Call your phone company. Tell them what's going on. They can trace the number.  They can also block incoming private numbers (at least Bellsouth can for a small fee).  \n\nNot sure the police can do much with out having you contact your phone company first. (I dunno, but it's worth a shot)\n\nIf I were you, I would write down the dates, times and what this jerk said to you.  \n\nAnyone can use *67 to make their number private. So I bet it's someone you know....maybe stalking you...or an ex...(I say this b/c he's calling you repeatedly)\n\nNext time he calls tell him there's a trace on your phone and that you will persue criminal charges. Scare him!\n\nHere's a WHOLE WEBSITE that tells you what to do!\nhttp://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs3-hrs2.htm\nand\nhttp://danenet.wicip.org/dcccrsa/saissues/phone.html\n\n"What to do if you receive a harassing call:\n\nHang up as soon as you determine that you've received an improper call. Hang up calmly, resist the temptation to slam the phone down on the receiver. \nListen for background noises or details in the caller's voice, but do not stay on the phone just to do this. \nKeep a pad of paper near the phone to write down the day, date, time, and nature of the call. \nYou may report these types of calls to your local police agency. \nMost telephone companies have a nuisance or threatening phone call bureau that you can contact for guidance. \nHave a supply of extra cassette tapes for your answering machine, so you can retain the tape of an improper call.

THe only options you have are to block restricted numbers from calling you. That can only be done wit land line phones, not cell phones. I know it is annoying, hopefully one day the phone companies will fix this.\n\nTo get blocked numbers from not calling you is to request this service from your phone company.

::shrug:::\n\nThat number doesn't show up on any of the reverse directories that I searched, including AT&T's and TollFreePhone.com\n\nIt's possible that this is an internal number assigned to some marketing company - most of the time you can not directly dial in to one of these numbers, even though someone using that number can dial out to yours.

Yes, just press *67 or *69(i can't remember which, just try both.) before you dial the number.

No, it's not illegal for them to block their phone #'s.  You can however block their calls by getting on the national no call list &/or getting a privacy manager for your home phone.  Call your phone company about it, it makes whoever is calling you ID themselves if their # is blocked.

I can't but you can...just look for the "opt out" option usually somewhere towards the bottom of the app. Or just call the cust. service # and yell @ them!

Different phone companies have varying ways of doing this. I never found that the TPS was much good. Sure, you can sue people who violate it, but as often as not, they don't tell you properly who they are and they certainly all withhold their number.\n\nUnless you commonly get calls from some mobiles, schools or public institutions, which also withhold their number, you can easily set your phone to reject all calls where the number is withheld. You can also set it and unset it easily by dialling a 3 digit code. The code varies, I believe, depending on the network, so either consult the instructions that came when you subscribed to the line or call the help desk.

on a personal computer, just make it private, right click, there should be something of the sort there
