When you
receive a harassing call, you can dial a simple
code to trace the source of that call from KPU
Telecommunications.
How
to use:
1
When
you get a nuisance call, press and quickly release
the “switchhook.” Listen for a special
dial tone.
2
If you’ve
already hung up, just lift the handset again
and listen for a normal dial tone.
3
Press *57. (On a rotary
phone, dial 1157.).
4
Listen
for a confirmation announcement that the last
call has been traced.
5
Hang
up.
6
The number
you traced will be recorded at the phone company.
If you decide to follow up on the matter, we’ll
provide that number to the local authorities.
Note:
* The “switchhook” is the button the
handset pushes down when you hang up the phone.
Some telephones have a Link or Flash key you
can press instead.
* Customer Originated Trace must be used before
you make or receive another call. If you get
another call, or hear a Call Waiting tone first,
you will trace the wrong call.
