Prank callers>?

Question

For some reason some kids keep calling my house, they know my name, my girlfriends name, and even the names of the people who live with me. I really don't mind, but my grandmother is starting to get very upset. I want to find out who's doing it...only issue is, the number comes up blocked/private... how would i find out who it is?

Answer 1

Make a note of the day and time of several of the calls.  File a harassment complaint with the police department.  Take the report number and call your phone company.  They can get the phone number that you're being called from and the police can handle it from there.

You can also have the phone company not allow blocked calls to come through to your house.  Before the call will go through the caller needs enter a number to allow his number to be displayed on your phone.  A friend of mine did this once to prevent sales calls from blocked numbers.

Answer 2

Try contacting the police, they may help you unlock that "blocked" caller setting-you'll find the number and the kids will get in LOTS of trouble. :)
