has been traced. This announcement will indicate
whether the trace was successful or unsuccessful.

Notes:
The number you traced will be recorded at the law enforcement
agency. If you decide to follow up on the
matter, you will need to work directly with your
local law enforcement agency.
Call
Trace must be used immediately after you hang
up on the call you want traced. If you
get another call or hear a Call Waiting tone
first, you will trace the wrong call. Call
Trace can only trace the very last call coming
into your line.
The
traced number will only be available to your local
law enforcement agency. Under no circumstances
will you directly be given the traced number. Connections,
