so this question never arose.  But what about today?
|||
||| Certainly doable and has been done when the cops request it etc.
|||
||| Corse the detail varys with the country on access to the data.
