So today (monday) I worked 3pm-11pm. Then I have 3 hours to sleep so I basically go into a quiet room at work and lay on the floor for a few hours in the dark before my next shift at 2am. I have my cell phone with me because I am constantly on call for work and whatnot and it has to stay on. So I'm all enjoying my 3 hours of sleep and the phone rings. Its a restricted number so I answer it and they hang up. So now I have 30 mins before my next shift and I should be sleeping cause I still have to work 2am-12pm. Then go home for 3 hours and come back for another 3pm-11pm shift. Man, that makes me so angry. I can't go back to sleep. I have been getting prank phone calls every night at 1:30am from a restricted number. Is there anyway to trace them if they are blocked? I can't change my number cause its registered for work.

If you call your cell phone provider and tell them that you've been consistantly getting harrassing phone calls then there's probably something that can be done about it. I dunno, just an idea.

It's been me all along

Why are you working such crazy shift? Which rippers are you serving at?

Surfofpink

Don't work there anymore. That was my college years.. lol. I'm a brain injury rehabilation specialist at a residential care clinic. I am the only person with medical compitencies so I have to be there. If anything happens... I am the only person who is certified to give CPR, Medication or any medical treatment. At least we have the internet!

If it gets out of hand, I believe you can file a report with the police.

Nova_Dust

I don't care what you do, but I like the CPR part. I bet it is quite a sight. Oh yes, oh mine...

bahahahahahahaha!!!! lets see... the police have three standard answers for when you call them:

1. why are you disturbing my slumber... call your insurnace co.
2. is your life in danger? no? oh ok, lemme take down a report on my imaginary typewriter here....
and
3. OMG, serious???.... someone quick!! call the police

Honest, I'd just change my number and don't give it out to just anyone. Cuz even the phone co, I'm not sure if they can trace the origin, cuz the origin can be blocked right at the source from the other provider on the other end.

just find em so i can beat them up for u katherine

imported_gatherer

only on certian types of trunks. the old MF trunks were like that and ANI wasn't transmitted the newer (and most commonly used) trunks (ISUP) transmitt that data in the SS7 message with the special prefix in front of the calling parties phone number to indicate it's a private number. Now as for getting the phone company to devulge that information... you'd have more luck sticking 4 horseshoes up your bum with the horse still attached to them.

forward your number to a police station.

Turbo4U

Sounds like a streesful job. Always have to be on the ball.

imported_Dawson

yeah call your service provider and i think they can trace the call

Gallagher

heheeh

imported_gatherer

didn't I just say they won't give out a number if the call record shows private... unless you have a warrent they will not give it out... it's against the law for them to do so.

how do I know?

I work for SurfOfPink's wireless service provider.

GinoLicious

yeah it sucks, happens 2 me sometiems. Cheap bastards. The phone call thing. not work. I do jack all.

nashall

i know on home phones theres a way that if your number is blocked you cant call in unless the number shows...can you do that with a cell phone to?

imported_GoldBadge

Gatherer is correct. The prank call thing happened to our household and we couldn't get any information out of the phone company.

Surfofpink

Well fix it! Gawd... Idiots!

lol

imported_loudsubz

i feel for the patients that you have to look after (if ever) lol

hmm lack of sleep, who knows what could happen
