Unwanted contact from ex?

Blocking apps don't solve the problem as the person won't know unless you tell them.
What I've done in the past is -
(+44 followed by their number.............this number is no longer recognised on this phone)
Do it for whatever numbers they call from.
You can set up an automated text/call reply from various apps on Googleplay to the unwanted numbers.0 -
Although I've used the automated replies in the past with some people I have found it best to stay friends with others as it avoids all the unpleasant dramas but I've done it on my terms.0

It sounds like you haven't heard anything except one text from him in the last 2 weeks - to me that's not harrassment or police-report worthy.piddlepuddle wrote: »Broke up with an ex a few minths ago. Was getting texts everyday and silent calls to my home and work too- at least one on each a day. Then came the suicide guilt trip when zi didnt reply.
I called the police, more out of concern than anything who gave him a verbal warning. This was 2 weeks ago. Not heard a peep since.
Woke up this morning to a text. Number is blocked so hes texted me off another number
Should i call the police?
Ignore completely, but keep the text just in case your ex starts getting in touch more and it becomes harrassment.Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?
