This happened to me once and the best thing to do is answer it, then silently put the phone down on the table and go and make yourself a cup of tea.
It's no fun for them if they can't hear you panicking, and it'll just run up their bills. They'll get bored and broke and go and bother someone else.
Good Luck!! xx

 Im afraid you cant find out whos phoning you if it is withheld.
You can take matters further and go to the police & ask them to track it down or you can just go along with it.
I had one not long ago and they said they were going to stab me in the head, but i found out who it was & it was one of my 2 mates mucking around, i was really ennoyed but i got over it.
If they say anythingg personal i say you should go to the police
Take care x

If you do manage to find out who it is, you should immediately report it to the police otherwise the people are likely to keep harassing you or will move to harassing someone else. Sometimes all those people need is a no nonsense approach to their idiocy.

 Walk up to you phone store and ask them to trace the number or go to the police. I've had people call me but they play music

 This has happened to me before, do you know anyone who would pull pranks like this?
You haven't put your phone number online at any time have you?
Next time they call, pick up the phone and ask who is it. If you get no answer, tell them you're calling the police and they WILL find out who it is on the other line and you WILL press charges for harassment.
If they call back again, follow through and call the police. That's the only way you can figure out who's calling and get them to stop.
Tell your parents what's going on. If you choose not to call the police, the least you can do is get your phone number changed.
