Really important serious question about private callers and phone companies!!!!!?

Question

This prank caller is frustrating and keeping my family up at night at they know my name, my number is not published so I know it is someone I know. He is a private caller.

My question is that if I call my phone company and tell them that this is going on and I would like to know the phone number and identity of the prank caller, will they let me have that information? Please Answer seriously and truthfully. Best answer 10 points!!!

Answer 1

That information probably won't be made available to you at any point.

Your best bet is to contact both the phone company and the police department and let them know what's going on.  If necessary, there is a way to 'lock' the last number dialed for authorities to use to trace the call, which they will likel inform you of if needed.  Between the two, you should stop getting calls, though whether or not you'll get the identify of the caller is far more debatable.

Answer 2

I had the same problem except I knew who the person was.  I just didn't know the persons number.

The phone company will take effective action except you have to grin and bear it and log time and dates.  You might want to call your company and find out what is appropriate for them to take action.  Harassment is a crime and they will do something.  Trust me.  They will not give you the number though.  Sorry.

Answer 3

I don't think they will release that info. Try calling your phone company and having ALL private numbers blocked, cause what if you block the number that he is calling you from now, and he just calls you from a different private number later. Call the police, maybe you need a restraining order. Good luck...
