A witheld person keeps on calling me, and i want to call them back?

Question

I have been getting the witheld person phoning me, i think it's the same person and it's really scary because the only time he/she does it is when everyone eles in my family go out. I ask my family if they ever pick up the phone to a witheld person and they say no. It's not prank phone calling but as soon as i pick it up they hang up, and it's not because i'm too late picking it up, i pick it up moments from when it's calling. I'm getting really scared, i think someone is watching the house, what i really want todo is ring these people up, but there number is witheld, can someone please help me

Answer 1

You need to get the person who pays the phone bill to contact your provider and have the calls monitored.  If it is BT they can even put a stop on calls like these.

Answer 2

If the call is always just after your parents leave then it has to be someone who lives close and can see them leave.  Phone the police, and the post office can trace the call to the phone it came from if you have it pre-organised and keep them on the phone long enough.  You really MUST stop this especially if you are a young female.

Answer 3

Ring your phone company, change your number, & if these fail report it to police.  Tell the rest of your family.

Answer 4

If your with BT, or Virgin is £2.50 a month) you can pay, its not much to have people who withhold numbers blocked from ringing you!

my sister has it, and if you ring her and withhold your number a recorded voice will tell you to redial without withholding.  

Other than that  if could be one of your family having a sick joke, seems to be a funny that they ring when everyone goes out but you!.  or not answer the phone!, if you have a mobile tell your family to ring you on that, if they want to contact you!. and unplug socket on the landline, so it dont ring when everyone has gone out!, in which case who ever does it will soon get bored!,

Answer 6

try not to let it worry you and contact your service provider and they can moniter these calls and even block them calling you.

Answer 7

if your with bt ring them they can sort this out

Answer 8

Contact the Police, better safe than sorry. Just phone up your local station.

They will be able to find out the phone number and contact them on your behalf.

Answer 9

Contact your service provider (the people you pay your line rental to, BT or whoever) and tell them you have been receiving nusance calls.  They work with the police so will pass on the info you give them.  You can have your phone line set to not allow witheld calls if you ask.

It could be coincidence, or someones idea of a joke, so dont let it get to you, thats what these little minded people want.

Good luck.

Answer 10

you carnt ring them back

if you go to the police they will be able to trace the number i think....

Just change your number  

:]

Answer 11

A simple solution would be to contact your phone provider, explain to them and ask them to Stop accepting withheld numbers as well.

It's irritating as it is to be called from a withheld number, let alone in such a scenario.

Once withheld numbers are being rejected, the caller will get a message that your number does not allow withheld numbers, and at that level, the joke will have to stop if it is a joke at all.

Hope this helps
