For obvious reasons, it's not possible to withhold your telephone number when dialing the emergency services, but the same is also true for toll-free (1-800 / 0800) numbers. I discovered that there's actually a way to reveal blocked or unknown numbers - and it's due to the way that toll-free and emergency telephone numbers operate. BUSTED: "There is no way to trace an anonymous caller without involving both the police and telecoms provider" The situation reminded me of one that I'd experienced before, where I was lead to believe there was no possible way to trace an anonymous caller. Through my own research I found this to be untrue, and I want to share what I learned with you. They suspected that they knew the person responsible, and so didn't want to involve the police or telephone company in tracing the calls (which itself would be a long drawn out process involving the courts). I was prompted to write this blog post when a friend contacted me recently to share their experiences - they had been receiving nuisance calls from an unknown caller for some time and wanted some advice on what to do.
