    Exclamation How do you......???

    Need a little help here. Roomie is having serious issues with a recent fling; now he's harassing her on her phone - mostly text msgs - and it needs to stop! How do you block a number from calling/texting your phone? I did a search and found some site selling a "caller ID manager" and loads of crap.

    contact the phone provider and they should be able to do a block from that number. i could be wrong...but i think they can do that!

    ^ Yes, it's called Per Line Blocking. Your TelCo is obligated to provide this service if requested.

    Also, maybe her phone itself is able to block numbers. My old cell phone could do it, but not my new one. Somewhere in the Menu there may be an option to block a certain number. You'll just have to look through your menu at all the phone's options, because not all phones have this.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    She should save the txt messages although the phone company should have a record of those as well.
    She should call up the company and ask them to block that number. I will cost her about under $50 bucks if anything at all.
    I had to do this awhile back.

    edit; it was only $25 for them to block their number.

    The CELLULAR companies have this blocking service? I thought it was only landline service?

    I don't think you should have to pay anything at all to ask a phone service to stop harrassment! But whatever...

    I agree with checking her phone menu. I can block a # from mine (Nextel) with the clickity-click of a couple of keys. This, of course, will do nothing to stop someone determined on causing havoc. Are the messages threatening at all, or simply annoying?

    I have a male friend that always sends me pics of his butt and such...really funny, to me at least. Maybe he'd like to get some of them forwarded to him? I think my cell provider has a service you can get that blocks certain numbers you tell it to block. I have verizon.

    I have a similar problem and I have Cingular.They can only block all incoming or all outgoing calls.That's what the Cingular rep. told me.

    The calls aren't threatening, just harassing and fucking with her emotionally. Not to go into too much detail but the guy has shown himself to be a class A piece of shit and is now trying to fill her with self-doubt and regret. As long as he's able to text her, she can't help reading it. Found out she does have Verizon so I'm gonna try to get her to get the blocking service. Seems like a small price to pay for a little piece of mind. He's also a lazy fuck so I don't think he's persistent enough to use someone else's phone to harass her.

    She won't change her number - she's the type who gets attached to such things. She still uses AOL even though she knows it's shit and ruins her computer

    Thanks all for the info!
