    Got 4 last night from a restricted number starting at 3:08. Finally I answered around 3:30 to make sure it wasn't something legit, nope just some JA, not sure how I didn't just go off on them. Worst part was I couldn't go back to sleep after that. :rant: Ugh...

    Anyone else dealt with this before?

    That sucks!!! I had that problem once man and I contacted the phone company. They can tell where the call is coming from and do some things on their end. Or you can shave your ervice setup to not receive calls from Unknown numbers.

    Reasons like this is why I have my phone on silent when I sleep.

    Not possible when they call from a restricted number.

    Prank calls are annoying.

    I'm just glad the art of the prank call hasn't ended with this generation.

    Worse than prank calls are persistent wrong number callers. Had one once calling at 2:00 AM asking for James. First three times I told the caller "Wrong number" to which they replied "Well, this is the number he gave me." The 4th time I finally said "James didn't want me to say anything, but he is spending the week in Chicago with is girlfriend's family." After some swearing she hung up and I didn't hear from her again. Wonder how James fared.
