dealing with nuisance texts and calls
Offensive Texts and Calls
If you receive a nuisance text, you should keep it as evidence, even if you’d rather just delete it immediately. You should also make a note of the sender’s number, or the originating details at the end of the message (in case you lose the original text).
Similarly with an offensive call or message left in your voicemail, keep the message and any details abailable on your handset call register - like time of call or the caller's number if available.
Remember, all text messages and calls can be traced, even if the number is withheld on your phone.
