It's pretty obvious when someone that you're ignoring calls 15 times and then suddenly you get a call from an unlisted number.

HELLO?!

Huh? What does *67 do?

Effectively blocks caller ID.

My sister in law does this sometimes. But then, she's 14.

there's a way to undo *67 when the call comes in ;)

do tell

Yes please tell us.

You have to ask your phone company to restrict all calls with the Caller ID feature blocked. When they try dialing your number, they'll get a message saying that have to press some keys to unblock the block on Caller ID.

Okay maybe I explained it wrong. I simply wanted to know if some nights she simply would ignore me when I called (not excessively or repeatedly). My friend grabbed my phone...hit *67, dialed her number, handed me my phone...and said..."here, now see if she picks up"

sure enough she did and then I told her to explain herself and she said that it was because she felt bad for hanging out with her friends instead of me and didn't want to have to deal with me. I told her I didn't really care what she did but I didn't particularly care to be ignored or blown off (in the non-sexual way). I told her I'd talk to her some other time...end of story.

LOL, after going through all this and knowing without a doubt that she ignored you, you still come off as the push-over bitch by saying you will talk to her another time. haha, now she knows you can be taken advantage of and you won't do a thing about it. loser.

LOL Well it was more of a "maybe I'll talk to you some other time or see you around". We weren't really fighting. I'm just not going to call her anymore. Maybe she'll stalk me at my work again.
