    and the person doing it is with-holding their number.


    How can i block them or trace who is doing it?


    Reported it to my mobilie provider and they say without a number they cannot do anything to block it and i don't feel i should change my mobile number.


    Any advice?

    Is it a jealous ex or a mucky woman from town who thought it was meant to be after 8 pints?

    I think you can block calls from all withheld numbers but obviously you wouldn't just be blocking this caller. What is the person doing who calls?

    **** knows how this person got my number but he is a sicko.
    I calmy explained to him i have a very ill mother and any call to my mobile could be related to her health.
    Needless to say his content has gone beyond vile and vulgar now.

    It may sound extreme but report it to the police? I'm sure they can trace it, withheld or not.

    I was getting abusive text messages and voicemails a while ago, some random individual decided they wanted to kill me(or someone else).

    As soon as I answered the phone and they heard my accent they were very apologetic and begged me not to report them to the police, bless.

    Any call made to my mobile could be related to my mothers ill health so i really do need to answer.Even some emegency services dont not always show up as a recognised number.

    I would call the police and see if they can help, I'm pretty sure they can especially as the calls sound malicious.

    Had a friend experience similar they went to the police and the police sorted it out I believe the guy that was doing it got in a fair amount of trouble, actually.
