Need to block a mobile number

Hi all,
I have a Nokia N96 phone, and the problem is is that an ex of mine is keep sending me texs and phone calls, this is obviously driving me and my new partner mad, although i have repeatedly told him to leave us well alone.

Does anyone know how to block his phone number coming through on my phone, or if at all possible.?

I know the obvious choice would be to change my number but it is a business line for me, and would be more hassle on my behalf.

Thanks for all help

    Don't believe there is a way of doing it on the phone, have you tried asking your provider? If it gets really bad I wonder if it would be worth getting the police to have a word, personally that would be a very last resort for me and I imagine could make things worse...
  • Thanks, b33r,
    hopefully police be the last resort to! provider had said that they wud have to of been on the same network!! but was hoping there was another way round it

    It may actually be possible with a piece of software, something like this is available for symbian phones (which the N96 is). Can create black lists using it and also stop calls from numbers you don't have (which would stop them just putting 141 infront of your number to get round any blocking)

    you can probably do it within the phone itself

    i'm sure Nokia's allow profiles, and within the profile there will be an accept calls from... bit, so you can add everyone in your address book, apart from your ex, and then when he tries calling, it will automagically dump his call into voicemail..

    there might be even the opposite, and bar calls from, but i don't have a nokia phone to hand to have a look at the settings

    I'm sure only Samsungs allow this feature so if yours is one then try that. Networks can't do it I'm afraid.
    Well, o2 can't anyway


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.
  • Which model call phone are you using? If you are a Windows Mobile user, then it will become an easy job. The software ---- Pocket Call Blocker can help you to block unwanted calls and sms. Then you won't be disturbed by the person.
    Maybe you can search the internet using the keywords: "pocket call blocker"

    Hope help~
