How can I make an 800 number stop calling?!?!?

866-850-1750 KEEPS calling all day. I am pregnant and sick and really really tiered of the phone ringing. I tried to answer, but there%26#39;s no one there. They call like 5 or 6 times a day for the last week. I don%26#39;t want to take the phone off the hook because my husband will freak out if he can%26#39;t get a hold of me knowing that I%26#39;m pregnant and sick. I tried adding the call block option to my phone plan, but appearently you can%26#39;t block 800 or 866 numbers. What can I do?

I work for the phone company, but unfortunately I can get you access to what 866 that number is, but I know where you should be able to find out who it belongs too :) On Monday call 1-800-555-1212, that is the 800 directory assistance group, when you get the automated system asking what the name of the company you want an 800 number for, just reply OPERATOR, it will get you to a live person. Ask them if they can do a reverse look up for that number. Then you can know who it is calling. Also I have said this many times on here in regards to the donotcall registry. Registering is not enough, to make this govt service work, when you get a solicitor calling you, get all the info you can on them, number, company, time %26 date, what they are selling. Then you need to go to the donotcall website and click the button for File a Complaint, and fill in all the info you have on the company that called you. That%26#39;s why so many people keep getting calls from the same places, they aren%26#39;t filing a complaint, and so the govt. doesn%26#39; t know these companies are breaking the law, so they can%26#39;t enforce the HUGE fines they do, if no one tells them it%26#39;s happening. Please let any one you know about filing a complaint to help stop this companies from breaking the law and bothering us :) The best thing to do is to mess them when they call you, u no, have fun with them who are they? If they are a telemarketer..tell them to put you on thier do not call list of youll sue add your name to the national do not call list, it would be illegal for them to continue calling you. You also should call them back tell them not to call. I called and it sounds like a place for student loans, maybe its a collection agency trying to reach you payment. If thats the case they can continue calling even with your name and number on the do not call list. Get on the no call list immediately. Also, call your phone carrier and can block the calls and tell you who to contact to file a complaint.



Hope you feel better soon!
