Annoying phone calls...please help?

Question

I've been getting an annoying call at all hours of the night. All the phone company says to do is either ignore it or trace the call (a total of 3 times at $3 bucks a trace) and then turn the results over to local law enforcement. If they are able to handle the caller successfully then the phone company will reimburse me the $9 for the traces. If unsuccessful then I am out of the cash. I don't think this is right and its s******g the victim. Does anyone know of a free cell and land line trace that can be done on the internet or by phone that will be viable for the law enforcement to utilize?

I think its stupid that the phone company wants to charge to trace the call. I swear, they are the freaking phone company...so they should deal with it. Anyone else agree?

Answer 1

the best thing to do is, get a callerID manager!!

Answer 2

well are they prank calls? or are they telemarketers? I think if they are prank callers scare them by agreeing with whatever they are saying. (ex.) "Hi, your ginormous pizza with nachos and horse poo are on the way", you should say: Thank you! I have been waiting for 45 minutes! That means my pizza is free. You know what I mean. As for telemarketers I'm not sure. Sorry if it wasnt much help.

Answer 3

get an answering machine and turn the ringer off...

Answer 4

Im guessing you must be in the USA  if you have to pay to trace the calls that bs man. wish I could help ya, but my only advise is to just theathen his ***. thats what i did when some chick kept calling looking for my husband,  she stopped in a heart beat! lol

Answer 5
