Mobile phone query

Post by Mooncat »

The Lady M's younger sister is a born troublemaker and stirrer, and sends upsetting texts to her, I then have to listen to the woes. Can I block only selected incoming calls and texts to a mobile phone?
I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.

Change the number and only tell the ones you want to know, the number.

tell the service provider about the harrassing nature of the sender and they may be able to block her at network level

Would they then get the police involved, just a thought.

Not really criminal activity, but more accusatory. She doesn't accept that Lady M is frequently ill, and we are pensioners not able to afford several nights in hotels so she can see her mother for half an hour at a time. Her mother is in a good residential home and there is plenty of company for her. I get nothing from the visits, but I have to go along to do the fetching and carrying, do the phoning and the communicating with others, as well as seeing to her medication.
I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.
