I keep getting phone calls at all hours of the night from a restricted number on my cell phone. It is bugging me, and I don't know what a "restricted" number is.

Restricted means the same thing as private when it comes to phone calls.
Words used to describe these types of calls are usually.
1) Private Call
2)Unknown Number
3)Blocked Number
4)Restricted Number or Call.

unavailable is usually a pay phone or a company who is not listed. Restriced is when someone has restricted there # from you or have unlisted their number. weird that the call hangs up when you answer it. Could be your crazy ex calling from a pay phone?? Call the operator and ask them to trace the call as this person is harrassing you i think it'll cost you a couple of dollars or so but it will be worth it to find out who keeps bugging you! Good Luck!
