Hi everyone

I have a cell phone from bell and the problem is that I get calls at 3:00AM. It just started off a week back and I was just wondering whether I can change the number or so. Every morning there is a missed call and I really have no clue what is happening at the moment. I donot have caller id at the moment. I am wondering whether getting caller id would help to find out who has been trying to contact me at that hour ?

Hope I get some help. Has anyone face calls like this in the night.

You can request Bell to change your number.

Or you can turn your phone off at night - if the person doesn't leave a message, then it is probably no one you know.

It sounds like you have recently got this phone, so it is possible that this number belonged to someone else before and somebody is trying to reach that person.

Maybe the person calling is in another country, which would explain the weird times of the calls.

hey, now dont look at me suspiciously... okay.. lol I am fast asleep by that time!

Getting a caller ID may not help since if a caller does not want you to know their number, they can put *(& a number) and block their number from appearing on the display.

I went on a trip to Disney World this winter. All of a sudden, I started to get calls on my cell from telemarketers at wierd hours of the day, and wierd places in the states.

And on my last day, I was standing in line and a couple of other guys were talking about the same problem. So I interjected and started a conversation. This is what I found out.

There are people with scanners that can pick up your phone number, if you use your phone in analog mode. Telemarketing firms use these people to get phone numbers. There are places where PCS (digital) service is not available. So our phones switch to analog automatically. All of Disney World and the Orlando airport are not hooked up to digital service.

And so I have some trailertrash telemarketer calling me from Idaho asking me if i want to buy a timeshare in Florida. Hahaha!

In the US, it is illegal to make telemarketing calls to cellular phones.
I wonder if you can call your phone company and tell them that you won't be paying for that particular call because it was an unsolicited telemarketing call.
I believe there is an FCC rule about that which you can find on their website.

And the telemarketer cannot use the excuse that they didn't know it was your cell phone - they know !
