Blocking mobile numbers

Blocking mobile numbers

Can you block numbers from ringing/txting your phone? If so, how do i do this?

I'm not sure if you can. I had to change my number.

Ah, i hope you can, i don't want to have to change my number. There's this stupid scam thing keep sending me pointless txts practically every other day and it costs me something like 2 quid for each one they send..i dont know how the hell they got my number because i can't remember signing up for anything

if its a scam like that and not just a "mate" annoying you then ring the network and report it. they HAVE to block the number. if they wont tell them u are going to report it to OFTEL.........

(or - if u have a samsung d500) u can block numbers so they cant txt/ring u

How do i get hold of the number though?

the network will know the originating sender. if they say they dont, they are telling lies.

tell them times/dates the texts were send - they should have it ALL logged.

no, i mean the network number

Off there website beep?

what network are you on and which company is it whos abusing your number?

sorry but thats just a lazy question

Lazy is my middle name

sorted it now

Watch out most people have fuck loads of SIM cards these days

Can you remember the name of that site which was sending you the texts? I think I might sign a few people up.

yeah no problem.

dot mention it.

anytime!

Can you not send the number a text sayin gSTOP, that usually works for me although it still costs you to send the message the scamming gits :evil:

Yea that's what they told me to do, but if they still send them after 24 hours i have to call this other number...

i signed up to sms.ac 3 years ago and never had a problem with it, but earlier this year it started sending messages every other day saying so and so wants to be your friend.. etc etc.. saying if you repliedit would cost you 25p.. it never mentioned the messages i was receiving were costing me too - it got walloped on my bill and i never asked for it in the first place.

i only signed up to it years ago as it was a way of sending free messages.. couldn't get the money back either.

asked about this at work today. if you ring your network, then they can tell you what number you need to ring/text to stop this partucular company contacting you.

but if you text STOPALL to 88888, apparently it will cancel all charging tet people from ever texting you again...apparently costs 25p and will work...or so says my team leader at orange.

is that just on orange or all?
