Helpful Links in regards to Text Message Harassment
The majority of all abusive, unwanted and threatening text messages are sent anonymously.
We cannot identify for you who sent you the text messages. The users who come on to our site do so anonymously. Just how spammers can send you emails anonymously, so can people who know your phone number can send you text messages.
If you feel this is a criminal matter, please contact your local authorities and your cell phone provider.
To text message someone on our site, they need to know your number and your cellular provider
The individual(s) who are text messaging you through our site know this information and wouldn't have been able to send you a message without it.
Blocking your number from our website does't mean they can't go onto a site similar to ours to send you a text message
There are several other services similar to ours that use the same technology to send text messages. Unfortunately, blocking your number using our form will only block users from sending text messages through our site only. You should contact your cellular
service provider for more information on how you can block text messages from the internet all together.
Text messaging works very similarly to email
Users can sign up for an anonymous email address and send threatening and unwanted emails to people as long as they know the email address to send to. Text messaging works the same way. They sign on to any text messaging site, and as long as they know your
cell phone and service provider, they can send you messages.
We can't help you locate where the text message came from.
Unfortunately we are not knowledgeable in this area to give you any advice. If you feel this is a criminal matter, please contact your local authorities.
