LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 How do you know the number of someone who called you? I got a prank call last night and I want to know who it was, they put the bit before their number though so it says that it's an unknown number. I went to 'Call Memory' > 'Answered Calls' then selected that call, but on details it just said 'Unknown Number' and it won't tell me what the number acctually was. I don't have the option to call back either. The call went a bit like this: Me: Hello? PC: Hello. This is 95.8 Capital FM you've won a car! Me: (Deciding to go along with it) A car!? Really!? Wow! PC: You need to pick a number between 1 and 5 Me: ( Hands phone to brother because I can't be asked with this.) Brother: 3! Me: (Takes phone back) PC: Hello? Yeah you've won a spaceship!Me: A spaceship? Well that's even better than a car! PC: Yes and you get a free alien with it. Me: A free alien!? Wow! PC: You have a donkey nose Me: A donkey nose!? I worked hard to get my donkey nose, I had a lot of plastic surgery. PC: So, I hear you have a chicken in your garden? Me: Two chickens, Yes. PC: Where do you keep them? Me: I keep them in the garden but I was thinking that I might move them into my new spaceship. PC: I'm going to eat them. Me: Oh really? PC: Yes, I'm going to have a barbeque. Me: A barbeque? Not really the weather for one. It's raining outside here. PC: I'm a serial killer] Me: You like cornflakes then? (Badoom, Tshhh I know) PC: What? Me: You said you were a cereal killer? PC:You know I'm joking, right? Me: Well nawwwwww Me: ....... PC: Hello? PC: Hello? PC: Are you still there? Me: Yes, I'm still here. I'm listening. PC: What? Me: Shhh listen! PC: What? What is it? Me: It's the sound of your credit being wasted, we're up to 7 minutes now, Bye So anyway, if you could tell me how to get the number then it would be much appreciated Danke LCL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Don't know how you can get the number yourself...but it might be worth reporting it to your service provider as a nuisance call. They will (I expect) be able to trace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Tbh I don't think it was intended to be annoying, not many people know that I keep chickens so it must of been one of my closest friends. I have a pretty good idea of who it was but I wanted to be sure before I get back at them Thanks anyway WitchHazel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Can't help you with the question, but I loved your answers! I'm glad you think it was a friend, and not really a random caller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Dav Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Glad you think its someone you know. I like the fact that whoever it was, you kept the conversation going to use their credit up - nice idea Will try and remember to do that if it happens to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Brilliant. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. I found out who the mystery caller was; the hacker who hacked my msn a while ago. How they managed to get hold of my number I don't know, but I don't hink this is the last I've heard of this moron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwren Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 If you note dates and times of calls your telephone provider can pass this on to the authorities for you if you want to of course. There should be a specialist police officer in every county who deals with the 'Misuse of Telecommunication' such as internet, texts and calls. They are even taking cyber bullying very seriously now.... which is a good thing. I hope they don't bother you again though... failing that keep a whistle next to the phone and if they call again give them an earful!!
