I’m getting phone calls from numbers that shows up private, and unavailable on my cell phone caller ID. I’ve called my phone company and they say there’s no way to find out the number that these people are calling from. Why is that?
Phone companies consider the information that passes over the lines proprietary information. Otherwise, they are not going to offer it up willingly. However, there are procedure to get the information. This invovles filing harrasment reports with a proper law enforcement agency. When it becomes a criminal case they have to be more willing to provide the information. However, you still need to go through the proper channels and with the proper documentation.
