aside from not picking it up, what the hay else could I freakin' do, 'cuz the freakin' phone just rings, and I need to distinguish between important calls. number change is the absolute last option.

it's annoying

solutions welcome.

I'd get it traced, get the police involved. Probably some prankster. Maybe call 611 see if there's a bad condition on the line first that's causing it, but it sounds more like it is someone doing it.

Is this on your cellphone or land line? If it's on your cell you should be able to go into the contacts and add the number to a reject list.

amen to this. I'm writin' the call times in my planner. this means WAR. Some bit* from St. Paul I bet.

By the way, I don' have a g/f or wife, and I'm not a pimp, I'm not bi either. Man dude, this mo-Fu* - is going to get it when I load up the number from the in-mail paperwork.

good thinking; prankster better be prayin' soon

Yep, they can leave a message. Do not answer any private or restricted calls anymore. None.

They keep doing it because you keep answering.

yeah, set it up to only accept unblocked calls. I had this problem and went to the police. With regards to calls you've already received, it turns out that they can't ALWAYS trace it if it's a private number. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't, it depends on the phone company of the originating caller. If they put a trap on the line though they will be able to trace all incoming calls from that point forward.

Why are most of your replies always filled with a nuance of unfounded elitism?

Just wondering...

Because you only read off topic.
And why would you assume it's unfounded? :confused:

I believe translated into english, he meant to post something to the effect of "Someone with a number listed as 'private' repeatedly calls, then hangs up. Are you aware of any alternatives to simply not picking up the phone?"

Sad what texting has done to this generation.....

take college writing and read the paper a lot

you'll understand good-hell why.

I hate texting by the way.

thx for the optimistic and negative remarks, it makes the grey colors of life fade faster.

I'm thinking about programming: skype numbers to automatically call this fvcker, 24/7 until the number is forced for a disabled. run it on several Virtual OS with multi-handle simulators into the thousands usin' .net

p.s. friend had a friend who pushed 20,000 e-mails at once into someone's inbox, overloading AOL (dial-up days)... AOL then, immediately banned the user account of the e-mailer.
