[comp.dcom.telecom] Trying to Trace Hang-up Calls

"habersch@husc9.harvard.edu"@husc3.harvard.edu (05/13/91)

Has anyone encountered resistance from the telephone company when
requesting a standby trace to identify repeated nuisance calls?  Any
magic words recommended to help enlist institutional cooperation will
be appreciated!


Thank you.

This is a very expensive process by the phone company, I believe their
reluctance to monitor calls is due to the amount of time devoted into
the porcess.

If you want, you could probably "bug the heck" out of them that they
would eventually do it.


Good luck,

Walter
