Use any of this Samsung Mobile units they have this features

G800, G810, U600, U800, U900

go to setting

then choose call setting

then all calls

turn Auto reject call "on"

go to reject list

tick "unknown"

and the rest of unwanted numbers you can put them under your reject list.

then you will never receive anymore unknown or any unwanted numbers.

you will still receive International calls that store in your phone. this is what I do, if I don't wish to receive any calls from strangers.

Answer the call and say "Police Station!" (in strange voice).

Answer his/her's call with silence from your side also and let the meter keep on ticking he will loose money

But the best option is go to Capital Police and report

IF THIS MIS USE CONTINUES ... JUST LODGE A COMPLAINT AGAINST QTEL .. WITH THAT NUMBER ,, AND THERE IS A SEPERATE CELL IN THE CAPITAL POLICE STATION FOR MOBILE PHONE MISUSE .. SO GO FORWARD ... THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF THE SWEET PERSON WHO IS ACTING AS A ALARM TO UR PHONE ...

Its really frantic if someone irritate us like givin prank calls in this case ........

The best way to handle that in Qatar is :

--> Go to nearby Q-Tel office and talk to some manager about your problem and I am sure that they can handle this problem very easily... Just give ur first try at Q- TEl..

Note : Qatar is a very safe and problem free country ( i can say ) Officials here will surely take this seriously and soon you will get a good result from them... Dont worry

sorry didnt mean to offend you...just go to the police, seems like this person is enjoying messing with you..

my name really suits me, ha? thanks a lot, very friendly of u to give me a hand(it was actually a slap). i tried everything, i tried the threats, i tried the insults, i even put a loud scary scream in the mic. the only solution is to actually go to the police.

By nadt• 19 Jun 2008 01:11
nadt

stress...your name really suits you..have you tried just sending an sms with a threat to go to the police first? Why dont you do that first and see how far you get before you worry about thenNationality of the caller..

By stress_in_babel• 19 Jun 2008 00:58
stress_in_babel

u think that if i go to the police and they find out the crazy caller is a qatari they will do anything?

By nadt• 19 Jun 2008 00:54

Same thing happened to me twice and both times i SMS's the caller saying that if they dont stop, i will call the police and report and forward them number and luckily for me the calls stopped...Some people are just weird...wasting their time...

Answer it and use one of those hand airhorns into the mike. That will give them an earfull. maybe after a few times they will get the message. Know someone who did this and it worked.

I'll speak with you.

Report to Qtel, they can track a number, or even to police.

Or try to return a call;)

1)start a short phone-conv. with him/her.

2)Same time push: "Record voice"

3)Try to get more infos or " indecent proposals" from his/her part.

4) ask about his/her name

5) be sweet and "honey"

Then go to police!

_______________________________________

After that, SHOOT MEEEE!!!!

i have to go to the police station myself or i can just call? u think they will do anything? u ever herd someone before to have this problem? i can see how i can sound stupid with my big problem, starting to feel like desperate housewives, but really it's bothering me. i thought it would stop, i thought he/she will get tired, but no...

By Secguy• 19 Jun 2008 00:02

Then if you know the number lodge a harasment complaint with the police. probably the only way to stop this.

All you could do is go to the nearest police station and report this pesky caller.

Or send an SMS that if the calls won't stop, you will forward the number to the police and file a complaint. And the authorities would know what to do...

Had a few of prank callers myself...and after i reported them to the police, the calls stopped.
