take off the ringer before you go to bed....and call your phone provider to help you, don't take no for an answer!!!!

Contact your carrier. They can add a feature to your service(you may allready have it and not know it too) that wont let calls come thru that are marked Private or anonymous or out of area, etc. They MUST release their number to be displayed or the call will NOT come thru. OR you can request a trace be placed on your line if this keeps up. You MUST agree to press charges. They will NOT tell you who the caller is until they have 3 from the same number and you go to court. Actually, I think they never tell you. They press the charges for you, but you must agree to it. Unsure of how this is done. A trace is applied for FREE by the company or a small 10 cents per call charge or something like that. Only charge for traced calls if they do charge you.

If you have an caller ID# turn your ringer off. Later you can see who called. Then get the phone company involved. They will probably give you a new number for free. If you still get them then it might be someone you know.

If you have caller ID, jot down the number and report it to an operator. If you don't, call the operator and ask them what you can do.

call your phone company, there is a number you can press after you answer it and hang up that will report them to the phone company and you can press charges or atleast get the number.

maybe you could try blocking all calls from them.
If it keeps up try calling the operator or something.
Good luck!
