dont exactly know where this should go...phone question

i keep getting restricted numbers calling my cell phone and trying to do prank calls. is there any way other than *69 to figure out who it is? and also is there anyway to make it that people *67'ing cant call me. gah this is making me angry.

it doesnt show up their number on my phone bill either, it just shows it as incoming calls, thanks for the help

i have verizon with a lg tm-510 phone if that helps any

*edit 1000th POST!!!!

If it is becoming a serious problem I believe you can call verizon and they can find out what number it is.

It sure helps to ward off many telemarketers as well.

its a cell phone so i dont think it will work on that, if i get any more calls today im just going to call verizon today and find out who the hell it is, isnt there a way they can block a phone number from calling my phone?

Just wanted to add. . . I have that same phone on verizon (cancelling it this month switched to tmobile for a bluetooth phone ) Anyhow I was getting a lot of those restricted calls myself about a month ago. I think they were telemarketers. . . 'cause it just stopped all of a sudden at exactly the begining of this month.

it actually happened to my ex-gf couple years ago. we called at&t and they gave us 30 additional mins free each month. the problem wasn't solved but at least we got some free mins just to cancel that out....
