Okay, I'm getting real damn irrated. Some random ass person keeps calling my cell and not saying anything. I know its a female cause I waited for awhile while ringing and then pickup and heard them talk. They are calling with the Private Caller feature. Anyway I can or call someone that may trace the calls so that I may slap the hell out of someone? Thanx for the help
 
there is a way to block private calls. i dont know how to do though one of my buddies did it to his phone. you may have to call the phone company to get it done dont know. but then either they wont call or the caller id will show up.

I'm sure we all made prank calls sometimes in our lives and I love getting prank calls andscrewing with them back with the genuine waste land charm :ha: but what they dont sya nothing, I can't really do anything but press alot of buttons to piss em off. Anyway, time before last they call, I said "You think this is funny now, but when I get the number, its gonna be damn hilarious!" and they hung up. Well next time they call and my mom answer "Hello, Florence Police Department" and they havent called back.......I still wanna know who it is so I may have my revenge.
 
Well for me, it really was a little kid. Probably some 5 year old. He thought I was his mom's friend or some poop.

When I talked to his Dad, his dad was all like, "who's this?" Then I had to explain wtf was going on. Kind of a pain, but I haven't had that little kid call back since.

Although, if he would have called me one more time, I was gonna head over to his house to personally bitch at his parents.
 
I think if you call your cell phone provider you can have them tell you what number it was that came though. If you explain to them that you think it could be someone harassing you than they should give up the number. Just sweet talk them.
 
Cool, I'll stop by my service provider during my jobsearch tommorrow. Man today just wasn't my day, lol. Thanx for the help guys.
 
tell you the truth the only way you will get the number is by law. If you are someone that was in serious danger then the law would open up the phone records and find out who made the call to your cell. other than that youare screwed. I know what youare going through. I tried to get my Cellular provider to stop them but no go.

Sorry buddy but you are SOL.

If it were me, I start messin with them. Next time it happens, breathe real heavy and ask them in psycho kind of voice "wanna hear my c*ck?" Then rub the phone on your shirt or something. Then say "Oh, ya like that don't ya? Ya want more?" then fart in the phone (or at least so they can hear it real good). Then come back with "Oops, I let one go when you get me all excited." Then repeat until they hang up.

Screw it, what are they going to do? They called you, so I seriously doubt that they could get you in trouble, it wasn't a crank call you made, they did it.


I used to do that alot, sometimes different. There was a time when I played Medal of Honor online alot, and the freakin telemarketers were pestering the hell out of me. I got to the point where when the phone rang, I'd check the ID, and if it said anything other than someone I knew, I'd hit the talk button and toss the phone in front of the speaker. They'd sit there and listed to gunfire and grenades and al the other sound effects while I played. they started getting smart with the computers and I had to start saying "Hello" to get their system to transfer the call to a real person. They don't call anymore now, I kind of miss it in a sick twisted way. The bastards don't like me anymore.
 
Damn Error you crack me up. don't get pissed GET PSYCHO!!!

" wanna hear my c*ck?" LMAO!!!

I usually mess with them back, read the first few posts.

As for telemarketers, them bastards can call my house all they want. My mom does so many telephone and online survueys we have been put in alot of drawing over time. Thats how i got my Sony Video Camera(FREE). We've won drawing up to 200 dollars and we constantly get 10 dollar shere and there from surveys.
 
error just almost made me piss my pants with those quotes , i had this one kid about the age of 11 call my cell and start playin some poop on me. eventually i got his phone number, went over to his neighborhood and threw water ballons at him LOL, he made my cell fone minutes decrease by 15 mins , ahh , but it was fun, of course my friends and i didnt hurt him, we just had fun :whack:
 
Here is how you handle problem callers. You can put a trap on your phone via your service. It's very simple, report the problem to your service they will set it up for you. There may be a small fee for the service. What you will have to do when the party calls is log the time. Make sure that your clock/watch is synchronized with the phone company. Report it immediately when the call occurs. They will give you typically a 5-minute window. When the phone number shows up 2-3 times during the 5-minute window you will have the perp dead to rights. It works every time. I have personally used the method at our business with 100% results. You may also use the local PD or Sheriff to handle the person(s) if it has become a serious issue.

The phone company will not provide to you reverse tracing as stated ealier. Has to do with right to privacy laws.
