not sure if this is the right place to put this so i have also posted in chat but wondering about the legal aspect. It really upset me and I'm not sure what to do. I just listened to my 1571 BT ansafone messages and there was a text message sent from a mobile and turned into a computerized voice message on my landline. It said 'I am the devil, I am the devil, I am coming for you.' My dh rang the mobile and a man answered and then hung up. I would really like to contact the police but i don't know if they would do anything. What worries me is if they have my landline do they have my address from the phone book? I know its probably just a prank but there are some crazy people out there. its really put a downer on the weekend i was looking forward to. I just worry about it happening again when dh isn't there. Is there anything i could/should do?

dont worry too much.... they may not have "your" number but have just made up a number that happened to be "yours"

I would tell police but doubt they will do much

it amazes me that some people have enough time on their hands to terrorise innocent strangers Angry

thanks Nanny L - it just was a bit of a shock.

It sounds like a kids prank tbh.
Radio 1 were doing a joke thing about these home text things last year. They were just sending stupid messages to random phone numbers because they sound so weird.

My BIL sends them to us all the time as dh finds them hilarious.

You could ring BT and tell them but they don't really do anything until you've had a few of the calls.
The other option is x directory?
