Im on 02 PAYG, and an ex is ramming my phone with calls, texts and voice messages. Is there any way i can stop it, short of changing my number.

Ive looked on 02 website hopiung there was a section about harassingcalls but i cant see one.

My phone is a nokia 5310 xprssmusic and it dosent have the option to block certain numbers
 
call 02 up and ask them is the obvious answer. or the police i guess, but i dont know what they would really do.

I have a blacklist app on my iphone, dead handy that. if i dont want somebody calling or texting me, add them to the list. dont hear a peep again.
 
It's the norm that you should have personal service provided by your operator to blacklist numbers you don't want.

Phone them - get ask them to block it, if not threaten them that you can't be on an operator that doesn't allow you todo that.
 
Put her number up here and we'll all ring her and text her once each......

Then text her "How'd you like them apples?"

Oh no it's not. I know I'm involved with operators around the world - I'm product manager for just such an application ;) :D

Great! then you'll understand that this product doesn't have 100% market uptake and isn't available on a per user basis at this stage on any network i've had dealings with personally or on a professional basis in the UK. The feature existed on the Nokia switches I used to work with but not on the DMS switches, sure if we paid enough it'd have been supported but it just wasn't worth it at that stage.

Your options are basically to change your number at this stage unless she's made very specific threats to your personal safety as other than that the police are very unlikley to want to get involved. The danger is someone will end up passing it on again. If any form of netwok number block was put in place any muppet can use a call box/payg sim/change the number so it's a moot point, that's why it's never been rolled on a per user basis.

Get a Sony Ericsson 'P' series phone and they have the option to only allow calls from contacts, giving you the option to either drop via a busy tone or just drop the call.
 
keep answering the phone and put it on a table and walk off.

it'll cost her a fortune and she'll give up.

either that or if its not a work phone or anything record a voicemail of you laughing your ass off and keep rejecting the calls to voicemail?

I believe you will have to report it to the police to get anything done about it, just change your number.

I've found the people I tell of a number change are the ones I care about, the ones who i don't and come looking for me are the ones that care about me and the ones I lose in the transition that i never need and don't look for me are just natural wastage and shouldn't have been there in the first place.
 
in fact you could get a new number and keep the sim and just check it every now and then or get a new sim and divert all the calls from your current one to the new one, ignore all her calls and just tell everyone who calls you in the first month or whatever your new number and then switch?
 
Post her number here, she'll soon see the error in her ways. Either that or print out some fake call girl leaflets with her number on and paper the town.

Or you could just turn your phone off for a bit and wait for her to get bored.
 
I had a similar problem some years ago, and the only way the operator would help is if I had a crime number from the police, but then that said I am going back about 6 years.
