tracing threatening phone calls

| We've received anonymous threatening phone calls 2 months ago. After the
first one, I dialed the "call back" the number and the recording stated it
was not a working number.
The police just got records from Verizon saying that the number was not
assigned at the time of calls. Police also have a report filed 3 yrs ago
of complaint about calls from same cell ph#. At that time, they were also
told the number was not assigned. Verizon rep. told detective she has no
idea how this could happen. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Verizon inside job? Company employee with access to equipment?

| You'd think the police could have helped. But others have posted that you
can falsify a caller-id (although I can't). If V can trace your notes in
this notes file AND get your name/address/phone; I would think they have the
technology to find the person who is bothering you. Good Luck.

Maybe they have a deactivated cell phone and are making calls on it via
credit card roaming (cellular express)? Not sure how those calls work,
but it MIGHT be that the caller id will come back as whatever phone
number the cell phone reports as having, even if the number isn't really
valid (I know this is often the case for 911 cell calls on deactivated
phones).
Only thing is, credit card roaming calls arent' cheap. We're talking
around $1.00 per minute, sometimes more. If they're doing it a lot,
they'd have to be really motivated to spend so much money on this.

a credit card.
