Prank calls are one of the most annoying things in the entire world.  If you have received one or two, you probably shook your head and wished that the caller would get a life and stop aggravating people.  However, if you have received many, you probably started to get nervous.  You may have wondered if this was really a prank caller or if it was someone that meant you harm.  If the prank caller threatened you in some way, you probably definitely wondered if the caller meant you harm.  It is not a light situation if you are afraid for your family or your children and your safety.  This happens to many different people that have had to deal with this.

The trouble is that the police can't do much of anything unless there is a real threatening event that happens outside of the phone calls.  This is enough to make you angry on top of feeling threatened.  It's frustrating to know the phone number of the person but not the name.  However, you can take action yourself and make the calls stop happening.  Whether it's an unlisted home phone number or a cell phone number, it is possible to find out the identity of the caller without having the police trace the telephone calls.
