Obtaining phone call history from EE?
Discussion
Anyone any experience of what info a phone provider can give of previous incoming calls and texts to a mobile?
A relative has told her parents that she's had some unpleasant phone calls and messages, believed to be from someone she has fallen out with at college, but she has deleted them from her phone.
Are EE likely to provide them a list of phone numbers that have called/texted her over a specified time period, so they can see if they recognise the numbers?

Seems unlikely.
If I wanted to make abusive phone calls to somebody, I'd change my settings so that my number was not displayed to the receiver. I'd be a tad upset if the network then told them what my number was.
If they've stopped - does it matter? And if they haven't stopped - they'll be able to check the numbers next time (assuming it's not hidden)

You have no chance, I used to do it using proper legal authorities and the process wasn’t simple even then and required high level authorities.
In addition network providers would never guarantee the information relating to historical incoming calls because it was activity originating outside of their billing for that customer.

I haven't had anything to do with this for around 20 years, it was landline related rather than mobile, and related to a Government entity receiving malicious calls but...
We informed the police, they told us that we had to inform the network provider, and where possible give them approximate dates and times of the calls, so that they could make sure any records they did have were protected.
We then informed the police that we'd spoken to the network provider and the police then spoke to the network provider to receive the data. The network provider separately asked if we'd like any suspected malicious numbers blocking, but did so without informing us what those numbers were.
It was made quite clear throughout that the network provider wouldn't provide any information directly to us.
