LukeSR Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Tell her to ring up who ever she is with and give them the number to block. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 just had a quick scan about the net. says either ask the service provider if they can trace it and maybe block it or go to the police. personally though i would just never answer a withheld call. get bored after a few tries.

Asad Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 would they still be able to block them if they call on withheld? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marck glanza V Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 if she fones up whoever shes with she should be able to get all withheld numbers blocked Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig_N Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Asad the best thing to do because i get a lot of calls regarding this at work is if you ring the service provider your friend is with they will block the numbers but they may not be able to because the person has now withheld there number so they may just offer a new number.Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 ill let her know to just get ALL withheld numbers blocked..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedFreak Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 The problem with blocking all withheld numbers though, is that some banks/insurance companies numbers are withheld. So if for instance her bank's was withheld, they wouldn't be able to ring on her mobile.If they leave a number your service provider can definatly block that, but as you have said, they just ring through on withheld now.I would personally just change number. But then, I guess if it is someone she knows, they may be able to get her new number too.I hate prank callers...so pathetic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 i had a problem when trying to sell my old car i put the number on the window and i had idiots calling me at the wind up. i kept there number when they never witheld it 1 time and i went to the shops at my g/f's bit and fnd the number and watched to see which 1 of the wee boys answerd it, walked over gave him a slap on the mouth and a kick up the arse and it all stopped, but getting the number blocked works too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 The service provider can't block numbers, they'll merely offer to give your friend a new number, i'd do that, then get the number, post it anywhere you can, make small ads up offering something uber cool for silly money, public toilets, random walls etc, or find out who the number is provided by, get in contact, explain the situation, see what they can do?Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedFreak Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Or just pick it up and leave it on the side. They will soon give up when they start using all their minutes or credit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiggo Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Or just pick it up and leave it on the side. They will soon give up when they start using all their minutes or credit.^^ this could work so long as its not a ghey premium number which charges you as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I would probably try making a list of the dates and times the call comes through. If it's withheld you won't know if it's the same number. But after a while you can contact the provider and ask them if they can possibly check who it is. Or ring them and ask them if that is possible before hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
