Hello
I have just received an abusive call. The number displayed was on the Orange network. Is there anyway I can obtain the owners detailsfrom the number displayed and/or report the caller for making an abusive call.:eek:

    Data protection act prevents you from getting details from Orange.

    You would have to report it to the Police.

    Report it to your network, some will block the number, some with be no help whatsoever, if the latter report it to the police.

    it might not be an orange no. though, it might be an old orange no. ported to another network still...get intouch with your network see if they can block it, but if its real bad and abusive report it to police

    Just pass the number on to all those direct marketing companies that use auto diallers to call you at different times of day. There were a few posted on here recently. It's about time the became of some use to the rest of us :)

    you just dial a random number and then start shouting at someone, maybe start lightly with a few "You smell of wee" before graduating onto hard stuff.
