Do you mean find out what the number is, or you have the number in caller ID, and want to know who owns it? If it's the latter, just google the number, and a whole list of companies will come who'll give you the owner's name, for a fee.

Is it a smart phone by chance? I can't help with tracking it, but there's a whole lot of call/text blocking apps that you can get. They have a wide variety of ways to handle blocked numbers.

Report the harassment to the police. It'll stop or the caller can be tracked down usually.

I know you can block call from certain numbers on Verizon's website.
Maybe AT&T has the same?
What kind of harassment are we talking about?

You could post their number on GD.

If its a cell phone, they won't have anything. Waste of money.

On my htc desire I could block numbers but on my s3 I can't. Years ago (10+) I had a group of guys calling and harassing me and I finally went to the local pd and they called the number back and never heard from them again.

Its a s3,and a cell # if that makes a difference.He may enjoy talking to others email me and I will forward information.

What kind of phone calls are they?  On my wifes phone we started getting collection agencies looking for "Jose Guzman". At first we where polite and we'd explain its a new phone & number, and we dont know 'Jose'.  Sometimes it took a couple of calls like that and the calls stopped.  Then a year later they started again.  This time the guys were jerks.  They'd then didn't believe us that we dont know Jose, and accuse us of hiding him or something.  They started calling 3 or more times a day.  A google search of the phone number gave us the name of the business tied to it.  Also when they called I'd ask for their address.  They were then taken aback by that, stammered, but always gave it.  I called consumer affairs...think its part of the WI DOJ.  They then sent a letter to these guys on our behalf to stop calling, this isn't Jose's phone number.  That seemed to work as its been years since the last call.  That, or Jose starting paying his bills....yeah right.

Currently the phone #blocked by the "wireless account provider" so thats a good thing,I couldnt find the phone menu button on her phone screen like in the video,but I tried.No this clown isnt a bill collector or anything,tried being nice and saying its a wrong phone # and please dont call back thats how this all began.....my concern is he will share it with the rest of his tribe and it will escalate.No these were real long rambling ghetto mumblings with flowery language to put it nicelly.I will wait and see,hope it stops,so far so good.again thank you.

find his cell phone provider. (Google the number, read some of the analysis.)

 



Next, find the email gateway to texting the phone.  Usually it's ##########@attmobile.com or some thing like that.




That will let you email lots and lots and lots of stuff to the phone at all hours of the day.  Random characters, images, etc.  




Essentially, a denial of service attack on his phone.




Do this at times when the caller does not make calls.  "Hey jim, why your phone going off like crazy?" "dunno?!"  Make him have to explain himself to people he's got contact with.

You could always post the guys number on Craigslist in the "men seeking men" or men seeking animals" section with a "call between 1-4AM".

Does her phone service include call forwarding? Does the scumbag call at the same times everyday? If answers to both are yes, have her put call forwarding on to the local P.D. just before his calls are due. It'll be his number that shows up on their caller I.D. ... they'll find him.

First off, I'm calling shenanigans, no one spends time behind bars for harassing phone calls. If they did there was more to it then some douche just calling your parents.

Hell yeah. Put up fake for sale ones with the number too. CL buyers are retarded as hell, they don't stop calling, even when you told them you sold it.

I did this a while back with someone that wouldn't quit calling. Make sure you use a throwaway email address and post their full number, so the bots can find it. Do it in several bigger cities.
