Re: Private callers
You can call your telephone provider and block numbers that are private, but otherwise, there is no way of finding out who they are.

Re: Private callers
is it on your home phone number and do you have caller id?
If you have caller id, activate anonymous call rejection.
I have been out of work on maternity for a few months and cannot remember if its *77 to turn it on....
The phone company cannot tell you who called using a private number.

If someone chose to have their phone say private, the phone company cannot tell you. It's a violation of the private caller's rights. If they wanted you to know who it was, they would leave a message or unblock the number.

Re: Private callers
I think you can dial *57 after the calls come in, but if my memory serves me, that's the code to use when you're receiving harassing calls...so, don't qoute me on the *57 idea!

Yes, call trace is for harrassing or threatening calls, you need 3 traces and have to have a police report and be willing to press charges
