My teenage daughter's getting nuisance calls...?

Question

on her mobile. The cowardly caller bars her number. Is there any legitimate way of tracing the culprit?

Answer 1

The police can access any number - and so can NORAD - but unless you, your daughter or the nuisance caller have managed to procure some weapons grade plutonium or uranium I doubt if they'd be interested - NORAD that is - the police would be interested for the harassment factor.

All your daughter has to do to get rid of her - is copy her address book into another phone - preferably a pay-as-you go -being as this is a temporary measure - turn up the TV on one of the 24 hour news channels - put her regular mobile phone right in front of said TV and use the other mobile phone for a while - she may have to repeat the exercise a few times but I guarantee you it will so infuriate her nuisance caller - she'll stop doing it. Course if she is really determined she might try or more direct approach - but this is unlikely because as you said - she's a coward - nuisance callers are just about one thing - ATTENTION !

Answer 2

I have seen a website that has a link where you can trace calls. I don't know if I'm allowed to say the address. It is ugreet.me.uk and look for the 'noticeboard'.

Best advice about niusance callers is, if they are talking, then just put the phone next to loud music, that will get rid of them. If this is re-occurring, the police will be able to trace the caller. I suggest that when they next call again, get a male to say down the phone: "ok mrs. smith, we've traced the call, its in the hands of the police now!" and say it in a loud, confident voice, that should get rid of them. Hope this is of any use.

My wife was getting the same problem, we used to just let the caller keep ringing, without answering it. If its someone important, they will leave a message.

The best way to get back your ex is https://tr.im/AKiLB

Here's the hard part: Pretend she never existed, like it was all a dream, don't call her, that will make you the smaller person, be the bigger person since you deserve better, what she did to you on Valentines Day was immature, especially after dating for four years. This person wasted allot of your time and through it out the window. Go out tonight, even it it is only yourself, don't drink and call or feel sorry for yourself, this will only cause you embarrassment! I know your hurting..This will eventually will go away in time. Today is not a good day for you and your emotions are spinning all over the place.

Please, whatever you do, don't answer her calls and don't call her. If she keeps calling, which she pro bally won't, don't return her call for 5 days. Make her sweat and DO Not get back together right away if you discuss this in 5 days. Tell her since she Broke up with you, you have done allot of thinking, and had the taste of "being single again" and you would like more time being "friends" for now, so you are sure you are making the right decision. Remember "She decided she didn't want to be with you" so the door is open for you to get out and see what you have been missing for four years. You honestly need to do this for yourself.

She doesn't know, but what she did was give you the best valentines day present you will ever get! A new start and a new beginning, use it to your advantage. You will look back on this and Thank God this happened now instead of 4 more wasted years of YOUR life. Today does suck, stay Strong and I promise you your life is going to be so much more exciting and you are going to be happy. If you continue to call and call her, she will think of you as needy and won't want you. She is going to rethink what she did to you today and will be hurt, if you act like you could care less. Girls always want the ones they can't have. That is who you are now to her. Let her suffer,realizing what a mistake she made. This will drive her crazy. Right now she is on cloud 9 thinking you will take her back, OH, is she stupid!

Your life isn't ruined, hers is..She lost someone special, and gave you a gift to let to live life and find someone you deserve. You are not getting back at her, your teaching her what an idiot she is and what she lost and what you gained without her. SO when You eventually talk to her, tell her thank you for what she did...
She will be hurt and you will be happy!

Answer 4

She probably has an idea of who it is. I've been in her situation before. It is too much hassle to try and trace the number. New sim card costs £10 (ish). Then for every person that she gives her number to she must tell them to keep that to herself.

The prank caller is either doing this purely for a laugh or because they are trying to hurt your daughter. They won't give up, so she must stop her current number right away cos this could go on for months.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Only via the police who would instruct the telco to put malicious call trace on the phone. This keeps the line open when they trigger it so they can trace the call back to the originators mobile.

However, this requires a serious threat and nusiance calls wouldn't count.

Drastic, but why not change the SIM card ?

Answer 6

tell her not to answer the phone to withheld numbers and hopefuly the caller will get bored if not contact the company her phone is registered with and explain to them whats going on they may be able to help or at least get a record of the calls made to her phone from the caller if its alot the police will intervene especialy whit the anti bully campain runnin

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/l4PaM

Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.

The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.

Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

Answer 8

you can buy a new sim card from ebay for £1.. then only give the number out to trustworthy's

untill then.. tell her to answer it and not say a thing.. put it down..and leave it running... then the caller will soon get bored.. and have a big bill...!!

Answer 9

i saw a website once which tracks any number but u need the caller i.d so thats that option stuffed. as a last option try getting a new sim card. they r pretty cheap & if u get the phone unlocked she can use any network.

Answer 10

probably not. just tell your daughter to turn her phone off except when whe is using it, and to not answer calls where she doesn't know the person. I suspect it has something to do with either her present or past boyfriend. The girl is punishing your daughter. for either dating her ex, or for dumping the brother or friend of the girl doing the calling. Teenaged girls can be pretty stupid, and the girl will sooner than later be bragging about it. Then you can tell her parents about her stupid acts.
