 Call Trace

Call Trace allows you to mark a harassing or threatening phone call in your Call History.

Call Trace does not initiate any law enforcement or actions against the caller. You must take additional actions to establish a case with your local law enforcement agency.

  1. After hanging up the call, dial the Call Trace star code. Default code is *57.
  2. A new line for the trace will be entered in the Call History. Expand the record to see the CDR from the original call.

Example

In this example, Amy received a phone call at 10:39 and dialed the Call Trace star code immediately after ending the call. There are now two records in the Call History:

When the Call Trace record is expanded, it shows the CDR details from the call it traced:
