Nuisance calls encompass any type of unwanted, unsolicited, telephone call . Common types of nuisance calls include prankcall s, telemarketing calls, and silent call s. Obscene phone call s and other threatening calls are criminal acts in most jurisdictions, particularly when hate crime is involved. Unsolicited calls may also be used to initiate telephone fraud s. Fax machine s may also receive junk fax es via unsolicited calls. Caller ID provides some protection against unwanted calls, but can still be turned off by the calling party. Even where end user Caller ID is not available, calls are still logged, both in billing records at the originating telco and via automatic number identification , so the perpetrator s phone number can still be discovered in many cases. However, these do not provide complete protection harassers can use payphones, in some cases, automatic number identification itself can be spoofed or blocked, and mobile telephone abusers can at some cost use throwaway mobile phones or SIMs. Even in these cases, with sufficient law enforcement and telco effort, persistent abusers can often be tracked down by technical means. However recently wiretapping by law enforcement in many jurisdictions especially in the United States has helped circumvent such disguise like methods by the harasser. Call screening is another countermeasure against unsolicited calls. Most telephone companies have a department devoted to handling complaints regarding unsolicited phone calls in criminal cases such as obscene or threatening phone calls, many police departments have dedicated resources devoted to dealing with such cases.

In telecommunication , a call second is a unit used to measure communication s traffic density. Note 1 A telephone callcall second is equivalent to 1 call with a duration of 1 second. Note 2 One User telecommunications user making two 75 second calls is equivalent to two users each making one 75 second call. Each case produces 150 call seconds of traffic. Note 3 The acronym CCS Centum Call Seconds is often used to describe 100 call seconds. Note 4 3600 call seconds 36 CCS 1 call hour. Note 5 3600 call seconds per hour 36 CCS per hour 1 call hour per hour 1 erlang unit erlang 1 traffic unit. In a communication network, a trunk link can carry numerous concurrent calls by means of multiplexing. Hence a particular number of CCS can be carried in infinitely many ways as calls are established and cleared over time. For example 3600 could be one call for an hour, or 2 possibly concurrent calls for half an hour each. CCS gives a measure of the average number of concurrent calls i.e. Erlangs over a time period of one hour. Hence 1 CCS 100 Call Seconds 1 36 erlangs.
