Talk to your service provider, they can usually block the number

That was what I was definitely going to do first. I was hoping more for something that would lead to them being arrested though.

Each call originates from a handful of different numbers, but they are all coming from Nevada.

Block one number really wouldn't do anything. They could have hundreds of numbers. I know it would be a pain in the ass but have you thought about changin your number? Solved very easily that way.

Fuck that. Call customer service about it and see what they can do. They might know about it already and can block a bunch of 'em at once.

I got a couple of them on my dorm phone. The person that they were asking for graduated 2 or 3 years ago. ROFL

You might have a case for harrasment because of the series of unwanted calls, but we all know that it'll never get prosecuted....ergo....no jail time for anyone.

I would try contacting the ND Better Business Bureau (701) 271-2855. They can be pretty persuasive when they wanna be and, chances are, they've received calls on these guys already.

Good luck either way.

I'd call and fuck with whomever I got on the other end. It's worked for me in the past. Had my boss almost in tears when I did it too. good times.

I haven't gotten around to calling Alltel yet. I didn't get a call today so I hope they either got caught or they gave up on my number. Next call I get, though, I'm calling in.
