Customer Originated Trace identify harassing callers through the phone company.

• How to use
  1. When you get a nuisance call, press and quickly release the receiver button on the phone and listen for a special dial tone. If you have already hung up, just lift the handset again and listen for a normal dial tone.
  2. Dial *57, or 1157 on a rotary or pulse phone.
  3. Listen for a confirmation tone or announcement that the last call has been traced.
  4. Hang up.
  5. The number you traced will be recorded at the phone company. If you decide to follow up on the matter, we will provide that number to the local authorities.
• Notes
  • Customer Originated Trace must be used immediately after you hang up on the call you want to be traced. If you get another call or hear a call waiting tone, you will then trace the wrong call.
  • In some areas, after you dial *57, you will hear an announcement that the call can't be traced. Just follow the instructions to dial an additional code, and the call will be traced.
