Did you know that phone numbers, whether lane line or cell phone, are not owned by the phone holder, but by the service provider? All phone numbers are simply leased.
This does make it a little harder to trace a number.
So what do you do when you are getting unwanted phone calls and how do you make it stop? By using a service called reverse cell phone lookup.
All cell phone numbers are owner by the provider, and they keep track of every number they have, who it is leased to, and all of the information for that person.
That is how they do billing.
You can find web services that will look up the phone number and tell you which company owns it.
Once you have found this out, you can call the phone company and report the problems you are having with these unwanted phone calls.
It is their responsibility to put an end to the problem.
Using cell phones to solicit, make sales calls, and for telemarketing is illegal, but that doesn't stop these people from doing it.
Unfortunately, at this point, it comes down to you making something happen.
Really all you have to do is report the phone number to the proper phone company and they will put an end to it.
If things need to go further, you can report the activity to the authorities, but that rarely has to happen.
Don't let these illegal activities continue.
You have the power to put an end to it.
Take action and let these people know you will not put up with it.
