I am being bombarded with texts from an ex, I don't want to have to change my number but can I block his number?

I am with O2 online?

    It depends on your handset, i believe some sonyerikssons and samsungs can block the numbers, but espresso is correct in saying the networks can`t block the numbers directly
  • if it was me i'd top up and get my 300 texts and send "STOP TEXTING ME" 300 times, just for the hell of it!

    i know the SE k750i/w800i has a blacklist patch (so the person calling you will get a busy tone), but im not sure if it works for texts.

    and you have to reflash the phone to get the blacklist patch working
