How To Identify An Anonymous Cell Phone Caller?

A family member has some issues with a caller who is not what you'd call menacing but is potentially disturbing enough to at least find out who he is for our peace of mind. Unlike landline cross-directories, this info is not readily accessible. Any help, particularly from a present or former employee with special insight, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have had some experience with this unfortuantly. I know some carriers will allow you to at least have info as what state the call came from. Now if it gets bad enough you can get a court order and then the phone companies can come in and get the number. Just call the phone company and ask them for help.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, the privacy laws in Canada are a lot more rigid than in the States where there are some pay services which have access to the registered cell phone cross directory information. In this particular case, the search does confirm that there's a specific province (local), name and address that's attached to the number but will not sell it if it's outside the US. Again, any ideas on how to be resourceful is very much appreciated. We probably will visit the local police in the near future but would rather not since it reveals a lack of trust on our part. I hope you successfully resolved your situation. The little girl who disappeared in Vt, supposedly to meet someone she was secretly talking to online has only deepened our concern.

I am sorry I didnt even realize you were in Canada should have gotten then clue when you said what carrier you were on.

I'm not sure how to ID the caller (and I believe you're right...it's gonna be tough - take a look at their privacy policy), but there are services you can subscribe to that will not allow blocked or hidden numbers to get through. The caller will receive a message letting them know you don't accept calls from these numbers and they will be forced to call from a non blocked number...or not call you at all. I know this isn't what you're looking for, but it could be a good stop gap while you're searching.

>.<!!!! that is creeepyy =\
isn't that harrasing??? 0.0
but yaaa~ do what huggy said, block unknown/private calls
that should totally get him to avoid calling her/his cell phone >.<
