Question

Answer 1

Depends on the country you are in. (I don't know how to tell where you are)

In the US:

If you just want to know the name of the person calling you can go to http://www.freeality.com/finde.htm and input the # into different directories.

If you want to go thru your phone company, and file a complaint, the procedure differs based on your phone service provider and the are you are in. A company  I had didn't recognize a person just picking up the phone and dialing *57 (call tracing). They required you to first file a police report. Once that was done you had to call them back with the report info (report #, officer ID, and police department info). They would then have the trace put on the line and after each one of the harassing calls you would hit *57. They would leave it on for 2 weeks and after the 2 weeks was up they would send the info to the police department.

That's just one of many possibilities.

Answer 2

Call 611..

Answer 3

Its different in every country. Call the police if it gets threatening. In Canada its *67 and it traces back.

Answer 4

in north america , it is universial to press star 57 this prompts line trace by telephone company , once this is done contact local police . please dont ignore . to many different people , this is not a prank ,. thank you

Answer 5

Just go to 411.com and do a reverse phone number search.

You put the phone number in the reverse phone number search, and if it's a landline phone, it'll tell you their name. If it's a cell phone number, it'll tell you what cell phone provider they use. Then, you can call their cell phone company, and report them. That's how I do it.
