Why wont they block his number? Seems silly, if you have requested it.

Is he making any threats? If so, then involve the police.

If he is making threats then perhaps an injunction??

I wouldn't have thought it too difficult for a 'phone company to block a number where malicious calls/texts are involved. I'm also wondering if your email provider could issue a warning if you complained to them showing them examples of both the content and frequency of the mails coming in??

This sounds horrible I'm not sure if they can do anything but I would personally contact the police if he still does not stop by tomorrow. Better to have it acknowledged and at least be on record if he continues with this. And perhaps hearing you have contacted the police will get him to shut up.

just done a quick google for you, as i'm unfamiliar with 02, but according to this link , you can block text messages. http://www.o2online.ie/o2/uploads/pd...It-Service.pdf

The advice given by bugzy seems to be just what you are looking for.

However, if you've got to the stage where you are keeping your phone switched off - seems to me there is no point in having one! It would surely be easier to just change your number.

I change mine every time I go back to the UK (just get a new sim and pop it in) they transfer all my numbers from the existing one and I just send a text out to all those I WANT to have my number. I can't keep the same one every visit because the expire if you don't use them for 30 days or so.

But it's no problem.

Change your phone number, its free if you say you are getting nuisance calls. Change your email and delete the current account. I have done both of these thing. Easy and effective.

You can block individual numbers on mobiles too. Your phone will do that Im sure.

Never answer the calls, never respond to text or email.

Stalking is an offence now, and I think this would be considered that. I would take the phone round to the police station. If you`ve made a complaint they have to give a response so it`s all logged. They may send someone to have a word.
If you feel unsafe talk to Womens Aid or ask to speak to the Domestic Violence unit.
These things can escalate so it is important you do something. Bullies thrive on people trying to ignore them - they see it as weakness.

Thanks all.....as it was a Sunday night, there was nothing I could do....hence turning my phone off. It hadn't been off previously.

Phoned o2 at 8:30 this morning as planned and just had my number changed, so hopefully things will be stress free now.
I was just so upset yesterday, I didn't know what to do
