Figuring out a prank caller...

Unless you're on the run from the law, the police can be a good resource when being harassed by some creep.

I will second that google voice is a great tool, and add the you can easily change phone numbers with pay as you go cell-phone plans. Put a new sim in the phone, change the google voice forwarding to the new number, and you're good to go.

Good luck. Years ago one of my past girlfriends had a female stalker trying to ruin her life, and I know how aggravating the calls at all hours can be.

Well i am going to be getting a pay as you go phone after I get my first paycheck from this job, but I really don't want to change my number agian. I'll try and contact someone from the company to see if I can track their number and block it.

Best bet is the police. This is harassment and they can find out the number whether or not they are hiding their number. A charge can then be made or you can drop it, either way you will find out who is doing it.

Yeah, I believe that is the best option in this case. I just didn't want to have to get wrapped up in another thing with the police when it comes to being harassed. Just went through that a few months ago.
