Well how would you distinguish one unknown caller from another so she can block that specific caller?

I'm not stalking anyone...I'm just trying to get some help to give her. That person calling is driving her nuts and she's babbling to me about it.

There's a "star-number-number" that she can dial to signal the phone-company that the call is harassing. The phone-co and the cops take it from there.

Is there a clicking sound in the background? If so there is a good chance someone accidentally faxed her phone number.

She never mentioned anything about clicking noises but she did say that she can hear some background noises.

She really wants pple to annoy that guy so he don't call her back anymore. Maybe the AT effect will get to him?

uh, maybe when he calls again, she can say "i'm calling the cops" and hang up. hopefully, it will scare him off.
