magelaide 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Is there any way to do this - apart from the obvious? I have some dude that I used to be friendly with and he won't leave me alone. I don't want to get a new mobile number. Does anyone know for sure if phone companies can block a number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 36208 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Can't you block it yourself on your mobile? Or just stop answering the phone when he rings? He'll sharp get the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toplass-101 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Just tell him that you believe that staying in contact with an X is like your Mam saying... "The cats dead, but its ok you can keep it" maybe he will get the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 While we're on this subject, is there anyway you can find out who a number belongs to? I've missed a couple of calls on my mobile from a Birmingham 0121 number but don't really want to ring them back just in case it's someone trying to sell me something.

If it's a business it might come up with their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo 23 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) I'm changing the deal I've got. Surprised no one noticed when I made that thread about my new phone...! The deal I've got is total crap...! I was under the impression it was any network, while in fact I am with T-Mobile and can only use my off peak 750 mins with anyone on the same network...! How shit is that! I might as well put it in the bin...! I have got a new deal thou after some discussions on the phone. Not my mobile of course...! So the deal I've now got is any network and from 750 mins down to 500 mins free. From 50 texts free up to 100 texts free. Only thing is I've went from supposedly paying £8 (£16 a month after the 1st 6 months) a month to now £25 a month. Here's the catch. You get a 17 day guarantee, yet you wont know how much spent until the end of the month. By that time your guarantee is up so your no longer a new customer to be entitled to a good deal like 1st time customers are. So much for my deal. So because it wasn't any network my bill was £53! I'm gonna have to stick with this new deal I've just got until the 18 months are up to get a better deal, unless I folk out £200 to pay off my contract to cancel it. ....oh yeah, about the lad hasseling you...tell em' fook off! simple.
