WTF!!!! asking about being white!? that sounds nutty to me!!!!
I would definately stare clear of her!!! definately obsessive rather than lonely!!!

was thinking about that but she is on prepay and i didnt think you could do it with that.......

You can call the provider to get them blocked or whatever. I think there is soething funny about prepaid phones. And they need to be texting you so many times a day for a certain amount of time. A friend of mine had a problem a few years ago, but they couldn't do anything as she wasn't being texted enough.
Then again, rules often change, and you may find it different with each networks.

This person sounds weird!

hubby said to mention that she also tells me she has a mate that knows me............she doesnt know our last name so dont know why she keps saying that

Vodafone can only do anything if the texts you are receiving are abusive/threatening, and you need to keep several examples on your phone to forward to them.

What kind of phone do you have?
Most new Nokias have a function that allows you to trash texts from certain numbers - so you won't see them come in, they'll sit in a seperate folder in your phone (called "Screened Messages")

It's worth a call to Vodafone to see what they can do, but if the texts aren't malicious then there's not really much that can be done.
But if that number has been reported for the same kind of thing by several people, then there's cause for action.

Sounds really frustrating, good luck!!

ok so the latest txt where 3 last night asking if i had baby and boy or girl........this is the norm of the txt usually if i want to know if somone has had kid ill do it once not 5 time4s a day, hubby know thinking she may turn up to hospital and the kid go missing

sounds very weird.

If it were me I'd just ignore the txts. she'll get tired of it eventually. Yes I imagine she's very lonely and, through chatting on the net, probably considers you a 'friend'. Not that there's anything wrong with having net friends or anything *waves to the girls in due sep 08 group* but if you are that girls only 'friend' then that could be why she's becoming obsessed. Do you still chat in that mums group?

If it were me I'd change my number and that be that, she hasn't got your full/last name, address or any other details apart from your mobile phone eh?

Doesn't sound like normal behaviour to me, especially not that of a mother run off her feet with kids. The texts sound invasive. I'd be worried too.

I think we can all definitely take it as a lesson not to put our mobile #'s on a public forum, espesh one you aren't very familiar with and that can be viewed by non-members (guessing thats the case here ...)

Hopefully she get the idea quick smart if you keep ignoring.

I don't personally use my mobile ph. anymore as I hate them, but when i did I could block texts and calls from certain numbers (which came in bloody handy when you have a spat with someone ) ...The phone i have is a samsung and its the green slide one, not sure if this is a feature on all samsungs but worth a check- you'd think that if one brand has that capability most others would follow suit.

Ring vodafone and get it blocked and have three examples on your phone. pretty sure its not just for malicious calls as a girl at work kept getting weird texts afrom people she didn';t know even after sending an initial text to say that you got wrong number.

Gee sounds like a nut!!. Hope she doesn't live near me lolz. I thought there were plenty of Waikato mums on here..and there was a coffee group thingy happening to I think. Where abouts are you?
