They got it from the public phone directory , or run a reverse phone number lookup to get it by entering your phone number. You can try this by yourself . Go to an online phone number search website , enter a phone number and try to see if you can find the owner’s information . It is possible that sometimes you can find, but sometimes you can’t.

The reason is, if it is a home phone number, you may be able to get it for free instantly . But if it is a cell phone number, it is very likely you can’t get it for free . Why?
Because, in most cases the home phone owner’s information is public information . When you are registering for a home phone, normally you will be asked if you would like to pay extra money to remove your name and other private information from the public directory . It is very likely you will decline this offer, just to save cost. Therefore , your name is put into the public list , and other people can search it easily. Some other people can call you for commercial purpose. It is a kind of spam. If you don’t want to receive this kind of phone calls, you can go to www.donotcall.gov to register your phone number. After 31 days, if you still receive this kind of call, you can go to the same website to file a complaint. But even if you have registered your phone number , it is still public information , and people can still find it out easily, though they are not allowed to call you.
If you sign up for a cell phone , your information is not public information and the cell phone carrier will not release it to the public directory . This doesn’t mean others can’t find it. They still can, if they want to pay. The cell phone company may release your information to its partners, such as a phone number search company, which provide reverse phone lookup service to the public, of cause not for free, or not totally free. If someone get your phone number and want to find out your information , he can log into these reverse phone number search companies’ websites , pay a certain fee, and then enter your phone number and get your information. But they may still get some information for free, such as the city a cell phone is registered in .
