prank call's help pleases

[Danny s-p]

is there a way of finding out who pranking you on with held as the lass is getting it really bad and it starting to really upset her. or is there away to get it stopped all help welcome :( doing my head in seeing her this upset

[NovaBoi92]

try phoning up the network and see if they can put a block on the number thats been calling? if its coming up as blocked when the calls come through, the phone network should be able to get the number and block it. pretty sure it can be done, but i dont think that they can give you the number not 100%

[MK1_Ben]

You can contact BT to get withheld calls rejected on your landline, It costs a small amount on top of your bill each month though (£3 I think).

[swedge]

I think you might need to contact the police first so you get an incident number then call bt or if it's your mobile call your provider and explain and I'm sure they will ask for an incident number

[Jack]

Some phones have a menu setting to automatically reject witheld or private numbers (I know all my old Nokias had the option) - obviously they'll still go to answerphone though, but at least you can just junk your messages without listening to them. They'll soon get bored hopefully.

Other than that, I'd call your network operator first and tell them you're getting harassment calls. Keep a log of the date/time of each call, as they'll need this to check their records. Also if you get referred to the police (which would be your next step if the service provider do sod all) a log will come in handy. Not sure if the fuzz will be too bothered though if its just pranking and no actual verbal calls

[Andy]

Its probably them retards off radio 1,they still find bollox like that funny.

Seriously though,your network provider wont want to know,they told me i had to report it to the police and get a court injunction type thing.All i asked for was the name!
Good old 02 dings

[Yorkie]

Failing all that change your number, a pain yes but if the police cant do anything and your net work cant then thats an option.

[Jack]

Andy, your provider won't give out a name or number due to DPA, they'd need police (camera) action to give out that info. They should be able to just block the calls though

[christurboo]

if its a mobile it should have the option to block witheld calls, mine has anyways may be some phones not sure.

try settings then calls hopfully you can get it sorted mate.

I used to get prank calls/threatened a lot when I was younger, I was always in trouble or some kind of arguement. But in all fairness I used to enjoy it! One day I had enough of my ex ringing me and giving me grief, so I rang my network provider, and they are pretty much powerless. So I think, the only option is to change your number.

But i always say it's cowardly to ring with your number with held. A classic I had was some gangster on the other end, saying in some hardcore voice " who the f@ck is this" i replied "what do you mean who's this, you rang me!" Lol, I think he was that embarrassed at his threatening prank call, he hung up!

[DAFTJOHN]

Yep the fuzz have to go to the carrier with a specific form to request the detail and at that point they can ask for a bar and also contact the owner that's doing the calls if they can trace them

[mowgli]

Put your phone on divert to the samaritans

[Jeff16v]

For the network and police to get involved you need to get a certain number of calls within a 24 hours period, It also helps if the call is threatening as well. The Police will issue a crime ref intitally but you need to document how many calls you are getting especially if its in the middle of the night.

Honestly its really difficult to stop them without it being over a long period and frequently and of a disturbing nature.

[MK1_Ben]

As I said previously, simplest way is to just pay for one of BT's "advanced" phone services. :)

[mowgli]

if you have any inkling of who it is, get it diverted to someone close to them..........

[Rich654]

Is it a mobile phone? if so what kind of phone because I have an app on my HTC Desire HD that rejects all witheld calls.

[wwmnw]

You could just ask me to stop Danny :p jokes.

What kind of phone does she have?

[Mieran]

Don't pick up when you see a withheld number, simple.

[Danny s-p]

Don't pick up when you see a withheld number, simple.cant do her mam calls on with held and try saying to argue scot girl just to hang up and ignore them ad rather not thank you

[Hoochie]

cant do her mam calls on with held

Surely if her mam is aware of whats going on, she can display her number when calling her? then just ignore all others..

[Danny s-p]

her mam keep her number blocked for some privet matter a don't no y but she wont show her number and only give the number out to trusted peeps

[Hoochie]

Danny it only takes a few seconds to hit "show number" in the menu, then after a call to her daughter "hide number". But if it is bothering her as much as you say it is then as mentioned earlier, she maybe should just change her number and only give new one to family and close friends, yeah it's a bit of a ball ache but got to be worth it to not be stressed everytime the phone rings.

[Mieran]

could be her mum prank calling her?

[Danny s-p]

no her mam has a proper scots voice you cud not change. lol and huchie av said changing the number but she on contract how wood she go about this

[Southie]

Danny just contact the mobile company and say you want to change your number, they'll probably send you out a new sim card, basically you'll have to do like you would when starting a new contract ;)

[Hoochie]

What he said^^^ she just needs to ring her provider, explain that she is getting lots of prank calls and would like a new number.

[phazer]

You can change your number without having to even give a reason. I can only talk about Orange but it costs about £30 to do it and they give a number that's been quarantined for 6 months so you don't get marketing calls or someone calling the previous owner of the number.

That would explain why when I tried contacting an old mate I've not spoken too for about 7 months some random woman answered who said she didn't know of him.

[Gareth_C]

Mate, that makes no ****ing sense what so ever, stop being a lazy **** using text speak, it makes things hard to read when people could help you.

[brainsnova]

I don't mind getting prank calls as nothing said to me bothers me but I'd try to record it and play it back when they phone again

[Danny s-p]

[L33 LEG]

I seem to remember years ago on a really old nokia i put a code in and it would show the number of witheld numbers. Im guessing this isnt possible now due to legal reasons though.

As said though, either ignore the call, answer it and dont speak until they get bored or change the number.
