unknown caller???

Is there any way to dial *(some number) to find out who is calling? Free?

What's differ. btw "unknown caller or private caller"?

its a real pain, even dialing *69 will not work...unknown caller...could be anybody, from anywhere! but private caller...has been done intentionally!! nope sorry, no way to tell, that's why they invented caller id block, so you wouldn't be able to tell.

if they are harassing calls, however, you can get the police involved to trace the calls. that's probably the only way. the only one I know of is *69, but I don't think that it is free. i think *69 to see the number and *67 if they are harrasing you it traces and automatically goes to the operator Well, if you don't like getting private numbers you can try *87 and that makes it so no one can call u with a blocked number. If that isn't the right * number check with your telephone company you may have a different one. But I don't think you can find out who was calling for free. Sometimes "unknown caller" is someone with a different area code or someone not getting too good of service. They aren't intentionally blocking their call. A private caller INTENTIONALLY blocks their call. You can look on your phone bill and sometimes the unknown callers number will be on there. But for private callers you are out of louck! Just don't answer the phone! Good Luck! that should be in your local phone book, and it does costs, but it be better to have a caller id.
