As far as the other info, that may be helpful to someone else reading the thread. I just went and registered my cell phone on the do not call registry.

Oh and the really bad calls that went to my answering machine for my landline came from FAX machines! long recordings of earsplitting (and cat-frazzling) beeeeeeps. I finally did get the phone company to look up and somehow we notified the fax sender that not only was it driving me and the cats bonkers (they were around to hear the "message" being recorded) but the faxes weren't getting to their desired location.. and they stopped.

Ok Cnd I looked back at your original question. You wanted to find a website to do a reverse lookup that you don't have to pay for? Someone from whatever code keeps calling you and you don't answer but you considered having someone in the Sherif's dept look it up for you but you didn't want to go that route. And you don't want to use up your minutes to call back or answer. Yes?

Ok I'm giving my opinion here in that the sherif thing sounds a lil extreme when you could just answer the dang phone. Anyhoo I suggested bigbook.com or google. Or the ticketyboo way is just answer or call back after 9pm when it's free. Or just go ahead and use the 1 minute it would take.

I've used that British expression for years. I believe it actually means 'everything is great or okay'. Oh, the things you can learn from a question about phones.

What cracks me up are the automated dialers that call and say please hold for our next available operator. Are they insane?? Like I'm really going to hold for their telemarketer! LOL

When I get those, I wait until an operator gets on the line and I say, "Please hold for the next available answerer".

LOL - Something tells me if someone kept calling Mocha like that, she would definitely answer the phone! And then there would be no more calls!

Mocha, It's not that Cnd doesn't want to use her minutes. She just doesn't want to answer the phone.

I have a feeling if you called the Sherriff's dept, they'd ask you why you won't just answer the phone and find out who it is. I'm just sayin...

I got one of those calls from Direct TV. I had to laugh but then I just hung up. Calling us to hold for an operator is pretty clever really. Too bad we wouldn't hold for them.

Half is very clever.

Was it a TVCH member?
Was it the IRS?
Was it an attorney trying to notify you of an inheritance?


Was it a telemarketer?

How did you finally track it down? Did one of the sites listed here work?
