No need to be a smartass when someone's actually trying to help you out.

You don't have that option in Iceland? Going to the police?

If you can see the number look it up on the internet. You might be available to find the source.

And I bite back. ;;) But seriously, your phone company might have regulations about that sort of thing.

I doubt it, though... it is the Ryanair of phone companies. Thanks for the replies, though...

I Google it if I can. Sometimes it helps and it becomes clear that it's obviously a sales call, sometimes it doesn't. I've been getting some calls lately from very random area codes :-\

If not, I do what my husband has started doing.....label the number if it's the same so you know when they call. He has some girl who calls him repeatedly from his hometown--no idea who she is, but she seems to think his number belongs to someone else and can't take a hint when he tells her "so and so isn't here". So he labeled it "Wrong Number" and just ignores it :p

My parents get that a lot on their home phone. It'll look like "GALVESTONTX" or something :-\
