My phone rang at about quarter to eight. My first thought was, “No one I know would call at this hour.”
I checked the number, and I didn’t recognize it…except for the fact that the same number had called me yesterday.
Around 8:30, the phone rang again. Same number. This time, they left a message.
The message was from an angry man telling me to stop calling him.
I was, um, confused. I called him back, to tell him that I have never called him in my life. This does not placate him at all. He says, “the only way I GOT this number is that it’s been ringing my phone for a week.”
He angrily suggests that I call the phone company (as if it’s MY fault somehow), to which I say “fine” and call Verizon.
Verizon can tell me nothing, but they offer to change my number.
Sigh.
Sounds like a prank call to me.
Was it Harry calling to tell you he slept with Sally?
Google your number. See what happens.
Keep the phone in the cradle when not in use.
It was my cell phone.
See if you phone allows for blocking a number.
For Sprint, the phone dictates what numbers you can or cannot block. I have a Katana and I can’t block numbers because it’s a “simple” phone.
This type of thing happened to me too. Some crazy woman kept calling me every night at 8pm when I got out of work for a week and hung up when she got my voice mail.
I got so tired of it I called her back telling her to stop calling me. She denied even calling me. HELLOOOO how did I get your number? Caller ID shows everything.
Then she proceeded to call me every 10 minutes that night and I hit “ignore” on the phone. Eventually she stopped calling me.
