Phone Annoyance, what can I do?

In the past month or so I have been receiving between 10-20 calls a day from a person living a county away from me. They won't say anything, but when I hang up they call back. Naturally after the first couple of times this happened I called them back and asked them not to call me anymore. They've ignored my request. I contacted my phone company, but they won't block a number from calling me unless I pay them fifty extra dollars a month. What are my options here?
I'm not sure what country you're in, but most US phone companies will add a 'call block' feature to your phone for only a couple of dollars a month. You can customize it yourself and block any number you want. If it's an 'anonymous' number, get Caller I.D. with Anonymous Number Reject and it'll block it automatically.
you will need caller id for this - if you do not have a answering machine get a cheap one. leave a message on it. when you see them call let it go to machine and the longer the message the more they will have to pay on their bill. After they get their bill - they will stop.
Best option I can give you is to get your number changed. I had a problem with someone calling me and the phone company said that it was free to get the number changed once because of this reason. Check with them and that is all the advice I can give.
Just ignore the calls. They'll eventually stop.

If you know the number and name of the person, you can start with law enforcement. That way, if the offender continues, you can proceed with action. But BellSouth charges $4.00 to $5.00 so the rates seem really high from your phone company. If this person is really persistent, they might just go to a different phone to harass you since you have to block specific numbers. Law enforcement can get them for calling you from any number if you can prove it was that person who continued to call.
Call your phone company and tell them you are recieving harrassing phone calls. They will tell you that you will have to file charges against the caller. It will then go through law enforcement.
