Cell Phone Harassment

Sign in to disble this ad
The Ex of the girl I am seeing and another one of his friends are constantly harassing her via text. Is there anything she can do about this (like blocking numbers)? She has Verizon and I know nothing about how they work.

Get your girls phone company to block them.

Maybe try contacting your service provider, now that I think about it none of my cell phones had a block feature. The other options is post their numbers to us and let it spread till they just get a new one and forget yours XD.

I'm normally not one to sue or run crying to the police, but this sounds like harassment. She should consider getting a restraining order, or some other form of legal intervention. Normal adults don't do things like this, and it takes a pretty disturbed friend to join in as well.

Using the wonders of the internet and $20, just about any halfwit stalker can find out where you live, work, etc.

you should be able to block the number on the phone...I suppose it would work with the texting too, IDK..but you can block phone numbers on my phone..never tried the text. could give it a test by blocking a number of one of your other phones, and then texting her and seeing if it works.
The other thing is I would go to the carrier company and report her. Harassment is harassment and shouldn't be tolerated no matter what.

To the OP: Im sorry but I heard meatwads voice when I was reading your post...I kinda laughed. Sorry.
This is a serious situation man. My first thought as always is to retaliate...not always the best idea. I vote contact the phone company. Then if it gets worst...get the police involved. I would also document the text messages(somehow), and anything that the phone company does(ask for a letter I guess). That way if she ends up in court she will have real proof that this BS was going on.
Good luck to you two. I hope it doesn't go farther than texts.

Just ignore the texts and delete them and eventually they'll tire themselves out. That or go for the 4chan idea. In fact, screw my first idea, go with number 2. If you don't want to do it, send me the number via PM and I'll do it for you.

Don't worry Bob: we're from the internet.
