Blocking Calls

[Sebbo]

I've had an unfortunate experince of some guy texting me. I rang him back with a withheld number, and once it was foreign guys. (Two) and the other time it was an english guy. i then started getting texts from other numbrs.

I think this is related to a dodgey facebook app as they knew lots about me. But seemed to qoute things from facebook...quite bad really.

I just wanted to know if I can block people with the Magic's hardware.

cheers.

Hi,

There are a couple of suggestions over on the Android Forums - never tried them myself but it'll at least give you some reading material to look into. I'd imagine others on here might have suggestions too.

Call Block Unlimited

Call blocking apps

I'd report it to the police to be honest, if the worst comes to the worst then Vodafone can look at a number change for you if you obtain a crime reference number.

The TPS has also been useful for me but mainly on blocking marketing calls - not sure where your calls might be originating from or if they can be classed as marketing

Hiya, yep the 2 most practical solutions out with number blocking apps are as redpages says

1. Crime reference number and then you can get a FOC number change, or £25 charge without

2. If you get calls which are causing you harasment, then call in to customer services immediately after it, and they can note the details of the number that called you etc, after 2 or 3 attempts they have a nuicance callers department that can assist you with this.

Try and not get too upset, it can be resolved one way or another

Hi JBR,

It sounds like you've got an International bar on your account.

Did you get this lifted before leaving the UK?

You should be able to lift it by logging into your online account.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks.
