How can i trace prank calls with witheld numbers?

Question

ITS BEGINNING TO GET IRRITATING! any help appreciated! thanks

matt

oh and can it be without getting the police involved?

Answer 1

you should call your phone company and get the number to dial to recall the last number that called you... that way you can get their number. should be something like one of these (im not sure that's why i said call them to make sure):

*87

*69

Answer 2

maybe contact your phone company?x

Answer 3

If you get prank called just leave the phone off the hook on silent and waste the pricks credit.

Thats the best I can come up with.

Answer 4

Get your phone provider to put a trace on your line and if it's the same person they will track it down.

Answer 5

You can't. Im srry. I have a friend who does that to everyone and I know how you feel.

Answer 6

Get in touch with phone company - they can always look at last caller

Three nuisance calls - same number - they can act.

Answer 7

I don't think you could trace withheld numbers unless you goto the operator and explain to them whats happening they might either give you some advice or they will prbably tell you to goto the police.

But if you don't want to goto the police then I guess its the operator and just tell them that you don't want to involve the police.

Or you could goto your landline provider and explain to them whats happening they might be able to change your number for you and keep you out of the telephone book cos we are ex-directory and its good, you probably get the occasional idiot ringing up but not as much.

Answer 8

There is no way possible to trace it. If someone has a private number, (and say its new and they dont remember what it is) even if they provide their social, the phone co. cant even give it to them...its against the law. So, without getting the police involved, its impossible.

Answer 9

you can't....all you can do is prevent them from calling you.... use *77!!!

*77 ACR!! is anonymous call rejection

you know that you done it right when you hear a stutter-tone!!

but *77 is only good for ppl who use *67 to call your house, otherwise get yourself a callerID manager!!!

most prank callers know every trick there is, like using a calling-card or a callerID spoofing card!!

Answer 11

Instead of wanting to trace the prank calls, why not change your telephone number and go "ex-directory"........you only need to give out your new telephone number to the people who you wish to be contacted by.
