 Topic: Tracing phone calls
Posted: 04 November 2008 at 9:58am |

Anyone know if it is possible to trace phonecalls that have come from a witheld number to a mobile?? Yesterday I had 16 phonecalls from a witheld number, which I didn't answer cos I think its rude when people withold their number. They didn't leave a message, and now today I've already had 3 calls.
Getting a tad annoyed now.

No idea how to do that, but when DH calls from work it always shows as withheld, so it could be a harmless business call - although you'd think if it was they'd leave a message.

Yeah, thats whats annoying me! If it is just a harmless business call then surely they should just leave a message!
And personally I think that 16 calls in one day is close to being classed as a nuisance!

Maybe you could put a voicemail message on your phone politely telling them to either leave a message or stop ringing! It is prob somebody trying to sell you something. I love having caller ID on our home phone and I tend not to answer private numbers as they are usually surveys.

Do any of your friends have confidential numbers? I'm one of those "annoying" people who shows up as Number Withheld - after previous problems with a stalker and nuisance phone calls, my number is now private and will stay that way forever...so it always shows as Number Withheld. I'm also an annoying person who doesn't usually leave a message unless it's work-related

Alot of business's have private numbers, esp when calling from an extension.
I am one of those people who hang up before an answerphone gets it because I don't want to have to pay to speak to a machine.
I say just answer the call! They probably think its annoying your not answering lol

yea i had a stalker too so my number is withhelh but anyone who ring 16 times is cleary not a business or professional etc... i know any class of annoying call can be tracked hapilly by the police because it is a form of badgering/terrorizing/ (cant think of the right word)

The NZ law is, you have to note down 4 examples, exact day and time and call your provider, they have to be within 7 days, and you have to log the trace within 7 days of the first example.
You have to give permission for your provider to disclose your number to the person doing it and they are told to stop. If they keep doing it, they get warned again and 3rd time they loose their connection and any future connections with that provider.
Due to confidentuality laws, they cannot give you the number of the person calling you, or disclpse who they are.
Sorry chick! Must be really annoying.

LOL, I know its probably annoying them that I'm not answering, but surely if it was that important they'd just leave a message.
I have people who do phone me from private numbers but they always leave me a message. And I've contacted all those people to see if its them and its not.
Ok, maybe I'll just have to answer next time and tell them off!

The other option is to get someone else to answer your phone. My mum had a series of missed calls on her phone, no message but could see the number, I ended up ringing them from my phone and try to id them by being a 'wrong number' call, but as soon as they answered she knew who it was

Mystery solved.
