This is because toll-free numbers are billed to the individual or organisation that owns that telephone number. For obvious reasons, it's not possible to withhold your telephone number when dialing the emergency services, but the same is also true for toll-free (1-800 / 0800) numbers.
I discovered that there's actually a way to reveal blocked or unknown numbers - and it's due to the way that toll-free and emergency telephone numbers operate. BUSTED: "There is no way to trace an anonymous caller without involving both the police and telecoms provider" The situation reminded me of one that I'd experienced before, where I was lead to believe there was no possible way to trace an anonymous caller. Through my own research I found this to be untrue, and I want to share what I learned with you. They suspected that they knew the person responsible, and so didn't want to involve the police or telephone company in tracing the calls (which itself would be a long drawn out process involving the courts). I was prompted to write this blog post when a friend contacted me recently to share their experiences - they had been receiving nuisance calls from an unknown caller for some time and wanted some advice on what to do.
