Cellular Phones/Private caller

Advertisement

Expert: Denny Adams - 6/9/2009


Question
First question:I have received several calls on my home phone with "private" on the caller ID. Can this actually come from a telemarketer ?
Second question: If you call a US cell phone number but the person who you are calling is not in the USA (in Europe) will their caller ID show your number even if you have permanently blocked your number?
Thanks

Answer
alexandra, first question. anything coming in as private could in fact be a telemarketer, or anyone else that has their number blocked.  second question.  if your number is permanently blocked then nobody should be seeing it anywhere. however, there are devices that will unblock your number so they can see it.  seems like people always find a way huh?

I can answer questions regarding the actual phones, contracts, what to look for when purchasing a wireless phone, and the ins and outs of all the carriers. I can easily answer basic questions as well as in depth questions. I can also direct you to the carrier that best suits your needs not theirs.

I want to try and bridge the gap between carriers and customers in regards to the lack of customer service that seems to be dragging the industry down.
