you need to call you provider and explain you are getting harrased by an unknown person/persons, they should then either block the number or change your number for you.
The first thing you can do is to make sure your cell phone number is unlisted. This is a simple step but it's the first step in keeping unwanted calls from your cell phone.
You can unmask the Caller ID on blocked incoming calls, obtain the phone number, and in some cases the name and address, of the "anonymous caller" by using a service called "TrapCall." You can also listen to your voicemail over the internet. TrapCall allows you to unmask numbers, record your calls, voicemail transcriptions, block unwanted callers, and gives you caller id for your cell phone. See resource link.
Register your number with the "National and State Do Not Call Lists." The National Do Not Call list is run by the Federal Trade Commission and you can sign up online at the resource link below.
Even after signing up for the "Don't Call List" and getting that unpublished number there are still those times when the telemarketer finds a way to get through. You can also get unwanted calls from ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends'. These people have your number from your previous relationship. You don't want to change your number, but a few over-zealous ex-mates may not go down without a fight and will continue to call after you have told them to stop! In this case, you'll need a call blocking device. These devices allow you to control who calls you, and gives you the ability to permanently block their numbers. See the resource link at bottom of article for a list of these devices.
Set up an account with "Reverse Phone Detective" service in order to find out the Unknown numbers that appear on your caller display. This will allow you to see who and where the number is coming from. Check the resource link "Reverse Phone Detective" below.
Don't rely on your cell phone provider to block unwanted calls for you. For some inexplicable reason, most carriers do not provide you with the ability to block unwanted callers.
My best bet is to go with the google voice number(you can do a lot of things besides blocking unwanted numbers and its free) ..
here is the link to find more information about it
1 Call you cell phone service provider and tell them that you want to block text messages from a certain number. Your provider will stop all texts coming from that number
2
Reply to an unwanted text from a company or organization with "unsubscribe." If you're getting SPAM texts, this should make it stop.
3
Check out the website of your cell phone provider and look for the option of logging into your account. Most companies allow users to set up preferences in regards to their text messaging, including blocking certain numbers.
4
Change the text message settings on your cell phone. Depending on the model you have, you may be able to block certain numbers just by changing your settings
the blackberry curve 8520 doesnt have any pre installed software or application that will block a certain number from calling/texting us.
Sprint cannot stop this because that number/user initiates the text message and they cannot get that one particular sender to be block on their server so you will not get any messages from that number.
2 Possible solution
1. you can buy the black/list software for curve 8520 that will allow you to block that number to call/text you.
To block calls on your Curve: 1)In the phone, press the Menu key 2)Click Options 3)Click Call Barring 4)Highlight the call blocking option you want 5)Press the Menu key 6)Click Enable 7)Type your call blocking password. To stop blocking calls, highlight a call blocking option, click the Menu key and select Disable. Please note that call blocking is not associated with your device, but instead with your carrier and your SIM. You will need to contact your service provider to purchase/enable call blocking – they will provide you with a password for the set-up listed above (which, by the way, I lifted directly from my Curve – must give credit where it is due!). Hope this helps!
You could try calling your provider and ask them if they could do it or another way is to save the number into your contacts and assign a silent ringtone to it, the only drawback is that it will ring (silently) then eventually go to voicemail. It will also not stop them texting you.
The only real way, which is not always practical, is to change your number!
go into call settings then common settings then call reject. I have given my unwanted number a group name and then blocked that group! Hope it works.There is also a service security thing in messaging which lets you set up trusted and untrusted lists. I am trying this also.
