My wife has been receiving nasty text messages from a phone number starting with 247 561 XXXX now I have searched the web and as far as i can tell the area code 247 is not used so does anyone have any information on how this is possible and what I can do about it!! Thanks so much in advance

That shows 309 area code with a 247 exchange. This number is a 247 area code with a 561 exchange

first save all the text and call the cops and they will summons your cell carrier to release the number to the cops who can investigate it

[thejgeffect]

yeah i would just give all the stuff to the cops

[cheech92007]

What kind of texts? Like Ads? Spam? Or actual normal messages like "whats up?"

Yeah it really depends on the nature of the messages, either way either call the local police or call the carrier to see if they can block that number, the wierdest thing is when you start receiving texts from your own number.. Now THAT'S wierd!

What up Bro!

Recall, I read an article about an app that disguises your
phone number, maybe that's what the perpetrator used.
Definitely not cool for you.

Use *69, last call return, and give em a piece of your mind.

Something smells fishy to me... hmmmm

[kaylasdad]

No she is not cheating. She alerted me to this. The thing that kills me is the 247 area code which is not used at all so it must be some program it is really upsetting here. I cannot say what the texts say exactly because nasty language used but the first one just said "wanna play b***h"

[ultra_magnetic]

All joking aside...that's not cool!

Sounds like someone who has her # is playing around using an app that disguises the number. If they didn't know her, how would they know she is woman? Hope you find this punk and teach him a lesson for messing with your family.
