Call Tracing

I have landline phone service with Xfinity.

Yesterday I received a crank call from an anonymous phone number, so I did a "call trace" to it, *57.

Right afterwards I received a message that said the call trace was was successful.

So I would like to know if I can get the phone number that called me.

If the call trace was successful, then you should have the phone number somewhere in your data base

I called customer service, but the people I spoke with didn't know how to get me the phone number

So can you please get the phone number for me?  And please speak to someone who knows how to do it.

user_g4o347 Unfortunately, we have no resources to be able to pull an anonymous phone number and tell you what number it came from. We also do not log your incoming or outgoing calls, as we view that as a privacy issue. We leave the call log as something accessible on the customer-facing side, but we would not have any additional insight to offer.

Wikipedia and several phone service provider sites say this about *57 Call Trace:

... when dialed immediately after a malicious call, records metadata for police follow-up. Generally, law enforcement will only act on the trace once a formal police report has been filed in regard to the call. ...

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malicious_caller_identification
