blocked telephone numbers

Reveal5
For more than two years my girlfriend and I suffered with having a stalkers.  Not the kind that follow you around (though with stalkers can you ever really be sure), we would regularly get a lot of phone calls, calls to our work numbers, calls to our cell phones.  The stalker wouldn’t actually say anything, because, like all people with mental issues they were too scared to have any sort of confrontation, their entire purpose was to be an irritant and be disruptive.

The cell phone companies can do nothing, as usual they expect you to pay your bill and not to call them, when asked they said there is nothing that can be done track these blocked calls.  Calling the police gave similar results.  Their solution (which was identical to the cell companies) was to “change your number”.  Why should I have to change my phone number to get someone to leave me alone?  The stalker is the one breaking the law, not me.  At any rate we suffered with this annoyance until my girlfriend found a really cool service called Reveal5 here in Canada.  Their system allows you to see ALL blocked/unlisted numbers and then reverse the number to find out the address, telephone provider, name of the scumbag person who is calling you.

The service really works, we sent all the information provided by Reveal5 to the local authorities who then proceeded to have a discussion with the stalker and since then the calls have stopped.  While I would have preferred to press charges because clearly people who irritate  you (sometimes called 15-20 times a day and do nothing on the line) have mental issues it was easier to just have the police have a chat.

We’ve subscribed to this service.  I cannot express how happy we were that the calls stopped.  The Reveal5 support team have been nothing but fantastic, friendly and understanding as well as willing to work with local police to provide them with the information they needed.

I highly recommend subscribing to Reveal5 if you are suffering from blocked calls calling your lines.
