Prank calls?

Why do guys prank call girls? Recently ive been getting a few withheld numbers ringing my mobile. Where i end up saying hello five times but this person is just listening to my voice. I think it's a guy that i know? I don't understand why he just wont talk to me on the phone?
Why would anyone want to listen to my voice?
Does anyone know how you can trace witheld numbers?

You can't trace them but you might be able to block them.

Sounds like a creep to me. Perhaps he's been influenced by Hollyoakes.

That seems a bit strange. How often do you get these calls? Is it quite a regular thing? If it continues then you should have something done about it, it is possible to block numbers.

If they have your phone number then it must be someone you know, they must have got your phone number from somewhere so maybe ask around and see if any of your friends have given your number out to anyone? Have you given your own number out recently?

I'm sure there's a way of blocking anonymous calls. If you're still annoyed about this ring your network provider and they should be able to do something.

I usually answer the first time and if no one speaks then I hang up and if they keep calling then I just keep cancelling it. Dont keep answering because whoever it is will just keep doing it.

Maybe he likes you and he wants to talk to you, like to ask you out but get's cold feet at the last moment *shrugs*.

everyone does it from time to time just to make jokes or some think alone those lines
but in this case it seems like the person may like you (said before) or they may be scared to talk to you on the phone.

If it's witheld, don't answer. If you do answer, hang up the instant you realise it's a waste of time.

you're being pursued by an axe murderer. there was a report of this on the news a few days ago. an escaped convict would ring up his victims several times just listening without speaking. then a few weeks later he'd come to their residence and disembowel them and display their body parts on their mantlepiece.

You really are demented, bunny. OP I would say if you have any real cause for concern over these calls (i.e. if he's behaved strangely to you in the past or if you think he might be obsessed with you) then don't hesitate to contact the police, it's better to be safe than sorry, and it might just take a quick chat with someone to sort something out. Alternatively, as you haven't really given us any background on this guy, you could just dismiss it as immaturity, try blocking the number (can probably get your phone provider to do this for you) or just not picking up when you see a withheld number call your phone.

if its hoax or annoyance calls, if its land line, you can get anonymous call barring for like 2.50 each quarter for BT, not sure about others

if its your cell phone, call up your network and they can trace it but cant give it to you, they will pass it onto the police, orange are crap and will get you to wait till they have done it 3 times before getting back to them, vodafone are great and have a record of every single number called and pass it on further immediately.
