Obscene Phone Calls

Here in the US we have star 69. not sure if you are in the US or not. but if you are and you want to call someone back hit star 69 and then you can call them back. If it was me i would just hang up and not say anything if it continues report if to the authorities. and the telephone company.

You can always call your phone company or operator and let them know, they can trace the call and let you know where it is coming from, even if it is private. I have done that because this guy kept calling all night with a private number and I had enough. His number was traced back and they released his number to me and I called him and told him if it happened again I was turning it into the police. Sure enough he did it again and the police were called and he then never called again. You can also have a system put on your phone that will not allow anyone with a private number to call you and if they try, they will hear "Soory this number doesn't except private blocked calls." I would look into it more because these prank calls are annoying.

I have gotten phone calls like that. They are so aggravating. I have a couple of whistles for when we are out on the boat....they can be heard for up to a couple of miles. Before I got caller ID, I would blow that whistle as hard as I could into the phone. It was very effective. I think any loud noise maker of some kind would be a big help to you. Also, caller id is a very good thing to have. I would definitely recommend it.

I used to get obscene phone calls also in the past. They were from a private caller also. I called the phone company and got my phone number changed and unlisted. I also got caller ID added to my phone. I can press *69 and dial the number right back now if I ever receive those phone calls again in the future. I would definitely call the number back if I could and I would also report it to the authorities.

I've never personally gotten obscene phone calls but years ago my Mom did. They always came when my father was at work and they really 'freaked' my mom out. My dad hooked up a tape recorder to the phone and the next time they called my mom taped what the guy said. When dad got home he listened to it and recognized the voice - it was a man that worked with my dad who eventually was fired after my dad played the tape for their boss.
