It can be very irritating when receiving a private call but there are ways to find out the number. There is something called Caller ID which can identify the number of the person or company calling.
There are steps you can undertake to find out who is calling if people do decide to withhold their number from you.
- Just pick up the phone and talk straightway
- You can call up a service by dialling *69 which is valid in most states.
- Do try other codes aside from simply dialing *69. If the call comes from your local region then *57 should work.
- Other codes which may work are *71 and *67. On the whole these are universal for most telephone companies.
- If this is not successful then contact your local telephone company in order to obtain the codes specific to the company you use.
There are applications on the market, such as super call blocker and call block, which will give you the chance to block private or withheld numbers.
There are also phone companies who offer services such as call block, call rejection, call trap or call screening and will cost you an extra $3.95 or more every month.
Then, should someone call when you have these things in place, it is more likely you can obtain the person's number accordingly. Check with your phone service provider to find out what is available in your area.
