Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / October 2006Finding user of a number
I'm getting daft texts from someone who says they know me but won't pick up the phone when I ring and won't reply to my SMS. Is there anyway I can find who it is by other means - it's from an Orange number? > I'm getting daft texts from someone who says they know me but won't pick > up the phone when I ring and won't reply to my SMS.

Is there not an Orange department that deals with this? I reckon it's a mate of a mate who's messing about. >I'm getting daft texts from someone who says they know me but won't pick up >the phone when I ring and won't reply to my SMS. Is there anyway I can find >who it is by other means - it's from an Orange number? I'm guessing you know it's Orange by the fact that you're getting an Orange voicemail message when they're not answering the phone...and not by the fact it begins with 07973 or whatever, because it could be a ported number!

Yep - the plonker won't pick up the phone - goes through to the answer phone. It wouldn't be an Orange employee messing about would it? >>> I'm getting daft texts from someone who says they know me but won't pick >>> up [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Yep - the plonker won't pick up the phone - goes through to the answer > phone. It wouldn't be an Orange employee messing about would it? What you are looking for is the reverse directory. Unfortunately, its not available to the general public and even the authorities need a warrant. What you are getting is not funny, its a nuisance call. If whoever it is keeps it up, you should report it. It would serve the prat right.

I've sent an SMS back telling them to say who they are and if they don't it'll be reported. >>>>> I'm getting daft texts from someone who says they know me but won't >>>>> pick up [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Cheers.

Is there anyway I can find > who it is by other means - it's from an Orange number? Call from a different number, possibly witholding it ? >> I'm getting daft texts from someone who says they know me but won't pick >> up [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Call from a different number, possibly witholding it ? Cheers, tried the 141, they don't pick up. > I'm getting daft texts from someone who says they know me but won't pick > up the phone when I ring and won't reply to my SMS.

That will give them a shock and stop them. Also report it to the mobile company as they CAN block numbers when they want to or feel like it, including reverse charge scam texts they get a cut from. > Report them to the police, they will be prosecuted under various > telecommunications and harassment acts. s/will/might possibly if the dibbles can be got out of a chair with a crowbar/ > Also report it to the mobile company as they CAN block numbers when they > want to or feel like it, including reverse charge scam texts they get a cut > from. I think this is the only hope. >s/will/might possibly if the dibbles can be got out of a chair with a >crowbar/ OK..I gotta ask..why "dibbles"?? The only dibble I've ever heard of is from Trumpton (or was it Camberwick Green?) where the firemen were called Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub.

Dibble was the police chap in Top Cat. > Dibble was the police chap in Top Cat. And a fireman as the other post said. Dave > Dibble was the police chap in Top Cat. That's the very chap. Bit of slang from the shedde and the kaff. I thought it was widely known, sorry. > The only dibble I've ever heard of is from Trumpton (or was it Camberwick > Green?) where the firemen were called Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, > Dibble and Grub. Trumpton. But wasn't it Hugh, Pugh, etc.? We do realy like going OT!

They were `the Pugh twins'. Thus, there were two Pughs. SignatureSAm. > I'm getting daft texts from someone who says they know me but won't pick > up the phone when I ring and won't reply to my SMS. Is there anyway I can > find who it is by other means - it's from an Orange number? Why not try calling by witholding your number and calling when they don't expect it - ie. not after a text but when they don't really expect it might be you? SignatureSue > I'm getting daft texts from someone who says they know me but won't pick > up the phone when I ring and won't reply to my SMS. Is there anyway I can > find who it is by other means - it's from an Orange number? Best way to deal with calls / SMS like that is to ignore them. The fuckwit sending them will soon get bored. You could also report it to Orange as a malicious call/s - giving them time / date information. Forget the filth ... unless the person was speeding while sending the SMS, they wont be interested. |
