Best text/call blocking app for android? (Bonus: Crazy person drama)

Specifically, I need to be able to block calls and texts from unknown numbers. I blocked this persons main and two known google voice numbers with my cell service provider (didn't even know I COULD do that till today), but as I understand it, he's going to get messages that let him know he can't reach me because I blocked access. I fully expect him to change his number or try to get additional google voice numbers once he realizes what I did.

This guy is fucking crazy beyond crazy. Like, off the wall crazy. If he lived anywhere close to me, I'd get a restraining order crazy. Belongs in a padded cell crazy. Has made threats (to me) against my family that live near him crazy (the threats were most likely empty, but still. Who does that??). Threatens to kill himself crazy. And I REALLY don't want to have to change my number (but I will, if this fails).

(No, this is not an ex or anyone I ever dated.)

I am at my wits end. Please halp.

I can block KNOWN numbers easily. I want to know the best way to block anything coming from an unsaved number. I'll change my number before I change service providers and get an iphone.

just change your number then


problem solved.

I said in my original post that I will if this doesn't work. My number is on my business cards and is a work number too. Doing so would be a HUGE deal, and might not even ultimately be effective. I'm still willing to do it, but only as a last resort.

Sprint. They allow me to block specific numbers, but not whole broad categories of them.

There's an app called call control that claims to be able to do that for your phone. Call Blocker pro...call control has a free 14 day trial

I was able to download an app from my jailbroken phone to do that, but I can't remember what it was

I understand. I wouldn't want to do that unless it was a last resort, and I would suspect if you do actually change your number he will go even more crazy and start harassing those close to you. I know there is an app that will make it to where he doesn't know he is blocked. The messages and texts would go into a hidden visual voicemail and text folder that is hidden by you and everyone and you can select the auto response text message he would receive that fit what you wanted. I just can't fukin remember it.
 
and what is that going to stop? Nothing...he'll just call from a new number, you going to block every single call except for those in your contacts?

This is retarded...change your number, print new business cards and be careful who you give it out to in the future.

That's exactly what I'm asking if is possible.

And I never gave him my number. He got it from a family member.

Cindy nailed it. Changing my number just increases the risk he will go more crazy and harass my loved ones. I've warned them of the possibility, but that doesn't stop him from actually doing it. Shit is not as open and shut simple as you think it is. He lives in a very small town where approximately 30+ relatives of mine live. Someone as fucking psychotic and full fledged delusional as this doesn't just go away when they lose one channel. I need to try all possibilities to find a discrete way to shut it down.

Cindy, thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into both.

then what's the point of having your number on your business card? So now nobody can call you? Or you're just going to hand out your business cards and pre-program the recipient of your cards into your phone?
 
also,

why the fuck haven't you notified the police? He's making threats against your family and you're just worried about getting an app for your phone to block numbers?

If you haven't already you need to call the police, have a no contact order placed on him, and still change your number.

Mitch, my cards are the least of my concerns. It's a concern, but the least of them. I didn't ask for advice on the situation, I asked for suggestions on good call restricting apps. You don't have enough information to really understand the scope of things to provide any useful advice here. I appreciate your input, but you need to take my word for it that changing my number is not the ideal fix-all you think it is.

Dude, I TRIED. I CALLED THE POLICE. In california, unless he makes physical threats, I don't have a fucking leg to stand on because he is on the other side of the country.

As I said, you don't have the full details - both on what he has done and said, as well as things I have tried to make it stop. Please stop judging me.

You call the police in his state, not yours.

Im giving good advice, just because it's not what you want to hear doesn't mean I'm judging you or being a dick.

I'm having a lawyer in NC look into my options there. Like I said, you don't know the details of what I have done.

Changing my number is not good advice. I didn't ASK for advice. And yeah, "Good luck with that" is kind of being a dick.
 
I just told you your options.


You call the local PD to him. Just because i don't know all the details doesn't mean i don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm not saying you don't know what you are talking about. I'm saying you don't know what I have or have not ALREADY DONE.

I called the PD local to him as well. They told me to talk to a lawyer. Which I'm doing.

I wish. I reached out to some friends in the area to see if anyone had a police officer friend (with the idea that I would solicit them to stop by his place in full uniform and put a scaring into him), but I came up dry. I'm hoping to be able to put together a case for a restraining order within NC, but I need to be able to stay sane in the meantime.

It was after the Paul Walker thread debacle, he's been sending her "I </3 sharks" and "I hated Fast Five" texts non stop.
 
I only communicate via snapchat using my safe-mail address. Let me know when you sign up Nef and I'll send you 10s of heaven...
 
fyi nef-


I have called the police on someone here from EF for harassment. I can tell you what you need to do and how to do it if you like.

It took a few phone calls to get it right, but I can tell you the proper procedure to save you the leg work. I know it's frustrating...hope it works out for you.

Mitch - I'm all ears for how you managed to get results that way. Seriously. I'm still going to work with the lawyer, but that shit takes time and I am all for any ideas on how to contain this shit in the meantime.

Its hard to get anyone to take you serious.

Here's a cease and desist you can send until then if you haven't already

Therefore, you are hereby demanded to cease and desist all further communication with YOUR NAME in any and all manners including but not limited to electronic, telephonic, text message, email, social media or through third parties.

Does this carry any weight if it doesn't come from some legal party?
 
Depends. If you think he won't take it serious w/o a lawyer then you could have them draft and send it, but you don't need them to. Depends on what you think he'll do when he sees it. Sometimes just sending it certified and writing it yourself is enough.

I've had a couple of offers. I'm just not one at this point to accept the collateral damage of kneecap breaker ending up in jail. "He wouldn't stop texting her mean/crazy things" is a shoddy defense angle, and I don't want anyone taking that bullet for me.

I'm working toward a legal solution at this point that hurts the least amount of innocent parties. I was back in a slightly passive place with this the last time we talked about it, but shit escalated again and I am back in fight mode. I'm just trying to be smart about it.

Nef, I'm sorry you have to go through this. I'm about a year into a situation in the same ballpark and it will wear you down psychologically. Laws are not always great. I don't have great advice for blocking apps but ensure, in the meantime, you and your family document everything..screenshots of calls, strange numbers etc. And the less you engage the better. Sending a letter like Cindy posted is good in that it shows clearly you've asked the contact to stop (if you ever end up in court) but the lawyer should know the best advice. I've become an expert in Canadian stalking laws and eventually did have to change my number and will likely move this spring. Pm me if you ever need to talk.

You're not missing out. This shit has dragged on for more than a year for me and has taken years off my life. Before anyone judges me for not taking a harder line sooner, remember that you don't know all the facts. I am a soft person with a sweet and non confrontational disposition. I have dealt with it to the best of my ability, most of the time on my own. But yeah, it sucks you dry.

I'm pretty awesome, but this freak isn't obsessed with me because of that, because he barely knows me. He's obsessed with some fake fantasy he projected onto me. There's not one damn flattering thing about this shit. Not one.

I've got record of the most egregious stuff. I also have record of me clearly stating that his continued harassment would be met with legal consequences (that went over well. And by well, I mean not at all. He spewed walls of text about how much power his family has in the area). I'm doing my best to build a solid case. In the last 24 hours I've had to block four more numbers, but not before I saved the walls of text I got from each.

I made an error begging this person to leave me alone. It showed weakness, and he's getting a real fucking kick out of knowing that this shit is making a normal life hard for me.
 
Nef, how often is he calling/texting you?

I wouldn't go straight blocking him, like Cindy said, in a way where he knows it. When I did that to the guy who was stalking me he a. Started physically showing up places and b. his friends all over town started telling him where I was and who I was with any time they saw me. It was miserable. And that guy didn't leave me alone for years.

So I think you either go about it legally or in some way that he's too scared shitless to keep it up. Blocking him just makes him think you're still too weak to deal with him, and makes him think he can keep going.

Hope you find an app or anything that helps. :( :heart:

Oh trust me I'm not jealous at all, I don't want to he in any of your shoes.

I did have a batshit ex who attempted to stalk me but I stopped him, I forgot to change my voicemail password and 2 years later realized he still checked it, weirdo...

It varies. Generally the brunt of it happens after 10pm eastern time, when I can only presume he is drunk. I found some of his social media pages (I have him blocked on FB) and he talks a lot about jameson.

I found an app that basically does what I need it to do, which is keep it out of sight while I go through slower channels to try to get it to stop, so things have been relatively peaceful today.
 
Jesus nefertitties, just get a fuckin boyfriend to stomp a gotdam mudhole in his ass, problem solved
