811265	2009-09-18 02:24:00	Ok i rang telecom.............and they cannot block the number. the lady said its not possible, but they did give me a number to ring of theirs which is a help line to give me advice on possible ideas what to do when it keeps happenning. but on the bright side, he didnt txt yesterday.......... not since i txt him to said leave her alone. i do think he is a absolute dork, and his fine upstanding christian church going family think they are a cut above the rest. i also cant stand the mother...........lol which is unusual for me, as i get along with everyone......... i will be monitoring it over the weekend as the daughter has given me the phone to look after for a few days as she hates using it at the moment. we had discussed getting a new number..... but will hold off on that at the moment. thanks for all ideas, and offers....... will put a sticky note on the wall for future use if i need it:p beetle	beetle (243)

That's a load of crap. Talk to your child's mobile phone company; they might be able to send a warning to the bully or even block that person from their phone network. Telecom customers can call *123 from their mobile to do this. You can also ask to be swapped to a new number. The advertise it, so they have to do it. Remind them of this. www.telecom.co.nz (page 2) If you are with vodafone: vodafonenz.custhelp.com I would suggest calling vodafone and putting up with waiting to talk to a person and getting a reference number. And calling them back if things continue and ask them why they have not acted. Also, I'd personally called the little bastard and talk to him in person, while recording the call (so you have verbal evidence too).	Cato (6936)

I would doubt he would continue if he realises you have the phone and are the only one receiving his texts. I really wouldn't do that. He could say you are harassing him. There is a very likely chance in this that you will be re-victimized by the MSP or the police. Don't act, or at least lodge complaints before you do.	Cato (6936)

Remind them of this. www.telecom.co.nz (page 2) Blocking a user completely from a network isn't the same as stopping 1 number calling 1 other number. Don't reply as you have to show that he keeps on txting even though there's no response. "Also, I'd personally called the little bastard and talk to him in person, while recording the call (so you have verbal evidence too)." - the PDF you linked above advises not approaching the child directly either get school or Police to do it.

811270	2009-09-18 03:22:00	Blocking a user completely from a network isn't the same as stopping 1 number calling 1 other number. But they say "block that person from their phone network" implying they will do it. It's their call what they will do as long as they sort out the problem. "Also, I'd personally called the little bastard and talk to him in person, while recording the call (so you have verbal evidence too)." - the PDF you linked above advises not approaching the child directly either get school or Police to do it. Yeah, but you are going to reply to the person, better to have them hear your voice than a text.	Cato (6936)
811271	2009-09-18 03:49:00	Just get their number blocked from texting your daughters phone. Problem solved.	--Wolf-- (128)

Just do this Step1 Send text saying if you text my daughter one more time I will ring the police do you comprehend? Step2 Follow through with threat if he sends yr daughter another text.	prefect (6291)

Telecom can allocate another number. Or Swap phones with her permanently. Turn up at the church on Sunday and ask the family to control their son. Say this in a loud voice in front of the entire church.	pctek (84)
