How to trace a phone number? - Yahoo! Answers
A: *57 locks the info on the last call received if available on your system only the cops can read the info
A: If pressing *57 does something on your phone, I'm sure it is perfectly legal. If it was only for law enforcement, then only the phones used by law enforcement would be able to do *57 (whatever that is).
A: It is legal to use the *57 feature. When you are pranked, immediately hang up, pick up and dial *57. The information is stored by the telecommunications provider and is accessible only by law enforcement personnel. After you dial *57, call the police and give them detailed information about the call, including your telephone service provider and that you have used the call trace feature. I hope this helps!
