someone keeps calling me?


Question Posted Sunday July 12 2009, 11:37 pm

15/f

i just got a cellphone in march, and ive never had any trouble with prank callers or anything. but within the past few days ive had some new numbers call my cellphone but it was always when i wasnt near it so i didnt get to take the call.
tonight i answered and it sounded like a drunk old man. he kept saying, "hello? can you hear me?" and i just told him i thought he had the wrong number so he hung up. but the other person called when i wasnt near the phone.
i dont know, basically im a little freaked out. i worry so much, but it just scares me when random drunk old men call my cellphone at 11:15 at night.
am i worrying over nothing?

Dont worry about it. People could be dialing the wrong number or someone else may have had your cell phone number previous to you. (They kind of recycle cell phone numbers). Just answer the calls whenever your near your phone and tell them they have the wrong number. If it continues and gets to irritating to handle, call your cell phone provider and tell them random people keep calling you and you would like your number changed.

dont worry about it... this drunk old guy is probably tryin to call someone he thinks has that number every night he gets drunk lol.
also, people can just be messin with you. just try to keep it by you for the next time they call, so you can say they have the wrong number OR you could find out that its one of your friends try to call you.

if they threaten you or anythin, THATS when you have to worry

good luck !

There's no need to worry. Sometimes I get random calls from numbers in my area code, but they're never numbers I recognize and the only one I would recognize is my boyfriend's.

I guess as long as they don't leave a voicemail & you're not there to pick up, it's fine. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Chances are it's just a wrong number & people that probably aren't out to prank you. :)

I think you're worrying too much. It's just a wrong number, most likely. If this caller is, indeed, both old AND drunk, he'll more easily forget his friend's ACTUAL number, and forget that you said it was a wrong number.


Call your cell phone company and ask to have the number(s) blocked. That should take care of the problem =)
