Unfortunately, the privacy advocates have hamstrung the Caller ID feature. There is no legal way to get around the privacy blocks placed on phones.

Please don't ask or expect us to help you break the law. We are not that type of site. We are (for the most part) ethical people. The rules of this site do not allow for promoting or asking about illegal actions.

The only way you can trace a number to your cell phone if you are having problem calls is to contact the police and do things the legal way ! All Cell phones work on what's known as a HRL system which means that only the phone companys can see a with held number and if you contact them and the police they can access these records to find the person !

There is no other way other than the legal way to do this, Scott is totally correct that no one will aid you to break the law in any way.
