There is partial infdormation like that available on CD but
I forget where (some businesses use it).

For a business user, Googling the number will usually work.

I went through this after my girlfriend's mobile got stolen.
She got a bill afterwards itemizing exactly which numbers
the thief called on it. I had to look them up myself and
tell the police who they were, they hadn't thought of looking.
(The first two numbers he called were the local job centre
and a mental health clinic, the latter presumably about his
drug problem).

Might he not simply have a phone number shown on his
cell-phone as having called him, and not want to return the
call without determining whether he even KNOWS the caller?
When I first got my cell-phone, before I listed it with our
National Do Not Call Registry (U.S.), I made the mistake of
redialing numbers I didn't recognize. (Why should I use MY
cell-phone minutes to listen to someone's advertising spiel?)

I very much doubt it. This number makes the rounds on various joke
sites, emails, fora, because it's one of the numbers at Buckingham
Palace.

For example, someone might receive a text message saying:

"Hi iam stuck in London (dont ask!) need to speak to you urgently need a
favour can you call me on 02079304832...batt low ask for Elizabeth she
will pass you to me...thanks"

Oh, sorry! The original question did not provide any number
to "look up", so I had no way of knowing it was a joke.
(Even if he had, your telephone numbering system is so
different from ours that no UK phone number is familiar to me.)
