    Could anyone here please help.I'm getting phone call's from a private number and was wondering how to find out who it is or to block private numbers on my phone (nokia 5310 xpress music,02)
    I rang 02 and they said the only way of tracking the number is to go to the Garda.Personally I would'nt bother the Garda with such an issue.

    Please Help ! :confused:

    Install blackballer and they will go away.

    - You can't find out the number of a private number that's calling you (you don't want to go down the Gardai route).
    - Your only way to block them is with some third party software as Bond-007 suggests, I've not tried the one he's suggesting though.

    It costs around €15 but you do get a free 14 trial.

    What happens when you answer it?

    Nothing.They don't say anything.I think it maybe a land line
    cause I can hear it clicking or banging when they end the call.

    Well I'd say your options are;
    1.) go to the Gardai who can find out who the caller is from your mobile company. Not sure if that requires a court order.
    2.) Install that blackballer app above. Haven't used it myself though.

    Don't think blackballer supports my Nokia 5310 Xpress

    It works on any symbian phones.
