Default Withheld Numbers!

Some goon keeps ringing me and hiding their number, then when I answer they put the phone down! Normally I NEVER answer it if someone doesn't leave their number, or the phone doesn't know the number, but I am "expecting" a call.

Is there anyway my operator can find out who it is?

Yes mate, you have to keep a record of times etc & then they can trace them (afaik)

You need to speak to the police to "Track" the caller

LOADS of paper work to fill out too

If Mark is right then it isn't really worth the agro I think I will just let it ring. Will still keep a geeky note if it happens again though.

You can change your account to deny withheld numbers, save on tele sales idiots phoning you

I dont really answer private numbers. If there to lazy to put the caller i.d on, im too lazy to answer it. I had one today, & they put the phone down

If they call again, dont hang up on them, your wasteing there phone bill or credit, so they'll soon get bored.

Can't remember the exact sequence, but ypu can block the number as soon as you put the phone down by typing a bunch of numbers, * and # in.
Call BT and ask them how to do it, I think it's free.
