>>>Does anybody know any good ways to trace prank phone calls? I got quite a few last night, and don't like some of the stuff that was said to my fiance. We have caller ID, and it said it was a private call. Anybody know any cool tricks I can use?

>>If you want, you can do a *57. This will cause the call to be traced. This is different than the other options - if you do this they WILL prosecute the offender. The only issue you might have is if the bozo making the calls is a phone phreak and knows some work-arounds to avoid the trace...but the odds of that are pretty slim & they'd really have to know what they were doing.

>Is there a list of these *XX numbers that you can dial or is that different for different states/phone companies?

The *XX numbers for the USA are the same from state to state & company to company. Best place to get the list is from the front of your phone book.
