Question
How do i find out who is calling me when i have no number to trace?
Can At&t trace it or tell me where it coming from?
They do not talk they call and then hang up.
Thank You
Dean
Unfortunately, there is no way to find out who is callign you if the caller blocks their number. Not even AT&T can trace the call. A number that is blocked is not traceable. If you receive a call that you don't recognize or is blocked, don't answer it. Eventually, and hopefully, they will stop calling you. If the caller shows Unknown, that means that there is no caller ID available and that type of call is also not traceable. I am very sorry to hear that you are being harrassed. You should consider doing what I sometimes do, which is when I get a solicitor type of call like this or one where they don't talk, I say "Hello" in a very thick accent and then say "I no speak English". It works like a charm. I hope this helps. Thanks. Debin
