Text messages from a fake number?
This is extremely frustrating and annoying. Some one with an iphone or android app has created a fake number to text me and is also able to call me. This person has called me multiple times over the past 5 months at various hours of the night! From 1am-6am i had 43 missed calls, back to back to back. The few times i answered there was no one on the other end. And then the text messages started coming in.saying "your voice hasn't changed" "you sound the same" but when asked who it was i got no answer, i did try calling the number bak from multple phones and land lines and it won't ring.one time it did say please wait while google earth contacts this number and then it hangs up on me. And other times itll beep 2 times like a fax machine and then hangs up. I have blocked the number but then the messages will start coming in from a diff #. This person apparently has personal information of mine and knows where i live because the last text message said "nice dog i was going to nock but he looks mean.come outside" my husband looked out the window and there was no one around. This person is not only rude but arrogant and obnoxious and when i don't respond to the texts they will keep texting non stop text after text after text. I don't know what to do anymore. Is there anyway these phone numbers from apps can be traced?
Get the local police. Hes harassing you.
Maybe try getting a new number yourself.
New number or prank them back
That's terrible! Pranksters like that should be thrown behind bars. You should refer this person to your local authorities and have him investigated. You may contact your telephone service provider, as well, and have this prankster blocked so that all this future messages and calls are filtered from coming through.
And how about you give him a dose of his own medicine? Report him to http://www.callercenter.com and post his phone number. With about 40 000 visitors on the website who can view the number, let's see how he'd feel when he starts getting anonymous text messages and calls too.
- Why is my iPhone5 sending some messages as iMessage and others as Text Messages? I understand that messages are sent as Text Messages when there's no signal or poor Wi-Fi connection. However, I'm successfully texting some people using iMessage but others (still iPhone users) as Text messages. The other person will send iMessages and then my responses will be sent as green Text Messages.
- When I receive text messages with emojis from an iPhone, why do the messages only appear partially? My phone is a "Verizon Samsung Intensity II" slide phone. (Also it's blue but that doesn't matter.) Also, if I'm included in an iPhone group chat (spoiled rich friends, but not snobby…), I get each posted message as a separate message, so I'll end up randomly with 67 unread messages clogging up my inbox.
- If someone were to block my text now number would it block my normal number? I was teasing my girlfriend on my text now and she blocked me and I tired calling her and texting her on my normal number but she won't reply and it only run once and hung up. She has an iPhone, would it block my normal number if she blocked my text now number?
- If I turn off push messages on my iphone 4 will I still get my regular text messages? I read that turning off push messages or setting them to manually helps save battery life. I want to know if I do this will I still be able to receive my regular text messages.
