call trace *57 after the call comes in, but before you get another call...

there may be a charge for this service, and the info will be released to law enforcement not directly to you

more info can be obtained by calling 1-866-trace-4-u

You can block the caller using *67 + the number you wish to block.

If it is a serious pain in the neck or frightening you may report it to the police. I would advise doing this, as it seems they are trying to find out if a woman is home alone.

It might also help to call Verizon and ask what other services are available for help with these types of calls.

While you're at it - make sure any voice mail you have is recorded by your son or another male voice.

Answer 3

report it to the police. and dont answer the phone or leave it off the hook. Dialing *69 is the only way to get the number but doesnt always work

Answer 4

Just use a system such as http://www.phone-number-trace.com

This will allow you to find out their name and address in a totally legal, private manor.

It's also guaranteed for 56 days too.
