Hi, apparently we have been having some prank calls who is after my mum for some fkin reason, they are dialing from a witheld number and would like to know if theres any way we can trace this number w/o police getting involved or asking bt to do a call barring!?

To trace the number you need the police to be involved.

However you can contact BT and tell them the problem, they should give you chose to refuse free for one month, them when the person calls you you use the choose to refuse service to block the caller.

A trick we use for the reception at work is if the girls get a crank call, blow a referee type whistle down the phone to the cranker..It hasn't failed yet.

I used to do that when we kept getting calls from people trying to sell us crap, even though we'd been on the TPS for years, they had a warning if they called again they would be deafened, some did call back so I'd deafen the bastard. Who cares if it may be classed as assault, they were warned.

i contacted the police, got my ref number. now need to contact the Nuisance Call Breau. at the moment its closed, it says call back during the business working hours, i hope thats tomorrow!!!!!????? i want to find out who the women is

You more than likely won't get to find out.

They will be dealt with appropriately and that is usually enough to make them realise how stupid they have been if they have half an ounce of sense.

You could also arrange to have your phone number not accept withheld numbers. Then the only way anyone can get thru to you is if they let their number be available for you to see. I've found this stops many nuisance calls, kids, etc.

its not kids, its someone who actually has issue with my mum. today she done it twice and this time she was talking dirty, so i did the same, next time she phones up lets see if i can burst her ear drum, does anyone know where i can get really high pitched sound recording to deafen the bich!?

just put the phone next to your hi fi and put it on full volume

then she will think why did i do this hehehehe

its too late now, lol she keep doing it lolz

If you want something really horrible, get hold of an audio test signal, its just a continuous beep, crank that up to full volume and its horrible. 1kHz Test Tone is particularly nasty to the old ear drums!

You could play THIS tone down the phone on a high volume.

^
NICE

But its on pc. My phone has handsfree but its 'handsfree' for some reason?
At the moment stopped now. I'll think of something tomorrow!

My mum told me to turn the phone plug off lol

I think i know which one to use, its the one where something is normal then that scary face comes up,

Bring on Monday

shes at it again, this time she ordered us a pizza... £19.50 for fks sake, we had to go to the takeaway to explain the situation, they were ok but i felt sorry for them. on a positive note she phoned again twice and this gives me confidence that when i contact the beureo then hopefuly we can trace her!

EDIT:

hes a strange question, if i know a number can i find out who that person is?

try typing it in to google, they could use payphones, the police will be able to trace / deal with it.

Call it and ask them who they are

Simple thing is ring up BT like someone already posted and get caller with held reject.

It may cost a extra £1.50 a month or so but atleast it will stop them.

It's dearer on BT than cable, on BT it's £4 per month.

BT will give you chose to refuse free for one month if you inform them of nuisance calls, this allows you to select which caller you don't want to get through at all.

Well regardless £4 would be worth it i am sure in the long run.

On Telewest to they changed our number when we was getting nuisance calls for free for the first change.

Perhaps BT do similar

And it stops your local GP phoning you up too. They, for obvious reasons, have their numbers withheld.

jack

Can leave a mobile number for that if needs be

Hi, i managed to get all of our calls traced, i dont think they will listen in but the procedure is when the bich rings, hang up, pick it up and dial 1477 and then a message will read 'this call has been traced'. So bring it on BiTcH!

fingers crossed hehe

say in a robotic voice "the time at the third stroke will be......"

works a treat

For the best whistle use the FOX whistle, its pealess and earpeircingly loud. Keep it next to the phone.

Fox whistle

*edit* Just looked on the above site and they do a glow in the dark one now.....Looks like my 10year old orange one is going to be replaced....soon.

You do realise its illegal
