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?

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

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. :) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
LM answered Monday July 13 2009, 1:14 am: 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 =)
